This man is a straight up whore. The fact that he hasn't been tossed off the bench is a miscarriage of justice.

The GOP would never support giving up the seat they stole by doing the right thing.

In a speech that night, he said he had never yearned to be a federal judge. “Pure and simple, I wanted to be rich,” he said.

This guy is such a piece of shit

Always has been. He was barely pretending to do his job until Scalia died.

He was known as the justice who never asked questions during any court proceedings, for about a decade. He didn't participate in court cases for a decade, other than to vote at the end.

Can't wait to hear about Kavanaugh and Barrett. Both of those appointments blew my mind.

I really want to hear about the friend ~~paying off all of Kavanaugh's debts~~ reimbursing him for baseball tickets to the tune of $200,000 from 2016-2017.

The lack of transparency and accountability is astounding.

He just likes to drive his quarter million dollar RV to Walmart parking lots and eat hotdogs

Besides the infuriating corruption, I find the image of Thomas on the open road, behind the wheel of a Winnebago, maybe in full regalia, to be oddly humorous.

Scowling all the while

a quarter of a million dollars to sit in his favorite place, a walmart parking lot. good ol Clarence.

As someone who voted for Obama (I have since made a pledge to myself to never vote for a self identified neoliberal for president) , j also find it disturbing that this same rich dude paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Obama campaign and was also awarded an ambassadorship for our country (the us). The issue here is money in politics we need to overturn citizens United and stop legal bribery in this country. But Clarence Thomas is an obvious example of scum collected and exposed from the bottom of the pond.
