Breaking news: Clarence Thomas says he was advised that lavish trips with GOP donor were “personal hospitality” and didn’t need to be reported

The trips were funded by Harlan Crow, a Dallas businessman and influential donor to Republican candidates and causes related to the law and judiciary. Thomas said Friday that Crow was among his “dearest friends” for over 25 years.

Judges are prohibited from accepting gifts from anyone with business before the court. Until recently, however, the judicial branch had not clearly defined an exemption for gifts considered “personal hospitality.” on an array of trips funded by Crow, saying that Thomas typically spends about a week every summer at Crow’s private resort in the Adirondacks. It said the justice also has vacationed at Crow’s ranch in East Texas and has joined him at theIt cited a nine-day trip that Thomas and his wife, Virginia “Ginni” Thomas, took to Indonesia in 2019, shortly after the court released its final opinions of the term.

I mean that's not suspect

nhannahjones He just made that up.

who did the advising? do the ones who advised know more than the one who was advised?

So, he wants us to believe he didn’t know any better? Shameful! Please Resign! 😤

He is a corrupt sexual harasser who panders to the ultra right, and he needs to GO!

Oink! Oink!Oink!

Just because Thomas becomes a Supreme Court Justice doesn't mean he has to throw away a long time friend and that goes for all those Liberal Supreme Court Jutices!

nhannahjones Who advised him?

Do as I say, not as I do...

'Ignorance of the law is no excuse.' I would like to think for someone who interprets the law as a SupremeCourt judge he can read and comprehend well. What kind of an insulting excuse is that to this country 🤔 coward

Everyone knows that was unethical and had conflict of interest. Is he a judge or what? He is so corrupted.

When I worked, it was considered a bribe if I took a cup of coffee from a contractor!

That is such bullshit! Thomas is not a child and he should know he's breaking the law.

Uncle Tom Clarence isn’t fooling anyone. Yeah Clarence they take you on these trips because they really like . GTFOH

Clarence Thomas is a SCOTUS justice. Well technically anyway. Reporting requirements or no, he knows what quid pro quo means and what it entails.

he wasnt in this friendship until after he was justice his supposed consulted colleagues are dead If he consulted said colleagues, he wasn’t getting 500,000.00 trip at that time as a SCOTUS Justice he should KNOW law and ethics

Not only is he wrong but he is,also a liar.

Judges are part of the corrupt system of colonialism enslavement Racism Prejudice Corrupt Dysfunctional DEFACTO GOVERNMENT

when the balance of law is held by money. These guys should be eliminated in many ways. If the law is unclean, the Supreme Court should be abolished

I will bet my last dollar that he is not alone in this corruption.

If there was ever a time to believe Anita Hill, this is it. He doesn't know the difference between right or wrong or in my view, simply doesn't care.

ClarenceThomas mutherfkr he is,needs to be impeached along with crybaby Cavanaugh& coneyBarrett.They lied in their confirm hearings.While there investigate crybaby on how all his debts were paid off.Looks like most of SCOTUS IS DIRTY.ALL public figures need to be investigated

Don’t they always tell poor people ignorance of the law is no excuse? That should apply here as well. Even more so actually

Advised my whom?

Apparently Clarence Thomas believes that he is above the law.

Who advised him of this? The Chief Justice? The voices in his head? His insurrectionist wife? “A judge shall uphold and promote the independence, integrity, and impartiality of the judiciary, and shall avoid impropriety and the appearance of impropriety.”

Clarence Thomas need to GO‼️IMPEACH HIM

Thomas should resign immediately but of course he will not b/c he cares about self more than he cares about the country

There isn't any thing that can be done and we all know it. The only thing is if the supreme court takes action. That ain't happening. So another one gets away with it.

Clarence Thomas knew what he was doing was wrong, and he decided to keep it off the books!

This one is just after, “The dog ate my homework”—pathetic unethical loser

I bet he got his “advice” from Scalia who died while sleeping in a GOP donor’s hospitality. 🤣🤣🤣

He was “naive” enough to think Crow befriended him because he liked him. He was already a Justice when Crow slithered up to him. Someone who lacks good judgement doesn’t belong on the Court. An actual Uncle ThOMas story.

Time to change that rule whoa

Advised by the thought in his head? This is totally ridiculous!

A “Judge” can’t decide for himself what is acceptable to report?

nhannahjones Apparently Clarence Thomas doesn't have very good JUDGEMENT.

Clarence is unethical, corrupt and a liar. He must be removed from the court. Ginny must be prosecuted for her role in the J6 insurrection.

As a government employee if I received a holiday box of See’s I could accept it if I shared with the whole office. I would open the box and take my favorite piece as I left the box out to share. I feel a little guilty about that. Thomas doesn’t have my level of conscience.

IleneYoutz3 And absolutely, no one believes him

Liar

Unbelievable!

I’m sorry but whatever excuse Clarence Thomas comes up with, the fact of the matter is that IT LOOKED BAD. Especially coming from a Supreme Court Justice WHO SHOULD’VE KNOWN BETTER.

More Gop B.S Lies.... ExpelUncleThomas

Did he ask Trump?

His 'advisers' must have flunked 'Advising 101' when in colleges and universities ... or maybe wife Ginni 'advised' him that it was okay while basking in the sun on a chaise lounge near an island in the South Pacific.

ImpeachClarenceThomas

This is the same guy who went for a period of TEN YEARS without ever asking a single question from the bench during the hearings of the cases before SCOTUS! UNBELIEVABLE!

As an ultimate 'Justice' this guy has ZERO good judgement. Anita Hill told us and the Senate didn't believe her! How sad.

It’s okay to have a rich life long friend. That doesn’t necessarily mean he’s corrupt. Now if we were talking Bill Clinton who often traveled to nefarious places on someone else’s dime, or if he made a fortune off of inside trading, it would be a completely different story😎

He’s the judge. What does he think?

Advised by his wife?

Enough is enough!!!! Fire him!

Impeach him. He's corrupt to the core.

BorrelliGerlach Advised by whom, his wife?

Someone needs to tell Thomas that the use of contraception is “personal hospitality”.

This isn’t hard. Convene Senate hearings, put Thomas under oath. First question. Who advised you?

I thought he was a supreme count judge and should have known this.

There you go. He didn’t break any rules.

Bought and paid for

And we think he is the only one that does this? The whole government is corrupt. Ask Soros. He has plenty of them on his pocket. They all make a great salary and do even better with the perks and the people who rub elbows with. They are so shady enforcing laws and breaking them.

Just another republicans Grifter

Advised by whom? This guy?

