Clarence Thomas and the Billionaire.

what law???

So it's okay to bribe judges? $25K to his wife, $150K to his nephew, lavish trips what else? This is acceptable to you?

Then you shouldn't mind Hunter Biden getting money from special interests. What laws did Hunter break? Then stop complaining. If you don't mind what Clarence is doing then don't tell us you mind Hunter.

I am looking for evidence he was bribe. It's not bribery to be a family friend and help out with a great nephew's education or buy them dinner, or a gift etc...judges are allowed to have freinds.

This guy has never even had a case on the Court.....

Meanwhile, you said nothing when Justice Sotomayor heard a case involving a pubisher she got $3million dollars from....she didn't recuse herself, said nothing...you all stayed silent. So what's the difference? Oh, Thomas is a black man.....I would say there are different standards, but this beyond that....one Justice actually heard a case involving a company she was getting paid from, in business with...directly....the other involves two friends, and no case.

$25K
$6K a month for their nephew. Did you hear Harlan Crow's excuse? He was just trying to help a inner city kid? BULLSHIT ALERT! LOL

They answer questions because they are supoposed to be working for us not against us. When they do not answer they are not doing their job.

 

[pknopp]

According to a report from the Washington Post, conservative judicial activist Leonard Leo wanted to send thousands of dollars to Virginia "Ginni" Thomas, the wife of Clarence Thomas, in 2012.

But, he didn't want her named in the payment paperwork, the Washington Post reported.

Imagine that, he wanted to pay her but he wanted to go through someone else and make sure her name wasn't associated.

Why?


The same year Conway reportedly helped send the money to Ginni, the nonprofit that paid her submitted an amicus brief to the Supreme Court about a landmark voting rights case.

Though Justice Thomas didn't cite the nonprofit's brief, he did vote in favor of the side they supported.

[Hutch Starskey]

So I wonder what the libtard justices have been up to? Dems better watch where they tread.....There be landmines.

Good question. Better get you RW media goons on it, stat.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

It’s very likely others on the SC and judges throughout our justice system do similar things. Corruption reigns. However with any hope, Thomas will face consequences.

SC justices are the only federal judges not bound by an ethics code. They’re solely self reporters with no system in place to recognize or investigate possible violations.

Financial Disclosure and the Supreme Court
April 14, 2023
The Ethics in Government Act of 1978 (EIGA) established financial disclosure reporting requirements for
many high-level government officials and employees, including the Chief Justice of the United States and
the Associate Justices of the Supreme Court. Supreme Court Justices must file publicly available financial
disclosure statements that report certain financial transactions. A recent article detailing undisclosed trips
by an Associate Justice has increased interest in Supreme Court ethics and the interpretation of the
EIGA’s reporting requirements.
This Legal Sidebar provides an overview of financial disclosure requirements under the EIGA and how
they apply to the judicial branch. It also examines recent statutory and regulatory updates to judicial
branch financial disclosure requirements. The Sidebar concludes with a discussion of potential
congressional action on Supreme Court ethics and highlights legal considerations regarding Congress’s
authority to regulate the Supreme Court.
Federal Financial Disclosure Laws
The EIGA was enacted, in part, to “preserve and promote the integrity of public officials and institutions.”
To help achieve this goal, the EIGA requires, among other things, that covered employees file annual
financial disclosure statements reporting:
 income from any source (other than from current employment by the federal government)
including honoraria; payments made to charity in lieu of honoraria; and any dividends,
rents, interest, and capital gains that exceed $200;
 gifts and reimbursements (although filers do not have to report gifts received from
relatives or food, lodging, or entertainment “received as personal hospitality of an
individual”);
 interests in property;
 liabilities exceeding $10,000 owed to any creditor other than a close family member
(with certain exceptions such as mortgages for personal residences);
 transactions that exceed $1,000 in real property (other than a personal residence) and
securities;
 positions with outside entities and major sources of compensation;

That law doesn't apply to Justices on the SCOTUS. It applies to members of Congress, certain members of their staffs and employees of the branch, folks running for Congress, certainemployees of the Executive branch, certainly employees of the judical branch, including Judges...but not Justices. Why? Because they are the Judicial Branch, it also doesn't apply to the President (once in office) or the VP (once in office)
