Just a reminder that Clarence Thomas let a GOP megadonor take him on lavish trips, buy his mom's house and let her live there rent free, pay for his grandnephew to attend a private boarding school — all in secret until now.
How is he still on the Supreme Court?

Because Congress doesn't have the presence of mind to pass laws that require automatic removal of any federal judge for violating disclosure laws.
They delude themselves into believing they are honest and follow the laws faithfully, even though they clearly don't do that.
Yet those same federal judges (SCOTUS included) expect everyone else to abide by their rulings.