Which mean his republican pals on the bench are doin the same things. They all need to be investigated.

He should resign immediately. There can be no appearance of impropriety on members of tge court

Being a black conservative has to be brutally hard.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🍧

So what. At least he did not take all the kickbacks like all members of the BIDEN corrupt family.

Criminal

I would like to know who his advisers are. I'm sure they'll fess up to it. Either he pays hush money or pays a batch of folks to say yes. What's his way out of this? There isn't any.

He has to prove it during his impeachment trial. Told my teacher the dog ate my homework.......

Did he ‘advise’ himself? Being a Supreme Court Judge, and all 😑

Wow! This so-called honorable justice and his wife need to move to Mar-a-Lago...

A good thing he has friends who have some legal background so he can get the necessary advice on what the law says….

How about the lavish trips politicians took to EpsteinIsland ?

And this guy is a Judge in the highest court in our land? Common sense should prevail. Advised by whom? He is even making poor choices in his personal life. He might want to get his future advice from someone who still identifies with us “common stock” folks.

nhannahjones Can we now understand this as structural violence?

With a dash of favors!

UNBELIEVABLE!

Clarence Thomas is as Supreme Court Justice making laws on our highest court. He knows the laws & has access to review the laws so it’s disappointing that is posting Thomas’ serial lies.

How much influence did this donor have on Roe V Wade

I just asked ChatGPT if Thomas should be impeached. Answer: 'Yes'. The most concise answer ever.

This from a sitting judge on the SCOTUS!! How low can one go

Doesn’t pass the sniff test

What’s wrong with taking million dollar sextourism trips by billionaire friends who want you to pass legislation for them almost all the justices are doing it why do you think the federalist society exist

Obviously he doesn’t understand the law, look at his record.

Because he is above the law

If he put his hand on the bible it would bite him back... Corruption to it's core

But didn’t his superior judgement tell him that those donors might want something from him, in exchange for “personal hospitality”?

Thomas was “advised” that sexually abusing coworkers was ok. The republicans were ok with that.

“Advised”. … I was advised that I can drive drunk, rib a bank, not pay taxes, etc set etc. right wing errors are ALWAYS the biggest hypocrites.

His “defense” is laughable.

JadeJensen29 BREAKING NEWS— Justice Thomas needs to be removed from the bench immediately— for his deep-seated/long-lived corruption, for aiding his wife in her Jan 6th insurrection activities & for being an ignorant fool. SCOTUS

I can't wait to write my next book entitled: Clarence Thomas: The Ultimate Sell Out.

Whatever happened to having a moral compass and moral probity, especially if you're a Chief or Associate Justice of the SCOTUS?

🤣😂🤣😂 and what does this man do again… where is the moral compass?!?

Sounds like he and those colleagues aren’t capable of good judgement

Just an “average guy” who likes Walmarts who stays at places that cost $2k per night…on his friends dime…flies on private jets….rules on cases involving his wife…yeah Thomas needs to go and so does his wife

Oh hahahabhaahah

Who advised jim? Ginny his wife?

I do not believe him. I didn’t believe him about Anita Hill either.

It’s fucking income to anyone else!

Washington Post newspaper about your tweet Clarence Thomas says he was advised that lavish trips with GOP donors or personal hospitality are you criticizing judge Clarence Thomas or you don't like his wife's opinions

Sure, Jan...

'No it's totally okay! No one else follows the law either, so it's fine! Trust us!' Like bro. Why take any judge seriously, ever again? Why bother with a legal system?

BS

1. He needs to name the advisors. 2. He’s proven to be unfit to be a Supreme Court justice just by not knowing the rules himself. 3. He needs to resign and/or be expelled. 4. What is the punishment for the high trust he’s broken?

He is a liar

Supreme Court judge since 1989 and he doesn't understand the law. Clarence Thomas must remember that legal principal. 'Ignorance of the law is no excuse' ThomasClarence

HE. IS. A. LAWYER. He new what he was doing. Don’t publish this bullshit propaganda. Be better.

Kushner & Trump were bribed w/ $2 BILLION 2 cover up the murder of Khashoggi & for nuclear classified documents from Trump to ensure cheap oil during the Trump administration. The Right deflect attention W/ Hunter, CRT, Woke 💩& 📚Trump = corruption

Liars

Racism! You're only reporting this because he's black! That's how this works right lefties? Oh wait, that's only when the black person being accused of something is a lefty.

Others told him not to report this? What are they hiding?

No pal, it's called being greedy and having an even greedier wife. You're a judge, you know what the rules are FFS.

Bullshit.

Fake news

Supreme Court Justices are not honorable people.

I assume all of his advisors are no longer living to confirm his take.

Thomas needs to go. Every minute more he stays, the SCOTUS is further tarnished. Not forgetting that Anita Hill warned us a long time ago. Unethical behavior then, unethical behavior now.

Evil, corrupt man this SC judge.

Anita Hill told you.

🙄

He did as he was told. “We believe Justice Thomas to be one of the greatest Americans of our time, and we believe it is important to make sure as many people as possible learn about him, remember him, and understand the ideals for which he stands,” Crow said.

...and if you believe Justice Thomas can I interest you in buying a couple of bags of magic sand in the desert?

If you have to ask...

This ethically odious, judicially mediocre little troll should never have been chosen for the SCOTUS.

The corruption of the Supreme Court knows no bounds, I like beer too

Not really breaking news but okay

Yet thr corruption keeps going on and he will still do it cause when you're on the Supreme Court you'll get millions

A $500,000.00 trip is personal hospitality? Right. And I’m Benjamin Franklin.

I am ignorant to the specifics of JusticeThomas67’s behavior, but remind that one must not be punished for what they did not know, but that knowledge can be available from wisdom if not from sacred text.

Time to pound sand Clarence... take the seditious spouse with you....

Had dinner with some federal government types a few years ago. I couldn’t pick up the tab because their share of the meal was over $25. Thomas knew. Or should have known.

'lAvIsH' You know what was lavish? Epstein's island

Aoc needs to sit her little fanny tyrant butt down. She's like a little side show you pay 50 cents to watch.

I feel like “advised” should be in quotes followed by a wink wink and a knudge knudge like it just fell off the truck into his knockoff Gucci handbag.

People are saying bad things about him only because he is black...BLM!!!

i am from Europe. For me, the USA is no longer a model of democracy. More of a third world country where anything is possible without punishment - you just have to belong to the elite. A Trump can do what he wants, a constitutional judge can be corrupt. The saying

translation.....you were reporting it, but the other people who hide such things, said you should hide them as well. no one would check a supreme court justice. unless, he is..........

