Pic Of The Moment: Supreme Corruption

[EarlG]

Clarence Thomas Had a Child in Private School. Harlan Crow Paid the Tuition.

Judicial activist directed fees to Clarence Thomas's wife, urged 'no mention of Ginni'

1. Absolutely disgusting. Kick.

[TheBlackAdder]

43. And this is ONLY the shit that's been discovered. Imagine all of the take that remains hidden.

2. Jeez, KellyAnne gets around too

:facepalm It appears this is another case of projection. The pukes are always complaining about the "deep state" and how unelected bureaucrats are writing the laws while we're still dealing with the boosh1 administration.

[Maraya1969]

5. Did she break the law? I so hope she broke the law!

[Alexander Of Assyria]

8. It maybe the Law that is broken, no law or regulation or ethics means broken systems.

[NCjack]

16. Probably a taxable benefit to Clarence was avoided and became a tax deduction for Crow.

[Joinfortmill]

17. KellyAnne just kicked her ex-hubby, Goeroge's new career as political commentator in the gut. Oops.

[Wounded Bear]

3. K & R...nt

[niyad]

4. May all involved receive everything they deserve.

[rubbersole]

7. 👆👆👆

[czarjak]

37. Not enough justice in the world to give them what they deserve.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

6. Hidden Lake of Cash Academy...karma sends hints it's not sleeping just yet.

[bucolic_frolic]

9. Private school doesn't question 3rd party payments at $6k per month?

Really clubby at the top. No questions asked in the corridors of power.

[NHvet]

30. As long as the check doesn't bounce, no business ever cares.

[ShazzieB]

45. Of course. They want to get paid.

They want to get paid, so they can pay their own bills and stay in business. I don't see anything wrong with that.

I think it would be a bit much to expect a private school (or a business of any kind really) to question the source of every sum remitted to them. In the case of the school, if they even noticed who the tuition payments came from, what are they supposed to do about it? Monitoring who pays a Supreme Court Justice's bills is not their job or their responsibility.

[SWBTATTReg]

10. When Clarence Thomas and some of the other like-minded Justices moan about how Americans

mock their decisions etc., and some of the Justices make fun or ridicule Americans because of this, they think it's ridiculous and outrageous that Americans would do this (even though it's our 1st Amendment right to criticize).

And now when you see how the Justices mock ethics in outlandish ways such as taking payments for schooling and their wives, that no other jurist would do because of the ethics that govern their behavior, it reeks to the heavens of corruption and stink.

[COL Mustard]

34. Supreme Corruption

Roberts is the Chief Justice of the Supreme Corruption. Thomas and Gorsuch, and possibly others, appear to be his acolytes.

[marble falls]

11. There's lots of money in "justice". Seems like Harlan Crow got all the "justice" he can well afford.

[TeamProg]

12. K&R Thanks for posting. n/t

[Initech]

13. Right wing poltics are basically the world's largest get rich quick scheme.

Meanwhile, those of us who make an honest living are left to our own devices.

[COL Mustard]

35. Injustice Thomas is an example of how

Someone on a Government salary gets rich. I'm a senior rank and file employee at an Executive Branch department (a funny shaped building on the Potomac) and I'm required to take ethics training and to file a financial disclosure every year. If I had something like this I'd lose my job, at the very least. At worst I'd be prosecuted and probably sent to prison. The scare tales work. But it's different spanks for different ranks, as we used to say in the Army.

[3Hotdogs]

41. Right wing politics and Jesus.

You forgot Jesus.

I think Jesus pays more.

[lark2]

14. SCOTUS Christofascist 5 all appear to be (paid )right wing activists.

Comey Barrett didn't have to be paid to be a Christofascist, she was raised that way and is an active member. Of course, the dirt is probably there, but she hasn;t been around long. Handmaiden is very suspect too.

[Joinfortmill]

15. Don't see how he stays on the bench.

[JanLip]

19. Because

It’s bought and paid for

20. The mass corporate media will do its level best to hide the corruption, it's imperative.

[NHvet]

31. Once in the club

You're in for life. Quite cushy job too. Work 9 months of the year, with the whole summer off. They have a staff law of clerks to do all the "lawyering" and only really work during oral arguments. All for 285K plus all the side hustles you can run and no one will care, because you are above the law, because you are the law. Sweet deal for them indeed.

Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely

[Uncle Eddie]

18. I'm beginning to have some doubts about SCOTUS

They may be some corruption amongst them but since they say they're not corrupt and insist they're totally ethical I'm torn. How long before they do something that's enough to have them removed?

[Alexander Of Assyria]

21. They...are..all Republicans, so only tearing should be them from our Court. Corruption is poison.

[RussBLib]

44. Welcome to DU!

You are "beginning" to have some doubts about SCOTUS? That party started quite a while ago, friend.
There "may" be some corruption? How much do you need to see?

Would you call an alligator a lizard?

Would you expect someone who is corrupt to insist that they are corrupt? No, they will insist they are ethical.

There has already been enough evidence to remove Thomas, but it won't happen as long as Republicans continue to defend him, and that is unlikely to change unless we learn of Thomas molesting elected Republican's children. Maybe not even then.

Seems like you might have forgotten, or perhaps are not yet aware of, the sarcasm smiley?

22. Beyond Ethics ?

It especially goes well with the Beschloss post on Mastodon...

Ginni and Clarence Thomas have corrupted and degraded the Supreme Court and, in their silence, make clear their arrogant indifference and disdain toward all those who question them.


Thank you!

[James48]

26. Thomas must resign.

Sign my petition demanding that Thomas resign.

27. "The bucks stop here" is spot on !

[IronLionZion]

28. These people are really draining the swamp

it's breathtaking how they managed to get away with it for so long.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

29. For this thread

Link to tweet

[BeckyDem]

32. omg, Earl

lol@ justice for all donors!

[Marthe48]

33. News media, Instead of calling her ginni

Call her s.c.justice Clarence Thomas's wife. Make sure their criminal acts are linked to each other and the (formerly) s.c.
She's not ginni. She's a conniving, opportunistic criminal.

[ffr]

36. Can we pool money here on DU and buy a piece of a justice?

Or is their sale limited to billionaires?

[3Hotdogs]

42. We don't need a pool of money. One of them can be bought with a

6 pack of Bud.


(But don't make it Bud Light. Jesus don't like him no Bud Light. Bud Light supports the idea that some people don't like the way Jesus made them and want to change how Jesus made them. --- very ungrateful on their part. After all Jesus does for them.)

[TomSlick]

38. If this was a just country, Thomas would be impeached.

Of course, that will not happen. There is no way the GOP controlled House will so much as investigate Thomas' grift.

[HillbillyDaoist]

40. Nope, if it were truly just they would be treated like the Rosenbergs.

Love that these MAGAt fuckers in power are oh still on the Supreme Court, in Congress, and running for President while we just fuck around and are supposed to celebrate the "justice" of peons getting little sentences. I have no faith left in our justice system, our government or this country anymore as it just continues to circle the damn toilet bowl like a rotting turd. Regret not moving to Canada when I had the perfect opportunity.
