Clarence Thomas and the Billionaire.

[Care4all]

So Ginsber’s going on a trip to Israel and 13 other trips paid by billionaires and one that had a case before the Supreme Court was no big deal?

Didn't she go with Justice Scalia and wasn't the trip DECLARED.

THE PROBLEM from what I understand is Thomas and now Alito, kept their so called gifts from big Billionaire republican political donors, HIDDEN.

Docket

 

[struth]

The justices did not take up either case.

It is not known how Justice Sotomayor voted on whether to take up either case, though she did not publicly recuse herself.

yes she voted on the case…and didn’t refuse herself despite being paid millions

the dembots said nothing

this is what dembot cult mentality looks like

 

[Nuthin' Fancy]

yes she voted on the case…and didn’t refuse herself despite being paid millions

No, she didn't RETARD.
The SCOTUS didn't even take the case.

the dembots said nothing

Because their was nothing to see.

This is what teabagger criminality looks like.

1) yeah, she didn't...like I said...which case? there have been a number of cases involving the party that gave her millions, none of which she recused herself on, and many she actively voted on.
2) why? neither of them got millions from a party before the Court, unlike Justice Sotomayor

Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor didn’t recuse herself from multiple cases involving a book publisher – Penguin Random House – which paid her more than $3 million since 2010, according to a report.

....


The same year that her memoir came out, Sotomayor voted on whether the high court should take up Aaron Greenspan v. Random House.

Her liberal colleague at the time, Justice Stephen Breyer, recused himself from the case, having also received money from Penguin Random House.

So....................NOTHING happened with those cases, you fucking retard.
Sotomayor, an appointee of former President Barack Obama, disclosed the income from her book publisher on her annual disclosure forms.

Alito and Thomas didn't.

Alito and Thomas didn't.

So? They didn't have to.

The issue is she was hearing numerous cases and voting on them involving the party that gave her three million....her vote was bought and paid for.

Thomas and Alito never heard or took millions from the guy they fished with or the family friend that helped out a great nephew.

The things you accuse Alito and Thomas of doing, your girl in fact did....silly dembot cultist

At the very least Thomas did it also which is why I have argued Roberts needs to enact strong ethic rules with strong repercussion for violating them but sadly seems unable or unwilling to.

[sealybobo]

They are clearly legislating from the bench. Overturning precedent. Not following stari decisis.

That's outrageous!!!!

Only liberals are allowed to do that.

Only we didn't. Your reply means you are ignorant to what this new extreme right court is doing. You'll see. Most people won't be happy with their decisions you'll see. They serve billionaires not us.

I'm so glad the court is being exposed for it's corruption

You cons are so funny. FBI, corrupt. Normal Republicans, RINOS. Democrats are the enemy. The press is the enemy. You guys claim the system is corrupt but here we show you right wing corruption and boy oh boy do you defend it.

Like my con friend said, "honestly, do you think Biden is an honest man?" and I said of course he is. If he wasn't, the Republicans would have exposed it when he ran for VP, or President. Because the GOP never released any dirt on Joe, he must be honest.

You guys called Hillary a liar for one lie. She said she was under sniper fire when that wasn't actually true. One lie. That means she's a liar. But then you allow Trump to lie repeatedly, because Hillary lied, once. What's that all about?

 

[Papageorgio]

Didn't she go with Justice Scalia and wasn't the trip DECLARED.

THE PROBLEM from what I understand is Thomas and now Alito, kept their so called gifts from big Billionaire republican political donors, HIDDEN.

According to the articles I have posted there are a lot of HIDDEN trips from all the justices and there in lies the bigger issue. Over a thousand known and many more not known, paid by billionaires that have had gone before the Court. I’m not sure of the answer as it all sounds shady but to be silly and make it a left and right issue is just plain stupid, but one side seems to be louder about it all.

You're full of it.
Roe v Wade was legislating from the bench.
Overturning precedent. Not following stare decisis.

They exposed his plagiarism, his racism, his corruption, his fondling.
If a Republican had his past, he'd never have been reelected even once to the Senate.
But because he's a corrupt Dem, the press ignored what they'd have hung a Republican for.

You guys called Hillary a liar for one lie.

Thousands of lies.

 

[jbander]

RBG was a Card Carrying Member of the ACLU, and never recused herself even once, even when they advocated for one position or another.