He needs to go. Just resign.

SCOTUS can't rid itself of the corrupt and corrosive stench of Thomas and his wife.

So JusticeThomas allows others advise him about what should be his own morale compass? What crap. Do any Republicans take responsibility for their indiscretions ever? America could be such a better place without their constant corruption & immoral behavior. DEFUND the RNC

Bullshit!!!!!

Useful tool.

Hes either legally incompetent or lying. Period.

That doesn’t pass the ‘pub test’ 😐

This is unacceptable and he knows it. That is why he hid it. Impeach him.

Who among us hasn’t been gifted a $500,000 all-expense paid vacation to an exotic location every year by a billionaire GOP donor? Isn’t this what all friends do? 😐

IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT ANYONE 'ADVISED' HIM! IF A SUPREME COURT JUSTICE DOESN'T KNOW IT'S UNETHICAL, HE IS LACKING THE MENTAL CAPACITY TO BE ON THE BENCH! THIS POS NEEDS TO GO!!!!

Clarence Thomas’ lack of judgement for accepting extremely lavish “gimmes” and the obvious conflict of interest is alone the reason he needs to be removed from the Supreme Court.

Advised by whom, exactly? I want actual names.

How about stuff from Federal Society’s founder Leonard Leo BFF’s since 1989.

Advised by who? Ginny 😡

The people that gave him the trips told him that...

Of course he did.

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas: Ignorance of the Law is NO EXCUSE!!!

Why is the top justice in this country taking advice from others about corruption in order to figure the fuck out if it is appropriate or legal. That’s why he has that job is it not? To KNOW what is wrong and right. fuckthisguy

Blatant corruption within the judiciary. Shameful America.

Clarence Thomas should know that ignorance of a crime does not excuse the punishment of the crime. It's literally first year law studies.

Who advised him? He’s a justice, not a good judge of ethical behavior.

🤣🤣🤣🤣supreme justice 🤣🤣🤣and we trust on this guys decisions🤣🤣

He’s a disgrace to the court. It’s time for him to go.

By whom? Easter Bunny?

By the GOP donor

This position defies credulity. Can't be willfully blind to the law. A Supreme Court Judge knows this.

Advised by whom? It’s only words/lies until Clarence Thomas can come up with names. Wouldn’t you ask advisor’s who have names you can come up with. Maybe the Heritage Foundation?

He obviously lives in a different world. This is one of the problems in allowing dinosaurs in the the Supreme Court. People that old are out of touch.

Worst. Justice. Ever.

Criminal.

He's a liar.

Probably advised by team trump. Cold. 😐

Compromised

Advised by who? We want names.

Nothing is going to happen to him.

ImpeachClarenceThomas

kaisar wendy liong tidak kasih kuasa pengurusan kerajaan red kepada siapapun berhak harta kekuasaan red adalah kaisar wendy liong

wow. I don't which is more stunning. Thomas's unalloyed greed or the graphene thin quality of his alibi. To have lived at a time in American history when Donald J Trump became president and Clarence Thomas served on the supreme court. What luck!

Did Justice_ACB Amy Barrett advise him about gifts

Well hell out VP did the lip dance on several Winnies to get where she is. so...

Clarence Thomas is a LIAR, He KNEW

Lmao thank Jeff Bezos, I’m convinced and have zero follow up questions

Justice Thomas is full of s**t

Now this mofo does not understand ethics?

Duh.

If he has such poor judgment, he should not be on the Supreme Court.

believe people when they tell you who they are. Clarence Thomas also SAID he did not sexually harass Anita Hill!

where is honesty, decency & integrity nowdays? I know 'common sense' is dead now, but gee whiz.

Everybody in corporate America knows that you can’t accept gifts over a certain amount.

You were advised By whom? Come on Clarence you're a critical thinker, you can lie better than this.

So, why did he stop disclosing Big Bux gifts from Crow after the LA Times reported on the gifts TWENTY YEARS AGO? Clarence Thomas is a liar.

Give him a break, who amongst us doesn’t know that much about the law

Ooops i accidentally took millions of dollars in gift from a millionaire, my bad 😞

What's a lavish trip

Sure Clarence

You gotta be kidding me

Cartel Clarence.

Advised by whom, and what was the precise question presented?

The “I didn’t know I couldn’t do that” defense. Classic.

I call 🐂💩 C'mon, he's a Supreme Court Justice. If nothing else, he had to be aware of it all being highly unethical🙄

Just more blatant corruption from Thomas. Unbelievable what we let happen in this country from the people we pay with our taxes.

Fffffffing LIAR 😠

Who advised him that it was okay? His wife? Ignorance is no excuse

Lol

It is ridiculous why Justices do not have term. They are modern Royal or Emperor in democratic country?

If we learned anything about Thomas during the Anita Hill days,. I'll wager that there were working women who were part of these payments in kind.

$500K personal gifts not needing to be reported Ok, if he doesn’t think he should report this we’re gonna have to question his mental faculties to opine on larger, more consequential matters.

The Republicorruption Party, everyone.

Who told him that, Leo?

So hang on, under the old rules BRIBES were OK?

By who

Stormy Daniels was also personal hospitality.

Clarence Thomas like:

yeah.... I call bullshit

Ohhhhhhh…. Bullshit.

I like how he says he will start reporting them. Which implies he’s going to continue taking them.😞

He is on Supreme Court. Who advised him that. Doesn’t he know the whole damn law.

breaking news: clarence t is a lying, greedy, evil PoS.

Who is advising him on his other corrupt practices? Luckily he doesn’t have a job where his ability to know basic things like this doesn’t effect the lives of millions of people or anything…

A Supreme Court judge was advised that this was okay?

Lol

Sure.... Now had it been Soros on the other hand giving out these luxury get aways....🙄🤔

Rationalize is a key component of committing fraud.

Advised by exactly whom? Name names or it didn't happen.

Ok, so what? How much do he Dems report?

Ah... justice, once again seen to be bought.

What a joke. A supreme court justice claiming 'i didn't know?' Please.

😒 👎🏻

Who did he ask? His wife? Trump? Any number of Maga R senators on the take?

That he felt he should try to avoid reporting tells a lot. That he didn’t report it anyway also says a lot.

LOL!

This claim is absurd on its face. Who 'told him?' Is he so detached from ethical considerations it didn't cross his mind that this behavior was unacceptable?

Liar liar Pants on fire. Our SCJ CLARENCE THOMAS BLACK DRESS IS ON FIRE. RESIGN NOW CLARENCE THOMAS‼️

I was advised I could wander into Sharper Image and take any thing I want in the place.

