No, you're going after Thomas to take attention away from Biden. Same thing happening with the Trump indictments. I've consistently said that if any Republican or Supreme Court conservative has broken the law then prosecute him to the full extent of the law. Have you said the same about Joe Biden? There's a mountain of evidence piling up against Joe Biden. Meanwhile, and here's your thread connection, the only thing we've seen against Thomas is claims like the one you posted. If he has broken the law then I'm certain Merrick Garland would be after him as he is as you know one of the most conservative members of the court. Why hasn't the liberal DOJ gone after him? Certainly it's what the Left wants.

Sure you can. Just want to clarify there's nothing out there but memes about Thomas so it's really not equal.

Clarence Thomas’ 38 Vacations: The Other Billionaires Who Have Treated the Supreme Court Justice to Luxury Travel
The fullest accounting yet shows how Thomas has secretly reaped the benefits from a network of wealthy and well-connected patrons that is far more extensive than previously understood.

No judge should be accepting gifts. Left, right or middle.
Is it illegal? If so where's Garland? Must be a real quandary for you. You'll have to criticize a Democrat for not doing his job. Must be tough. You'll get to experience what Republicans feel. We know so-and-so Democrat is a crook but they won't do a damn thing about it.
Annual salary $268,300. Is he really a kept man? Is he really dependent? Staying on for perks when he's likely a multimillionaire from the job?

$270,000 year gets you to multimillionaire status?
He's been on the court for 32 years. If he averaged $50k a year in savings he'd be at $1.6 million without earning anything on investments. And he'd have a nice government pension. You're familiar with basic math, no?

The private golf club membership that Wayne Huizenga gifted to Thomas costs $70,000 for initiation, $6000 for annual dues and an expectation to spend $5,000 to 10,000 in food and beverage a year.
Let's say he nets $180k on his salary. Puts a third into savings. That leaves him $10k a month to spend. Pretty certain his wife worked over the years too. I agree with you that the gifts smack of corruption. What bothers me is you're hot to criticize him but never said anything about Ginsburg having a trip to Israel paid for by a billionaire. Likely not the only gift she ever got. I think one of the liberal lady justices, possibly Sotemayor, got noticed for something odd. What was it, exceptionally high book advance? It was something but I don't recall. And you never talk about the Bidens being corrupt. Probably the main reason nothing is ever really done about corruption is most of Washington is corrupt to varying degrees.
By the way $100 a week in lunches and beers after rounds of golf is $5200 a year. Is that outlandish to you?

I keep asking you people and you can't come up with an answer: what case are you suggesting he ruled against his principles on because of his friends?

No they're going after him because they hate the constitution of the United States of America.

These idiots want Congress to oversee the supreme court. Literally haven't read the constitution.

So turn this around. If a liberal justice was doing the same things as Justice Thomas, you guys would be cool with it?
