It’s important to point out here that if Clarence Thomas was a lawyer working for some law firm or even judge the people who are courting him since he became a Supreme Court Justices wouldn’t be giving him the time of day.
The same could be said about any of the justices, but especially Clarence Thomas because he is a black man.
The paywall seems to be done on the article.

Oops, just posted this on the miscellaneous thread. Seems Thomas and wife have accepted very generous donations or such, including the paying for their wedding reception! More revelations about U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas' ties to a right-wing club that connected him to the billionaires and power players that he needed. *** Justice Thomas’s acceptance of such hospitality apparently predates his time on the court," the report said. "A former girlfriend said in an interview that 'a buddy' of Justice Thomas had paid for their vacation in the Bahamas in the mid-1980s, when he was chairman of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. A longtime friend said he had paid for the justice’s 1987 wedding reception" when he wed his latest wife, Ginni Thomas. ***
The report reveals that the Thomas' omissions on their disclosure forms may come from a decades-long life of taking gifts from people in the "club" and considering it nothing more than "hospitality" that didn't need to be reported.

I am so tired of the corruption, particularly by Clarence Thomas, over and over again!! This HAS been been reported previously, but NOT by Thomas.... This is reported today 06/07/24 A Texas billionaire known to have cozy relationships with high-profile conservatives foot the bill for two 2019 trips to Bali and membership to a private California club for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, according to a report published Friday. The trips were disclosed for the first time Friday in required annual financial disclosures for 2023, obtained by The Washington Post. A copy of the records wasn't immediately available on the online Federal Judicial Financial Disclosure Reports database. *** "Supreme Court justices should not be accepting gifts, let alone the hundreds of freebies worth millions of dollars they’ve received over the years,” Fix the Court’s Gabe Roth said in a public statement. “The ethics crisis at the Court won’t begin to abate until justices adopt stricter gift acceptance rules.” The latest financial disclosures also showed justices Brett Kavanaugh, Neil Gorsuch and Ketanji Brown Jackson all received book payments of more than $100,000, the Post reported. Additionally, Jackson received four tickets to a Beyoncé concert worth about $4,000, and several justices made money from teaching at law schools. www.rawstory.com/clarence-thomas-2668478162/ |

I always believed Anita Hill, and I've despised his smugness since.

Fox News this week hyped up a purportedly "eye-popping" revelation about Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson disclosing that she received concert tickets from pop star Beyoncé whose value totaled nearly $4,000. x.com/FaithandMind1/status/1799888124933190080 |

Personally, I do not like the idea of Justices receiving any gifts. But she did disclose. |

Three more trips revealed for Thomas.. Supreme Court Justice Thomas jetted around on Texas billionaire conservative Harlan Crow's private plane between 2017 and 2021 — at least three more times than he previously disclosed, according to documents secured and released by the Senate Judiciary Committee, according to multiple reports. The revelations that Crow offered up to the committee show Thomas flying from St. Louis, Missouri, to Kalispell, Montana, and a final landing spot in Dallas two days later. www.rawstory.com/supreme-court-justice-clarence-thomas/ |
