For decades, Justice Clarence Thomas has secretly accepted luxury trips from a major Republican donor, newly obtained documents and interviews show.

The extent and frequency of these apparent gifts to Thomas has no known precedent in modern SCOTUS history... 🧵👇

@rbreich certainly makes one question every single legal decision he has ever made from the bench.

The Republican Party has been the "me and my interests first" party since Tricky Dicky committed treason at the Paris Peace Talks in 1968.

Ironically, in a country where Supreme Court Justices are expected to be partisan, does it even really matter.

@rbreich I believe it's time for President Biden to tell the court, either force Thomas' removal or he will add, at least, two more justices to the bench.

@rbreich Corrupt

@rbreich There are no ethics laws for SCOTUS. They can do anything they want in that corrupt department and get away with it. Many bills have been drafted years and years ago to reign them in, and using Thomas as the reason, but so far all have failed to gain any serious traction.

@rbreich Justice Thomas may be an outlaw who is above the law, but can the same be said for this oligarch in Dallas? Haul his ass into court for corruption and bribery of a public official. Er soll ins Knast.

For a guy who is conspiring to strip all sorts of long-held rights from people, he certainly seems to believe that he’s entitled to keep his acceptance of ill-gotten gifts a secret from everyone.

There’s only one reason for such ongoing largesse to one SCOTUS justice: influence.

For those who are interested, here is the source of Mr. Reich's declaration about Thomas and billionaire Harlan Crow and the years of undisclosed largess that Crow has been bestowed on Clarence and Ginny Thomas with no mention of any of it in his financial disclosure documents.

Clarence Thomas and the Billionaire

Island-hopping on a superyacht. Private jet rides around the world. The undisclosed gifts to Thomas have no known precedent in the modern history of the Supreme Court. “It’s incomprehensible to me that someone would do this,” says one former judge.
