Thomas has attended at least two Koch donor summits, putting him in the extraordinary position of having helped a political network that has brought multiple cases before the Supreme Court.

    Am I the only person who wasn’t bribing Clarence Thomas?

      Clearly Clarence would have given you the time had you just asked. He’s VERY receptive.

        Me: I got $8 and a sandwich

        Clarence: Which is your least favorite civil right?

          Morally bankrupt, and hungry. Exactly what you want in a Supreme Court Justice.

            Morally bankrupt and, in Brett Kavanaugh’s case, actually bankrupt as well. He had $300k in debt just disappear when he was nominated for SCotUS. Fun part of that is at the time he claimed to only have about $10k in liquid assets on his financial disclosures.

        Yes, and I couldn’t get it to load without going to propublica.org directly. So I linked it directly, to help others. There’s still a few flaky things about the fediverse, and since I’d gone to the trouble to find the article, I figured to save others a few clicks.