Who cares what his bullsh yt excuse was? Remove him and imprison him.

Advised by whom?

Personal hospitality, my butt. As an officer of a publicly traded company, I cannot accept any gift, other than de minimis in value, from any third-party. Doing so would violate ethical principles, and I’m not making life-and-death decisions for the country. Thomas is biased.

Advised? This is U.S. Supreme Court Justice mind you.,. 🙄

If I knew a person who paid for these kind of trips and had me on his yacht regularly, I am sure WE would be 'good friends' as well. 🙄

Time to start asking 😡Who else was at BILLIONAIRE parties who influenced Thomas? 😡What was tax value of these gifts? 😡Did USSC Justice Clarence Thomas pay TAXES ON THESE GIFTS? 😡Did billionaire Harlan Crow WRITE OFF “hospitality vacations” w/Thomas as business expenses?

🤣Sure.

Why is he allowed to rule on complex matters affecting the nation when he can't even manage to master his own ethical responsibilities. And this isn't the first time he has lied, engaged in appropriate activity etc.

Is there documentation of this advisement?

Lol ok

Nah.

You honestly think he would have wanted you around if you weren’t a Supreme Court justice? Well would he?

Clarance Thomas and his wife are corrupt. He has tainted SCOTUS. Who can take the Judical Branch seriously anymore. 🤡😒🤮

Advised by Ginny

If this was a liberal justice, House GOP would have impeached within 2 hours.

Ignorance of the law is no excuse, he should know this better than anyone.

Worth following up on this issue KatrinaNation amyklobuchar as I’m still saying the judge who signed a warrant to the wrong address responded responsible for murder of Breonna Taylor and oversight of judges is needed

A SCOTUS member is asking for advice (“about the law”).. to corrupt sociopaths.. and he is following their advice? Rich!

Advise taking and law abiding are two different things that I truly hope he finds out the full extent of once articles of impeachment are drawn up.

WTF

This corrupt Justice must recuse himself from involving in all individuals in Politics and legislative cases. Justice Roberts must call in DOJ to investigate. SCOTUS .

He was advised wrong. And now he should be imprisoned and all his rulings be brought up for review.

You are a judge should you know the law

If these were private holidays and gifts, does this mean Crow claiming the cost of these trips, flights and gifts as business expenses is tax fraud?

Let me guess…he advised himself?

All GOP cronies lie and he IS a GOP cronie married to a seditionist.

GOP likes to threaten/send subpoenas. Send one to your crook on the SCOTUS. If you forgot his name ita CLARENCE THOMAS. Add dhis thieving wife as a co-conspirator

Are u effing kidding me? U think every politician doesn’t do this? Two words: Epstein Island.

And he’s right. Lay off him. You’re racist.

What's the saying that ignorance of the law/policy is not an excuse

Does anyone believe that?

He is a Supreme Court judge and needed to be advised guess that says a lot of that judicial system

He’s a WHOLE judge, Supreme Court Justice, He knew better.

How much business before SCOTUS did this close personal friend have?

Compromat.

He probably was advised by his white half. Who thinks he has same privileges as she has.

Advised by

they need to weaken the supreme court, USA is under attack to be destroyed

It’s ok tho cos white privilege.

Justice “Corrupt” Thomas lies his reichwing ass off, as expected.

Hahahahahahahaha NO

Were his close personal friends also GoP donors

No accountability for these crooks.

shouldn’t he have like, known the law? isn’t that his ENTIRE JOB?

I thought the dude preferred to hang out in Walmart parking lots or some shit.

When it comes to being wooed by right-wing billionaires, Clarence Thomas is a cheap date.

Impeach this man.

Bull$hit

nofish_nonuts If Thomas did not excuse himself from any cases brought to the court which involved his 'good friend,' then we know the man is lying.

Then which law book would he have consulted to form his opinion if ‘gifts’ of this magnitude and national influence came up to the Supreme Court? Oh right, his engraved set of the Lobbyists Britannica. 🤪

It's a public lynching. According to the left, blacks aren't supposed to be conservative or better not be.

Let me get it right. This is coming from the Supreme Court Justice whose lifetime appointment is to uphold the law. Maybe a competency exam is in order

Oh is that how we decide how to get away with breaking the law?

Something something Hilary emails

Hope he paid taxes on these gifts.

Unless he says who advised him he is lying. He does have a history of lying. If he were an honorable person he would resign. If the Congress were honorable they would impeach him and convict him.

He is now advised to resign.

If he gave no names, he is a F’ing liar!

Yeah OKAY Clarence…. SMH

Either he should be impeached for corruption or for being THAT stupid. In both cases he shouldn’t be allowed to have a seat on the highest court of the land.

|

The people who make our laws are not subject to them

And those in power will continue to tell you that they don't give one fuck about what you think.

Now do Elena Kagan.

😂

Oops, he accidently & innocently just kind of failed to report millions of dollars in gifts. No doubt, he was busy & forgetful being weighed down with serious legal issues on the scales of justice. Likely, he dealt with the stress of it all by discussing baseball w Leonard Leo.

advised by who?

They're called bribes.

😂 are we having a corrupt judge here ? 😂

So ignorance of the law is an excuse for supreme court justices

And what did Gianni Thomas do for her $130,000 salary paid by their GOP mega donor ?

🙄 best friends 🙄 billionaire donor to the GOP. Funded cases going to the Supreme Court. He should be impeached

Wow, and as a member of the Supreme Court, Justice Thomas simply accepted what he was told? Isn’t researching the law part of his job?

He might possibly have a good grasp of the law but apparently not a very good grasp of ethics and morals.

Vichy journalism, this…

Ignorance of the law is no defense. At least that’s what they tell us common folks.

Next time i go on vacation paid for by a rich donor… nevermind…

By Whom? The dirt just keeps piling up and piling up. The SCOTUS is severely unbalanced compromised. Enough is Enough! Thomas needs to be Impeached and removed from the Court and the Court needs to be expanded from Nine Justices to Thirteen.

Making up the rules as he gets caught.

Breaking news: Clarence Thomas says “If you’re a Supreme Court Justice, they just let you do it.” FixedIt

Really really really c'mon men

ImpeachClarenceThomas

Half a million dollars

Clarence Thomas advised himself that 'personal hospitality' consisting of lavish trips, resort stays, and private jet travel did not need to be reported. He then followed his own advice.

Isn't ignorance of the law considered 'not a defense'? Also, as a justice on the supremest court in the land, shouldn't he have a better handle on personal ethics, along with legalities? He won't even recuse when his wife is involved in a case he's hearing. His time is up!

