Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is acknowledging that he took three trips last year aboard a private plane owned by Republican megadonor Harlan Crow.
It’s the first time in years that Thomas has reported receiving hospitality from Crow. In a report made public Thursday, the 75-year-old justice said he was complying with new guidelines from the federal judiciary for reporting travel.
The filing comes amid a heightened focus on ethics at the high court that stems from a series of reports revealing that Thomas has for years received undisclosed expensive gifts, including international travel, from Crow, a wealthy businessman and benefactor of conservative causes. Crow also purchased the house in Georgia where Thomas’s mother continues to live and paid for two years of private school tuition for a child raised by Thomas and his wife, Ginni.
Whereas I didn’t feel the need to look at a wiki, because I watched it in teal time. Biden was chair and didn’t do anything other than what he was supposed to do per Senate procedure. However, in retrospect he could have tried to control Arlen Spector, an old school prosecutor, who tore Anita Hill and testimony apart. Thomas went on the stand and let go with “high tech lynching” and the dye was cast. Hillary Clinton later convinced Spector to become a Democrat, and since Republicans didn’t want to run him, he did.
Is teal time the opposite of rose tinted glasses?
