Here is the picture of a sellout. Not only has he sold out the black community, he has sold out America. This is a supreme court justice. He is the ultimate arbiter of the law. Yet he has taken gifts from people, some who have had cases in front of the court. Out of 5 million dollars in gifts gven to the justices, Thomas got 80 percent, or 4 million dollars worth of gifts. It's time the Supreme Court gets incuded in the overhaul or reform of our justice system. It's time for Thomas to go.
Watchdog: Of $5M in gifts to all Supreme Court justices, Thomas took $4M
Supreme Court justices combined have received nearly $5 million in gifts over the past 20 years, and Justice Clarence Thomas received the lion's share.Data release Thursday by judiciary watchdog Fix the Court found the high court's nine justices have accepted 344 gifts valued at almost $3 million since 2004. Adding 202 gifts for eight justices who have stepped down since then, that number grows to over $4.7 million.
Thomas, alone, has accepted 193 gifts valued at over $4 million. The report also noted the George H.W. Bush appointee received an additional 126 "likely but not confirmed gifts."
The group added Thomas only reported 27 of the gifts on his financial disclosures.