Breaking News clarence thomas is full of 💩

This lame excuse by Thomas is just a deflection of guilt. He is being paid to rule on Supreme court cases that if he took gifts should have recused himself for any ruling. This is the corruption of the SCOTUS that has to stop. We already have 3 liars on the court.

1. The new policy was enacted March 14, 2023. How many trips could he have taken? 2. Trips with friends are excluded.

Who advised him? His wife?

B S......Justice Thomas needs to resign, today

Gee who told Clarence that his CORUPT wife lock them up

What, was he advised by his new $ buddy Harlan Crow? I don't buy this for a single second. Thomas is a grown man whose job is to know the law. He laughed at out country every time he enjoyed the free bribe trips.

Are we witnessing a banana republic?

Sound completely normal..... way to go to get trust from the people

*Note: Advisor was one Ginni Thomas.

B. S.

nhannahjones He’s a judge and therefore should know the law very well. He knows what he did was illegal. Republicans might be dumb enough to believe this, the rest of us know better.

JanOOKPIK Who advised him? His best friend, Ginni?

Clarence Thomas is wrong and that is a fact he *OVERLOOKED*. By choice.

Blaming bad advice is not a viable excuse. SCOTUS is supposed to be well versed in statutes and laws. They are justifiably held to the highest standard and should know to avoid anything that even appears to be an impropriety. Thomas is unworthy. He must be impeached.

Hmmm !

The appearance of , no - ACTUAL corruption - this is why Robert's Corrupt Supreme Court has ZERO moral legitimacy in the eye of the public.

Bullshit.

…Clarence Thomas on harassing women in his office.. didn’t realize that was a bad thing …just part of all the perks of the office! PTL

AOC had to pay for a dress she wore once and didn’t keep. That dress was no where near $500k He needs to resign He’s an embarrassment for Roberts

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

Who the FCK BELIEVES THIS?!?!?!

Who advised him, Ginni?

Sure you were, tell us who and we will check them out as well.

🙄

Serial hospitality, for the privileged? Serial abuse for humankind.

🤥

Lock him up

Thomas is corrupt to the core AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN

Not a very good judge, is he?

If he’s not required to report, what is the story?

It is ChiefJusticeRoberts who needs to resign. POTUS can then select somone with integrity as CJ, to counterbalance the corruption exemplified by Justice IsThataPubicHairInMyCoke & the other Justices out of touch with reality.

That’s a lie. He’s a Supreme Court justice who should know the rules and it’s not up to a GOP donor to advise him. Impeach the POS.

Ignorance of the law is not a defense. He should know that.

Shouldn’t a judge be able to read and understand laws?

Sure Jan

A Common Mistake

FAR 3.101-2 states that, as a rule, no government employee may 'solicit or accept, directly or indirectly, any gratuity, gift, favor, entertainment, loan, or anything of monetary value' from anyone who has or is seeking to obtain government business with the employee's agency

Hit job...If you want to objective you can do both sides otherwise you have no credibility...people are not dumb...America has politicized their justice system...perverse...that can't end well...

'Ignorance of the law is no excuse.'

Ignorance of the law is no defense. If Clarence Thomas wants to exercise his ignorance as a private citizen, I think we'll all be happy to look away

So like the fuck is going on here? Does a supreme court justice need a lawyer? How the fuck can this crooked judge be held accountable, and his wife NEVER got in trouble for her bullshit either.🤦

If he's unfamiliar with the law, why is he in a position to take away women's rights to their own bodies?

Liar.

The Nuremberg Defense

Amazing stuff. Public faith in the court is going to crash through 0 and enter the negatives. Deservedly so.

If it looks like a duck, and quacks, like a duck, it’s bullshit coming out of Clarence Thomas’s mouth.

A L I E USSupremeCourt SCOTUSblog

Corrupt moron

Wonder how those expenses ended up on the donors tax forms. Business expenses?

Thomas is a liar. His presence corrupts the entire court.

Personal hospitality is getting invited to a neighbor ‘s for barbecue!

Clarence thinks we are stupid… 🙄

Also they told him, he was white

I worked for a major corporation before retiring. I had to report any ‘gifts’ over $50. Lunch, flowers, nice bottle of liquor, golf outing, ballet tickets, ball games. All of it. And I did it so I never had to worry I was being bought. I was a Director.

Now do Scalia.

Corruption

Seems like everyone has their own definition of 'personal hospitality' these days. Maybe I should start taking lavish trips with GOP donors and call it 'self-care.'

Ignorance of the law never worked for me when I was arrested for breaking a law I didn't know existed

LIAR

Pretty sure he’s lying.

Yeah, right! And I’m from Mars!!

he was the only Supreme Court Justice in history that ever accepted a lavish trip

$10 his 'advisor' was Scalia...

except they weren't and he should know that.

rrriiiiigggghhhttttt🙄

I bet the IRS would disagree with him lol

“Personal hospitality” should have been the category trump filed his affair with Stormy under. He would have gotten away with it.

So, A SC Justice has such poor judgement that he is unable to identify conduct that gives the appearance of unethical behavior to any reasonable person? He is not qualified to be a judge in any Court. The standard is the appearance of...

They were still gifts

What a load. Like he’s never taken an ethics class. Sure 🙄

Clarence translated: I don’t give a shit what you think AND MOST IMPORTANTLY I am absolutely confident there is NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT. (snide smirk emoji).

Lol

No, the govt. ethics training is EXPLICITLY CLEAR that trips, lodging, flights, FOOD are considered GIFTS that must be reported! If he's senile? He's still guilty. Impeach this nasty old ass and get his wife out of the sphere of influence - a twofer.

My mom used to say 'don't do good things that look bad'. Crook Thomas should know better.

Really? Clarence doesn't understand bribery?

No one believes that bull shit story

Jim Crow Democrats can't stand for a black man to be affluent, have affluent friends, or a white wife.

What about personal responsibility the GOP preaches ?

He is a liar

He's a liar. He knows that it's shady. Cooning behavior has ever been rewarded thus. Sell out your people for material benefit & creature comforts, lapping up the compensation for being domesticated. A few trips to the beach, fine meals and wine was the value of his soul

Personal Hospitality? What a crock! You would think that being on the Supreme Court that he could come up with something better than that. Maybe like: 'Jeff Epstein's Island is closed down where else could I go?'

Lol

He was advised? Who does a Supreme Court Justice go to for advice?

He’s a Supreme Court Justice! If he can’t morally and ethically figure out what he should report he has no business being a judge. Attorneys are held to ridiculously high standards by bars why aren’t SC justices?

