Supreme Court for Sale? Or is just Justice Thomas for Sale?

By May 5, 2023No Comments

Associate Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas’s problems keep worsening. However, as Washington Post author Ruth Marcus declared today, “It’s impossible to imagine that the current Supreme Court Justice will ever resign as Fortas did in 1969.”

ProPublica’s original research was first to break the story on April 6th, 2023.  This story is growing into a monster of what seems to be billionaire Harlan Crow’s purchase of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.

Crow spends millions and millions of dollars on trips for Thomas.  As just one example, Thomas and his wife Ginny were invited on a journey via Crow’s huge 162″ “superyacht” that began in Indonesia.  Ginny and Clarence got there via Crow’s private jet — a Bombardier Global 5000.  If Thomas had paid for this trip himself, it is estimated the trip would have cost Half a Million $$$$.  Associate Supreme Court Justice is paid $274,000 annually, but this number does not include the benefits package.

But the continuing story of “Supreme Court Justice Thomas for Purchase” is like a patchwork quilt made of really ugly stuff that grows and grows.

This is a continuing story.
