From what I can gather he is he least intelligent SCJ in history. But if you want to oust every politician who has accepted gifts/trips/Met Gala tickets/free meals/sex from interns/fake jobs due to your father’s name/etc.. there would be NO elected officials left. The actual salaries of these Congresspeople are low enough that they couldn’t afford a luxury box seat at a Yankee World Series game. Years ago my ex got invited to one of those (through a connection to Hal Steinbrenner) and she sat among the Governor, and other assorted politicos. I think the face value of the tix were $5k? You paying $5k a ticket for you and your wife on a $170k a year salary? I doubt it. |

If in prison serving for the crime, can he still be an active Supreme Court Justice? Let’s say he is convicted of some misdemeanor and is sentenced to 5 days, what happens? What if he’s convicted of a ‘minor’ felony but is not given prison time? But in reality he will be able to do what Biden did when his document stealing (I mean not returning) was found out. He’ll say he won’t do it again and it will go away except for the loonies on the left (for Thomas) or the loonies on the right (for Biden). This is a big nothing. It’s less than the $30k ticket AOC took. AOC advanced a political cause with the $$ she took. Thomas did not. |

| SOOPOO Member since: Feb 19, 2014 Threads: 25 Posts: 5730 | Clarence Thomas’ trips are CHUMP CHANGE compared to law firms paying Chief Justice Roberts’ wife over TEN MILLION DOLLARS! You know, to be a ‘recruiter’!!!! And I’m sure it is just a coincidence that some of these firms had cases before the Supreme Court!!!!! She must be a great ‘recruiter’!!!!!! He should resign and go on permanent vacation with Thomas. I really can’t imagine how this can be spun any other way than pure corruption and buying influence? |