This behavior is not gonna stop here,he needs to step down now. Or else be unceremoniously removed by impeachment; sadly enough, he’s not the only one of the bunch that deserves removal. Enough of these money-hungry bottom feeders. We need schoolers and public servants instead.

He's either a liar or an incompetent. Either way, he's unfit to serve as SCOTUS.

joncoopertweets

Wow lack of good knowledgeable judgement from a Supreme Court Justice is not a good look and poor excuse 😱

He’s right. It’s a shame that racist are attacking him.

I'm just a plain-ol country judge and my good buddy jus wanted to show me and the missus a nice time, ain't no thing. Corrupt to the core. Roberts needs to know history will show his court to be the most corrupt in our country's history. Not that he cares.

Name who you consulted with Harlan Crow

nhannahjones Did his wife tell him that?🙄what a load of crap.

You’d think a Supreme Court judge would know that ignorance is not a defence.

jerbon57 BS.

The party of Corruption is the Gopee

By whom?

Did he report in his tax filings. Expensive gifts such as these are consider monetary benefits and must be reported. Did he report them to the IRS?

Breaking news…judge doesn’t understand the law

I have been advised that the money I am given monthly is not for “services rendered” but is actually “personal hospitality”. Thanks for tip lumpy.

Now do bidenlaptopmatters

He doesn't have the common sense to understand why it was wrong? And yet he's deciding the great issues of the day. What a world.

WaPo's racist attacks on Thomas are an outrage. One of the finest men ever to serve on the Court. You attack him falsely, based on a leftist rag's falsely predicated document. Pathetic. It is time for people to DUMP this POS rag.

supreme court justice admits he has no morals when it comes to matters of his own personal gain, tries to shift the blame onto others, says he cant be expected to have morals unless hes forced to by rules,claims he will now follow almost month-old new rule now that hes been outed

GriftersGonnaGrift

One trip a half million dollars and no need to report?

Resign.

Who gave that advice?

Corrupt lying scumbag. He knew exactly what he needed to do and chose to be unethical

BS. There is a code of ethics for the judiciary. Clearly, as the highest court in the land, these are applicable to the SC. He didn't have to ask around.

A Supreme Court Justice expects us to buy that he didn't know the law, and someone told him it was ok, so he just went for it. Uh-huh.

This shows an obvious lack of good judgment on the part of a Supreme Court justice… These people should not have lifelong terms, it only breeds unwarranted exceptionalism and clear apathy toward upholding the laws of this country. Impeach. Add term limits.

Is he hiding more info? His wife's participation in an insurrection? What else did a crooked lawyer advise him to keep quiet?

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

World's tiniest violin. 🎻 😭 Now remove him.

MISLEADING HEADLINE! CommunityNotes Gifts from close personal friends DID NOT NEED TO BE REPORTED until a rule changed a month ago. Everyone on SCOTUS knew that.

Clarence Thomas is a liar. Anita Hill told us long ago.

How come conflict of interest is such a crystal clear concept for pretty much every worker of almost any company in america, but it is confusing for a Supreme Court justice Nah, he was intentionally hiding it. ImpeachClarenceThomas

Above the law. Anita Hill tried to warn us.

thats not how that works.....

A Justice of the SCOTUS should know better and not have someone tell him accepting those trips were a conflict of interest. He and his treasonous wife are just greedy people who love to be wine and dined and receive attention from MEGA donors. Thomas knew better! Just crooked.

He and is wife are obnoxious trash.

Have you done these articles on the other RW SCOTUS judges? Alito gets huge amounts from donors, Rapey Brett too!

It is a shame to have a corrupt judge in the supreme court.

Who’s going to believe this? 🤣🤣

Sounds like high quality judgment on his part. He's a lying corrupt evil curmudgeon.

But, but, but what if that 'personal hospitality' was worth HUGE 💰 MONEY & had HUGE unethical, possibly illegal STRINGS ATTACHED, Clarence? Then what, huh? You need better advisors, dude. Maybe call a lawyer? ImpeachClarenceThomas

Hell, I guess as long as you become 'friends' with your bribe...er, 'donors,' it's all good. Good to know.

😂 sure

Who among us hasn’t been gifted a $500,000 all-expense paid vacation to an exotic location every year? Isn’t this what all friends do? 😐

When you’re a politician, and as high up as he is, you get to lie about anything. It’s a Washington thing!

Ignorance of the law is not an excuse.

Hahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahha.

“Personal hospitality” is the food/drinks/fun we’re enjoying together when you’re visiting me at home. Not foreign trips worth $$$$. Poor judgment,let’s hope no one is above the law in this case either. As a well trained law professional he’ll secure gainful employment elsewhere

That's totally disingenuous. Also a fucking lie

I call BULL 💩!!

A judge is arguing ignorance of the law? What? Excuse me while I pick up my eyeballs, because they just rolled right out of my head.

A supreme court judge could not interpret policy? Where is the Fox outrage?

Riiiigggttt....

I have always been told that ignorance of the law does not exempt you from being held responsible for breaking the law.

Uhh... I highly doubt that any high-end luxury from a person who's entire purpose is to influence politics is simply benign.

Unless it was the SCOTUS ethics committee that gave him the advise to not report, the claim is disingenuous. You immediately report it, let the committee determined if it does represent a conflict of interest and any additional steps needed to mitigate said conflict. FRAUD

Lying corrupt fark

Sorry judge...should know better!!!

Who advised him? Donald Trump?

Why is ignorance of the law not disqualifying for a Supreme Court justice?

nhgrown And Justice Thomas is lying.

Sounds suss as fuck

Sure Clarence

Hey Wapo. Why didn't y'all catch this story? 20 years.

So if my friend offers me to go with him on a trip to Mexico and he said he’ll spot then that’s bad?

Tell me you arent qualified to be a Supreme but dont tell me that you are not qualufied to be a Supreme. ... The SC is corrupt thru and thru

He’s a revered Supreme Court judge. He’s made decisions on complicated cases involving complex legal theories and he didn’t know what all those “gifts” were unethical? We can accept this but we would have to question his ability to rule on cases or he’s straight up lying.

Any SC Judge on any trips with political players is unconstitutional.

So, my take away is he thinks he is such a wonderful person and such sparkling company that, of course, these billionaires want to be his bosom friends. Such good friends, why he himself sends people on half million dollar trips on their own, with him not accompanying them.

Thomas will write the dissenting opinion on the ethics rules.

