With The Latest Revelations About Clarence Thomas, What's The Over Under On "Weeks Until He Resigns in Disgrace"?

[jc456]

A federal law passed after Watergate requires justices and other officials to publicly report most gifts. Ethics law experts told ProPublica they believed Thomas was required by law to disclose the tuition payments because they appear to be a gift to him.​

​

Justices also must report many gifts to their spouses and dependent children. The law’s definition of dependent child is narrow, however, and likely would not apply to Martin since Thomas was his legal guardian, not his parent. The best case for not disclosing Crow’s tuition payments would be to argue the gifts were to Martin, not Thomas, experts said.​

​

But that argument was far-fetched, experts said, because minor children rarely pay their own tuition. Typically, the legal guardian is responsible for the child’s education.​

​

“The most reasonable interpretation of the statute is that this was a gift to Thomas and thus had to be reported. It’s common sense,” said Kathleen Clark, an ethics law expert at Washington University in St. Louis. “It’s all to the financial benefit of Clarence Thomas.”​

Clarence Thomas Had a Child in Private School. Harlan Crow Paid the Tuition.

Crow paid for private school for a relative Thomas said he was raising “as a son.” “This is way outside the norm,” said a former White House ethics lawyer.

[Mac-7]

Let me repeat, this is a bad look

It will hurt republicans politically and it will benefit the democrat cause

Nor dies it matter very much if the stories are true or fake news

Or maybe a mixture of both

The message that the public hears is bad for conservatives

Well, you know the trouble Justices have interpreting requirements and filling out forms.

That he would offer that excuse is remarkable.

How the f... can he be interpreting the Constitution?

Easy. Whatever the Republican Harlan Crow's position is...

The kid was not Thomas's son. End of story.

 

[B. Kidd]

Crow wasn't just redecorating his mom's house and paying her mortgage, he was paying his ward's tuition at prep school.

Stupid thread.
The Dimm's narratives and attack on SCOTUS fell apart the other day in the Senate Judiciary Oversight Committee hearing.
Obviously you missed it. C-SPAN is your friend.

Of course it is. That's how leftwing propaganda works.

Bri,

Don't presume.

It ain't going any further for now.
You and your dummy ilk got headed off at the pass, pard.

Please stop.

You really don't know what that was about.

Of course I do.
We're onto you.

 

[Aldo Raine]

There'll be some sweaty sleeps I'm thinking...

No there will not be. Rethugikkkons have no shame. This will mean nothing to them. They are on a jihad, nothing else matters.

True.

No, by lying

 

[bripat9643]

Bri,

Don't presume.

I don't, moron.

 

[The5thHorseman]

I don't, moron.

You just did.

The kid was a "dependent minor".
