Harlan Crow’s companies purchased a string of properties in Savannah, Georgia. The people on the other side of the deal: Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and his relatives. Soon after the sale was completed, contractors began work on tens of thousands of dollars of improvements on the two-bedroom, one-bathroom home.
Crow still owns Thomas’ mother’s home, which the now-94-year-old continued to live in through at least 2020, according to public records and social media. Two neighbors told ProPublica she still lives there. Crow did not respond to questions about whether he has charged her rent.
The disclosure form Thomas filed for that year also had a space to report the identity of the buyer in any private transaction, such as a real estate deal. That space is blank.
I read that as Crow saying he was going to make it a museum. It doesn't matter what Crow intended to do with the property Thomas still had to disclose the sale which he did not.
That said ethics for the Supreme Court seems to be mostly on the honor system so I don't know if he can be convicted, but one thing is for sure he fucked over all future Justices, because we are about to put in real rules because Republicans can't be trusted.
Justice Gorsush sold his property to a law firm with business in front of the court and never disclosed the sale
Chief Justice Roberts wife has a nice job as head hunter for lawyers placing them at firms that have business in front of the court where she made $10 million dollars. There was a time in my life where I too was a head hunter placing lawyers at firms and I know for sure I would have lost every time going up against the wife of a fucking supreme court justice. Also my comp was not as good as hers for some reason.
Finally the Senate is proposing a law that the Supreme Court has to set up an ethics review run by the Supreme Court with rules made by the Supreme Court and report any violations that they investigate and the punishment they hand out all controlled by the Supreme Court. They invited Chief Justice Roberts to come in and talk about it, and he said - yeah no we're good. Nothing to worry about here.
We (collectively) can't even seem to give these guys term limits and now all of a sudden someone is gonna pull off some kind of actual meaningful oversight instead?
not happening
Impropriety (or, the appearance of impropriety) is already the standard
One of the largest problems is the electoral college, as BSS alluded to. It is how the powers assure a favorable outcome. They have control nailed down and are not going to give it up. Our gov't is corrupt beyond hope. Only a revolution would hope to fix things, and they have us so divided, we can't agree as to what to do or how to do it. They have done a superb job. And it is only gong to get worse.
Where the hell is Diane Feinstein anyway? Does she even know she still supposedly has a job? It is not sexist to push for her to resign if she can't make it to work over prolonged periods and is afraid to travel. Most of the rest of us would be pushed out the door or HR-strangled with diminished benefits and short or long term disability papers to sign. How many workplaces even have any 90-years olds on the payroll as age discrimination runs rampant but usually starts in earnest around age 50 these days.
The corruption just keeps flowing, and just look at the justification on this one.
Harlan Crow paid something on the order of $150,000 in private school tuition for Clarence Thomas's grand-nephew, who Thomas raised "like a son." Needless to say, none of this was reported.
The best explanation Crow could come up with was this: "Harlan Crow has long been passionate about the importance of quality education and giving back to those less fortunate, especially at-risk youth." I'm not sure how the son of a Supreme Court justice is "at risk," but whatever.
And in todays news. Yes there is more news today of even more corruption but who really cares at this point. Why hasn't every Democratic Legislature not called for Thomas to resign. It doesn't matter that he won't do it. They all need to be calling for his resignation.
Poor Clarence, having to slum around in a second hand RV. He doesn't realize he got shorted.
Newell Coach is a company situated close to here on the northern edge of a small town named Miami (Mi-am-uh, after the tribal name). The building is one story and you wouldn't look at it twice when passing by, except for what sits out in the lot area. They are considered some of the world's finest RV's and they crank out $1 to $ 2 mil RV's that sell the world over.
US Supreme Court's Thomas discloses flights by private jet
WASHINGTON, Aug 31 (Reuters) - U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas took private jet flights provided by billionaire Texas businessman Harlan Crow, according to a 2022 financial disclosure report made public on Thursday.
Thomas listed trips by private jet to Dallas, Texas for a conference and to a property in the Adirondacks in upstate New York. He has faced scrutiny after revelations that he had not disclosed luxury trips paid for by the wealthy benefactor.
Very cool, Alan! I don't know an MH. or anyone at Newell, but I live about 25 minutes south of there and it's entirely possible we may have crossed paths in Miami. I go there often. If he still smokes, our ghost strain is at Fritz Firehouse. Maybe he's been there. I do have to remind myself to keep my eyes on the road when i drive by Newell, those RV's are fascinating. We are everywhere.
This is probably what is going to happen in the Trump immunity case:
Best guess: Three, maybe four votes for absolute immunity. Three liberals reject Trump outright, possibly joined by Barrett. Roberts, maybe with Barrett, writes majority rejecting absolute immunity, but creating other forms of immunity, sends case back down. Trial delayed indefinitely.
Sleepy should've added justices to the bench while he had the chance, but he was busy sleeping.
He'll get immunity for official acts (as he should), then the case will get sent back down to the lower court to figure out what all was an official act and which acts weren't.
the outcome of which will no doubt be appealed again.