If he truly believes that nonsense, he surely is bereft of common sense! Oh, I really thought that these Republican mega millionaires were just being neighborly to my wife and me! Come on man, just admit that you screwed up hugely and that you justices need to be regulated!!!

Who. Names. Get us the names of these “advisors”

Yeah, some lady named Ginny told him that, what a clown

Where do:we sign up for personal hospitality?

BS. He knew exactly what he was receiving and that it was wrong.

So his defense is feigning ignorance?

By who?

Lavish Trips + GOP Donors = Conflict of Interest. Clearly he's compromised and needs to be removed.

Expell him why are they treated above the law without punishment?

Who is he kidding?

🙄

DefNotDorothy Sir, you are a Justice of The Supreme Court of the United States.... give me a break

This should be looked into!!!!

He knows it too! ClarenceThomasMustResign ClarenceThomasHasNoEthics neither does GinniThomas

“Personal hospitality”, quite handy words.

Well shite! If a half a million dollar trip is “personal hospitality” I shudder to think what the actual influence peddling goes for. This chud HAS DISGRACED SCOTUS since day one!

BS

It is maddening that these freaking billionaires are playing with the lives of American citizens to satisfy more ways to get more money!! End Citizens United NOW!!!!

They don't even try to hide the corruption anymore...

What an horrible couple of grifters... there sure are a lot of grifters in the GQP

Wow! Clarence Thomas’ statement translates to say that Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States decided that they were above the laws and ethics that all other Federal employees & political appointees are required to do. If true, waiting for other Justices disclosure.

'Advised' by his wife no doubt.

who 'advised' him...trump?

'I didn't know that was the law.' says a Justice Thomas. Just how well suited is Justice Thomas to sit on the Supreme Court of the United States if he doesn't have a clue about the laws of the land.

Sure… sure he was….

A supreme court 'justice' doesn't know the laws? 🙄

Lying Reich wing fascist uncle tom liar is lying AGAIN. He has absolutely no credibility and if he’s speaking, whatever he says should just be taken as a lie.

Ask these questions: Were they good friends before or after his appointment? How many of his cases were about their companies’ interests? Do your job, WAPO.

He’s Marion Berry in a robe.

These aren’t just sleepovers at a friends house. These are private jets and yachts on trips around the world! corruptsupremecourt reformsupremecourt corruptthomas

Why are the vast majority of criminal acts or ethical abuses ———- Republicans ? RepublicansAreCorrupt

I remember when former Ohio governor Bob Taft was fined for accepting gifts of golf outings and other things. I'm pretty sure that didn't total up to $500K.

DefNotDorothy Bullshit!😡

Those trips look exactly like what they were. A wealthy individual buying court decisions. This SCOTUS is corrupt.

Bro is a SC justice but doesn't know this? BS

Advised? The SC judge defends himself by he's been advised?

The SCOTUS doesn’t get informed or trained on the laws governing the reporting of gifts? Yeah, ok. I’ve got a yacht with screen doors I’d like to sell CT if he’s interested.

Advised by whom?

Whatever investigation we do on Clarence Thomas we should extend to all of the Senate and Congress as well. While we’re digging for corruption let’s find it all.

Clearly Justice Thomas is being sacrificed in order bait and trap the Dems. They are all guilty of this.

The advisor was the same 'donor'?

Impeach him already!!

This is just beyond the pale. A Supreme Court Justice must hold himself or herself to the highest standard. This is nowhere near that. I am so angry and disappointed that this is what our judiciary has become.

“This is American democracy and those of you who are familiar with it know that in America democracy is hypocrisy”. Malcolm X

One must wonder just who Thomas’s adviser was ? Could he just be lying?

In other words: Yes I was bribed, and there is nothing anyone can do about it because as long and the GOP backs me up ‘they were just being nice’

He has zero credibility, how does someone that breaks the law make the laws?

More GOP corruption. Doesn't matter where they are in positions of power, they are abusing it.

How the hell did this man who supposed to represent law, not fucking know that bribery is illegal?

What a crock of 💩! He needs to resign now.

Lol 😂 “my dog, my cat, and MY HONEST WIFE, told me it was ok 👍🏽 to accept 1/2 million USD $$ in gifts FROM A REPUBLICAN DONOR. Why not, I’m supposed to lean right and BE CROOKED”

I might buy this excuse if it was for one year. But 20 years give me a break.

Basically what we have here is a person on the highest court in the land, that has NO moral compass, which guides how one should behave and would allow him to make ethical decisions. Congress needs to step in clean this up, since he can’t or won’t!

If those trips and gifts didn’t need to be reported, NOTHING needs to be reported then.

Thomas is a fvcking LIAR. Make him give the names of the people who “advised” him and interview them.

Ignorance of the law is no excuse

Wow, Harlan Crow bought himself a whole shitton of influence in the Supreme court. Is misogyny a prerequisite to attend the all male Bohemian Grove retreats because over the years Clarence has proven he has the trait down pat

Didn’t he know the rules… the law

Of course the 'hit' is on for Thomas...anything to reshape the court...

Let's be honest, Nothing will happen. Can we just stop showing his evil, ugly ass face now? Every damn time I log in, it is a picture of his soulless eyes looking into the camera

They were.

Unlawfully accepted gifts from someone who was supposed to know laws. Unacceptable answer from this judge.

Oh that's how it works?

I call BS. So a supreme court JUSTICE doesn't no the law!!

Lay off folks! How’s he supposed to know about the law and whether things are legal or not?

He’s a Lying 🤡

If he had an ethical bone in his body, he would have reported this out of an ethic of transparency..

If you are in a position of power, rules and laws don't apply to you. You can do whatever you want and stick it to the common folk.

Oh well that’s fine then, nevermind

Get this mf outta here! 🤣

Did his wife advise him?

Bad judgement from the judge... See what I did there?

He's an obvious liar.

Who advised him? Ginni Thomas?

Suffice it to say a Supreme Court judge should know better than anyone that ignorance of the law is no excuse.

Anita Hill told everyone who he was and they should have believed her! Resign! You are as dishonest as they come! 😤

Corrupt con artists will never tell you they did anything wrong lol 🤣🤡

Oh, ok then. Carry on.

Do so miss Justice Ginsburg, perfect model of a Justice: humble, brilliant, thoughtful, compassionate. “Whatever you choose to do, leave tracks. That means don’t do it just for yourself. You will want to leave the world a little better for your having lived.” Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Resign!!!

yeah right

Does he have that in writing?

Right

is that even a legal defense?

Sure Jan

So turn it around. Let's hear from you, Republicans: In YOUR next Court case, would it be 'OK' if the Judge has taken the SAME gifts over the SAME timeframe.. From George Soros? No one wants to answer, cat got your tongue?

