Billionaire Harlan Crow BOUGHT PROPERTY From JUSTICE THOMAS. The Justice DIDN'T DISCLOSE

You mean like how Trump tried to force Ukraine to open an investigation into his political opponent, and the GOP said it was perfectly fine?

 

It's a great analogy for corrupt Trump Party autocrats and those easily led.

 

Not at all. When there is smoke there is fire, would only apply if the investigation ma weren’t corrupt. Surely anyone can see how convenient it is for a person Dems hate to literally be the most investigated person alive, especially after they said they would go fishing.

 

Literally never happened. Yet Brandon actually stopped one, and bragged openly about it lol. That’s how comfortable Dems are in their corruption.

 

Total all right! Trump is now choking on the smoke......fitting. Time for him to fully embrace it.

 

.

 

I don’t see a reason that’s rational for anyone to embrace being investigated corruptly by your political opponents.

 

Well, that's because the investigations are legit and Donny is a corrupt inferno.

 

If they were legit they would have found actual crime, yet have not. And they wouldn’t have been announced before they even had reason to start.

 

They are legit and Crow will burn his lackies in due time...Clarence, a short timer.

 

If they were legit then they should have found actionable offenses by now. Yet after hundreds of millions of dollars, the best they have is an already debunked campaign finance violation.

 

And of course his attempt to pressure the SoS of Georgia to "find" him enough votes to win the state. I'll agree that Bragg's case is pretty flimsy, but if Trump gets indicted for Georgia it's going to be open and shut. And of course his stolen documents case would also be open and shut, but I doubt they'll charge him for that because then they'd have to charge Biden too.

Okay, now you respond with how you think it works in Moolk's alternate reality like you normally do.

 

That never happened, it’s democrat misinterpretation. It’s a common thing Dems do with Trump. They take what he says and interpret it in the worst possible way they can. There has been no evidence of any wrong doing on his part provided by any of the investigations you have mentioned.

 

I think the obstruction case in the documents case is starting to look pretty open and shut as well... video, witnesesses, signed documents...

 

There are ethics rules for the SCOTUS.... They just aren't enforced. Thomas apparently used to report his bennies until he stopped...

As an aside, I like your Senator a lot... I'm stunned his name isn't bandied about more for POTUS...

 

And we know the Leftists do NOT think this way.

Thomas revelation of gifts fits a broader pattern of financial nondisclosure from the Supreme Court
https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/12/poli...ondisclosure-pattern-supreme-court/index.html

Thomas isn't the only one. He's being targeted by Leftists because he's a Conservative and they're desperate to change the makeup of the court.

 

I would assume he has interests of some kind in the 8 cases he financially backed...

 

It's what I wrote it is.

 

Bingo.

 

Thomas isn't doing himself nor anyone else in the SC with this behavior, he should know better. This incident as well as the other non disclosing warrants another look into Thomas's financial affairs.

 

And do not apply to justices. Both Roberts and Rehnquist have previously stated that Congress cannot make such requirements of the Judicial branch.

Why it's unlikely ethics rules on Supreme Court gift disclosures will work

Interview highlights
On why Lubet doubts Thomas will comply with disclosure rules

Well, there's no enforcement mechanism. And in the past, the justices have adhered to them when they wanted to and not when they didn't. Justice Thomas says he'll follow the new interpretation. I don't really doubt him about that, but it's all very contingent because Chief Justice [John] Roberts and before him, Chief Justice [William] Rehnquist, have both declined to say that the rules were validly applicable to the U.S. Supreme Court.


They're the Supreme Court. They do what they want.

On who enforces the rules that the Supreme Court makes

Well, they make the rules. There's an enforcement mechanism that, you know, the judges have life tenure. Short of impeachment, there's no penalty that's applicable to the judges at any level in the federal courts. There is a system in the lower courts of reporting, and it can lead to censure or reprimand, but it does not apply to the U.S. Supreme Court.

On whether there were pre-existing financial disclosure rules for federal judges and Supreme Court justices

There were rules before March 14th regarding gift disclosure. The justices said that they would comply with them. They do file annual reports disclosing, disclosing gifts. I would say that the previous rules definitely covered at least some parts of Justice Thomas's excursions with [Harlan] Crow. The new rules are much more specific and would absolutely require reporting of this sort of travel and lavish hospitality.

On what could be the answer to conflict of interest issues with Supreme Court justices

The Supreme Court is the only court in the United States that has never adopted a written code of ethics. Every other court has a written code. The U.S. Supreme Court has strenuously resisted announcing what its own standards of ethics are. That should be remedied. They should adopt a code of conduct. At the very least, this will let the public know what the justices expect of themselves, and there will be transparency that we have not had in the past.

Nor more than any other Justice and who would do the looking? Can you even show where this one particular 25 year closest friend ever even had a case before the SCOTUS that he could have influenced?

 

Would people be okay with Soros paying for expensive vacations and home upgrades for Sotomayor?

Would you really shrug your shoulders and do nothing?

 

They will because Trump and Clarence had their thumbs on the scales of justice......patience is a virtue and justice casts a long arc that ultimately bends back. I don't get why RW hyper partisans give their serial offenders a pass while whining at the drop of a hat at anyone they are told is not on their "team". The RW has a corruption problem they like to ignore...rules for thee.

 

If he violated the law punish him as such. Still 5-4
