  1. Could you guys imagine the outrage from the Republican Party If This Were a Democrat scotus and he and his wife accepting millions of dollars in gifts?! The GOP blew a head gasket over Barack Obama’s tan suit, but nothing but crickets on this one!

  2. Ginni from the block and uncle Thomas have been pimping on the side. And ScaryANNE was a part of it. Wow.

    1. @Nancy Lee how does it feel to live on an island with no one. It’s the only way that you could draw the conclusions that you have. Nancy, is Russia really cold. Do you get out much.

    1. Doubt it. The way she talks. Forget her monthly cycle. They will bleed red before the day is out. She’ll talk herself into a deal. Then write a book about it in her sleep.

  3. Six adults have a playground with no rules and no consequences (SCOTUS) don’t act surprised when they take advantage and feather their own nests. Its so disgusting it hurts just to hear about it 🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

    1. @Mya Cox-Long Human greed, dishonesty and distain for the poor and vulnerable in society upsets me. I feel sorry for Ginni Thomas because she doesn’t have an IQ high enough to understand any of this, her Judge husband does though 😮😮😮

    2. Enough with the tribalism. All 9 of them are more or less free to do as they please, as none of their fellow Justices are going to press for disciplinary action, lest it come back to bite THEM in the butt and limit the many liberties they enjoy. The last thing ANY of them want is scrutiny and the restraints that would surely follow.

  4. You don’t come back from this level of corruption, there is no one above them to stop it and they feel completely entitled to it.

    1. @Angela Milton  I don’t think the other justices wanted this. Now people are a poking around their business, too. We already see the tip of the chief justice’s corruption. You don’t think that beer-guzzling crybaby doesn’t have benefactors he’s grifting?

  5. Do Ginnie and Clarence share a joint bank account? Have joint deeds on property? File joint income tax forms?

    How separate are their finances?

  6. It appears that there can be no repercussions for Clarence himself, having a lifetime appointment, he doesn’t have to answer to anything. However, if criminal charges can be brought against his wife, that will go a long way. Only problem is that the long way may go right up to the Supreme Court where her complicit husband would have a ruling in it.
    There’s a big problem with that.

  7. Thomas should resign period!!! We need term limits and 13 or 15 judges in the Supreme Court ASAP!

    1. @castanza128 Well it works like that when you paid for it. But I didn’t check your box . Not one paink, cent. I’m smarter than that.

  8. If everything were above board without a hint of being unethical, Leo wouldn’t have put the caveat that G.Thomas’ name not appear on the billing. They absolutely knew that this was improper and that’s why they handled the bill as they did.

  9. Republicans have always told us that Justice Clarence Thomas is a very gifted man. Now we understand what they have always been telling us.

  10. I think the IRS needs to take a look at his tax returns,… it might only be an ethics issue for a member of the highest court in the US and not impeachable but what about tax evasion?

  11. Taxes taxes taxes! Don’t these payments to Jenny Thomas need to be reported to the IRS and pay taxes on them? Shouldn’t Justice Thomas have been reporting all of these gifts that he’s gotten over the years to the IRS and pay taxes on them? Did they report V’s gifts in income to the IRS? Did they pay taxes on them? And if they did not, is that tax evasion? A simple codified law to use against them, not an ethical violation but a legal violation.

    I think all of this that is going on demands an audit of all of the justices. Arabian audit is what needs to be done before they are confirmed.

    1. @Rod every person who has been proven to have income that they did not report should be paying taxes. Not being political, just holding those in power to the same tax laws as the rest of us.
      And this aspect of this story has not been addressed.

  12. This just shows how much a Supreme Court Justice cost…. I’m sure there’s more to come