He should have asked a lawyer.

this mf is SO CORRUPT… the wife too, get them OUT

The Roberts Court in shambles 🤦‍♂️

Yea, there couldn’t be any “business” connection between a billionaire Texan who donates to conservative causes and candidates and a conservative SC justice could there? Or his wife who has raised funds and spent them….also on conservative causes including helping incite Jan 6.

riiiight...

Advised by who? Was it that little guy on his left shoulder?

Sounds a lot like the 'My dog chewed my homework' excuse.

So much for Clarence Thomas’ own moral compass… 😏 What a jerk! ImpeachClarenceThomas

So let me get this straight.. a yale graduate who's been on the bench since 1991.. Didn't know it was against the law. Do I have that right?

He’s a SCOTUS, shouldn’t EVERYTHING be reported for the sake of transparency? If things are later found to not be necessary to report, no harm & no foul, but to blatantly omit multi-million dollar luxury trips and gifts from political donors is super SUPER sketchy.

Liar!!

Weak and whiny and no excuse

One Million years dungeon!

Oh, this sounds like what was did on Epstein-Island - 'personal hospitality'🙄

Bye-bye Clarence Thomas BBCT

*Advised* by whom? Bernie Madoff?

Who was his advisor? Donny Tiny-hands?

Ignorance of the law is no excuse

I always love how the first instinct of the personal responsibility, rugged individualism wing of the court is to dive behind the “my friends told me to do it” defense.

So now can we please stop pretending that Supreme Court Justices are honorable people?

Montpellier21 Riiigggghhhhtt, does he really think we are that stupid?

Ignorance of the law is no excuse. Impeach him already.

Thomas should know claiming ignorance or blaming it on that he wasnt told is not an excuse We have a criminal on our Supreme Court that needs impeached

Did his advisor have a bird's nest on his head and orange skin?

Sure, Jan!

Let him say that in testimony to Congress where questions can be asked and relative laws referenced.

What's the difference

'Ignorance of the law' claim from a Supreme Court Justice. Let that one sink in..

Bullshit!

Bullshit

Ole' Uncle Thomas 👍🏾 my brother, friend, and fascist grifter.

Seems like one of the top 9 judges in the country would be able to make sure he does things like this correctly and ethically rather than rely on advice

I thought the brown envelope was personal.

Nemo censetur ignorare lege

Bull and you know it!!

if you ask for advice from your corrupt, extremist colleagues, who are all serving their cause via shady machinations, *of course* they are going to green-light this those are claiming that he is lying about this are missing the bigger point, that corruption is SOP for them

If that is what he believes after the “ rules “ on this are very clear……..how the hell did he pass the bar ? He should not be anywhere near the Supreme Court …..

So he admits it’s a “close personal friend” but hasn’t refused himself from any cases

Uh huh.

😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 says the Chief Crook....

Hahaha. Where’s I have to claim and am taxed on “personal hospitality” ScotusClarenceThomasResign

Why isn't Washington Post reporting on Justice John Roberts lavish trips to Epstein Island?

Lies!

Ha ha corruption.

As a Judge, how many times do you think Clarence Thomas ruled against somebody whose excuse was that they did not know the law? I will set the over/under at Every time.

GMAFB. He’s a damn liar. How’s he sitting on the highest court in the land and don’t know this? I hope no one is believing his BS. He’s sorry the truth got out after 30+ years of him accepting kick backs. Impeach his ass already. Damn corrupt fraud

Maybe but the optics in the eyes of the American public isn’t reassuring that he can’t be influenced by lavish hospitality.

Bullshit.

BS

Scary to think this man is a SCOTUS for life: Either he is ignorant of the law (he was “advised” on the law?), or he is corrupt as hell. Either way, he needs to be removed.

JayTuma1 Must've been an earlier Eastman memo.

The highest court in the land and you don’t know the rules? You think people are stupid or what

Uh huh

He claims to be so intelligent but will blindly do whatever is told to him? I’m not buying his snakeoil.

Bull$hit

Here we have a SCOTUS pretending not to understand what an ethics violation is. If he doesn’t understand what’s wrong with that, how can he be allowed to sit on the highest court in the land?

How can you respect Clarence the Clown when he doesn’t know the difference between right and wrong.

If Clarence Thomas private jet, private yacht, private resort annual trips for 25 years weren't necessary to report it makes you wonder what the other justices have 'not' been claiming. Sounds like an investigative story and while you're there check the spouses.

Indict Joe Biden NOW!

He really just doesn't care because there are no consequences. Still, Chief Justice Roberts should be humiliated at the constant embarassments of his Court.

Who believes that crap from Uncle Thom?

A personal sell-out as usual!

Breaking news: the longest-tenure member of the highest court in the land doesn't understand the law

Uncle Thom is a crook

He's so full of 💩

Sure he did. I wonder how many Republicans he consulted to help draft that bullshit statement. ImpeachThomas

If he didn’t think it was bad, he should have reported regardless.

Bullshit.

He’s tricky as always. The SC badly needs regulation because of people like him. The March 2014 “new” rules contain an exception for gifts “personal in nature”.

Liar.

What a load of bullshit remove him now.

Um, y'all do know he's lying, right?

BS

Reminder, Clarence Thomas is who they replaced The Great Thurgood Marshal with.

BS ImpeachClarenceThomas

How convenient and entitled of him.

Advised by who? Scalia?

Headline translation: Bezos owned WaPo running interference for a fellow billionaire and a completely corrupt and disgraceful Supreme Court judge.

His pals in the painting tell him that?

Thomas is above the law and he is the law. It’s the worst

Bye bye Clarence

Bull ImpeachClarenceThomas

Lying liar who lies.

allow me to quote the illustrious lesley stahl: “wow.. ok”

Thomas has a wealthy friend. Wow.

That’s a load of bull. There is no way he should get away with this. Supreme Court justices don’t have anyone overseeing them.They seem to make up the rules to benefit themselves- if what Thomas is saying is true. Then we must doubt the honesty of others. Or he is lying. It’s bad

He’s so corrupt

well think again

Right. If any of the liberal justices accepted such 'personal hospitality,' would it need to be reported? I'm betting it would.

Yeah, this is the reason you have CPAs experts in their field. Nobody is required to know everything.

He's lying.

Blah, blah, blah………just resign already Clarence!!! 🤥

Not supposed to accept any gratuities.

Advised by who? Is that what your rich donor said?

This man is a disgrace to the bench

He will get away with this. Justice bought and sold.
