Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has been asking for $50,000-$100,000 in annual revenue from a company that hasn’t existed since 2006.
According to the Washington Post:
Over the past two decades, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas reported on required financial disclosure forms that the family received hundreds of thousands of dollars in rental income from Ginger, Ltd., a partnership.
But that company — a Nebraska real estate firm started in the 1980s by his wife and her relatives — hasn’t existed since 2006.
…
Since then, however, Thomas has continued to report income from the defunct company — between $50,000 and $100,000 a year in recent years.
Judge Thomas got zero benefit of the doubt, but at best this behavior shows a lack of concern for the ethical disclosure process. At worst, Thomas has been dormant for nearly two decades in publicizing form.
Thomas should be under multiple investigations by all three branches of government.
The complete lack of control over Supreme Court judges is something that needs to change. If Thomas is not following the rules of conduct, how can no one notice? The answer is that the Supreme Court has no oversight to ensure that judges are compliant.
Clarence Thomas is corrupt and why Supreme Court reform is needed.
The court itself affirmed its unwillingness to police. Public confidence in the Supreme Court is very low.
It’s time for lawmakers to stand up to Clarence Thomas and Supreme Court corruption.