So, tough shit.

Love it when you people are so stupid you can't see the difference. Your only answer now to your hate party people doing something illegal or wrong is going back in history to find a democrat that did anything at all, doesn't even have to be in the same field. Thats all you losers are left with at this point. Trying to justify the actions of your criminal group by what someone else did in the past, The humor is you are to fucking stupid to see that IF someone does something it can't be oked because someone else did the same thing. You people are nothing put bottom feeding idiots. Pond scum comes to mind.

 

[jbander]

No, she didn't RETARD.

Thomas defines the meaning of Uncle Tom.

 

[sealybobo]

I have to think this will get interesting. Thomas has taken a ton of trips paid for by a billionaire campaign donor.

On the surface this appears to be in violations of federal law when he reported none of them.


IN LATE JUNE 2019, right after the U.S. Supreme Court released its final opinion of the term, Justice Clarence Thomas boarded a large private jet headed to Indonesia. He and his wife were going on vacation: nine days of island-hopping in a volcanic archipelago on a superyacht staffed by a coterie of attendants and a private chef.

If Thomas had chartered the plane and the 162-foot yacht himself, the total cost of the trip could have exceeded $500,000. Fortunately for him, that wasn’t necessary: He was on vacation with real estate magnate and Republican megadonor Harlan Crow, who owned the jet — and the yacht, too.....................................

.....................These trips appeared nowhere on Thomas’ financial disclosures. His failure to report the flights appears to violate a law passed after Watergate that requires justices, judges, members of Congress and federal officials to disclose most gifts, two ethics law experts said. He also should have disclosed his trips on the yacht, these experts said.

Clarence Thomas Secretly Accepted Luxury Trips From Major GOP Donor

A bought and paid for Supreme Court judge. That's the very definition of a banana republic.

Your title is wrong. It should be Clarence Thomas and the BILLIONAIRES.

Thomas has secretly reaped the benefits from a network of wealthy and well-connected patrons that is far more extensive than previously understood, ProPublica reported.

A cadre of industry titans and ultrawealthy executives have treated him to far-flung vacations aboard their yachts, ushered him into the premium suites at sporting events and sent their private jets to fetch him — including, on more than one occasion, an entire 737. It’s a stream of luxury that is both more extensive and from a wider circle than has been previously understood.

Thomas’ leisure activities have been underwritten by benefactors who share the ideology that drives his jurisprudence. Their gifts include:

At least 38 destination vacations, including a previously unreported voyage on a yacht around the Bahamas; 26 private jet flights, plus an additional eight by helicopter; a dozen VIP passes to professional and college sporting events, typically perched in the skybox; two stays at luxury resorts in Florida and Jamaica; and one standing invitation to an uber-exclusive golf club overlooking the Atlantic coast.

This accounting of Thomas’ travel, revealed for the first time here from an array of previously unavailable information, is the fullest to date of the generosity that has regularly afforded Thomas a lifestyle far beyond what his income could provide. And it is almost certainly an undercount.

Thomas appears to have violated the law by failing to disclose flights, yacht cruises and expensive sports tickets, according to ethics experts.

At first he said Harlan Crow was a close personal friend of his. Now he has to explain 37 more billionaires.

Thomas had another benefactor, oil baron Paul “Tony” Novelly, whose gifts to the justice have not previously been reported

Each of these men — Novelly, Huizenga, Sokol and Crow — appears to have first met Thomas after he ascended to the Supreme Court. With the exception of Crow, their names are nowhere in Thomas’ financial disclosures, where justices are required by law to publicly report most gifts.

“It’s just the height of hypocrisy to wear the robes and live the lifestyle of a billionaire.” Taxpayers, he added, have the right to expect that Supreme Court justices are not living on the dime of others.
Fox, who worked under both Democratic and Republican administrations, said he advised every new political appointee the same thing: Your wealthy friends are the ones you had before you were appointed. “You don’t get to acquire any new ones,” he told them.

But you ignore Joe Biden

 

[tahuyaman]

With the left, those dark skinned people better not wander off the plantation. They need to stay in their place.

 

[sealybobo]

But you ignore Joe Biden

You don't have any evidence on Joe but you have all this evidence on Clarence Thomas and all you have to say is whataboutism?

There’s plenty of evidence about our president’s corruption.
