Clarence Thomas Accepted Luxury Trips as Payoff in Secret
News broke today from political outlet ProPublica of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas’ scandalous acceptance multiple luxury trips from Harlan Crow, a GOP donor and billionaire . The controversially conservative and his wife embarked on lavish excursions to exotic locales such as Indonesia and failed to report the gifts.
Acceptance of these bribes not only fogs his credibility as a member of the highest court in the country but breaks the law that was created post the Watergate scandal in the 1970’s. As a result, he is currently facing impeachment for taking these gifts. “This is beyond party or partisanship. This degree of corruption is shocking—almost cartoonish. Thomas must be impeached. Barring some dramatic change, this is what the [chief justice John]Roberts court will be known for: rank corruption, erosion of democracy, and the stripping of human rights,” stated Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in a tweet.
