Clarence Thomas is a disgrace. My opinion of this man could not get any lower than it already is. It disgusts me that he's openly corrupt and not a god damn thing is being done to impeach and remove him from the Supreme Court.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

If something tragic were to befall Justice Thomas, I would read his obituary with great enthusiasm.
5 out of 9 are openly corrupt, see my recent posts about it with articles. He's just the one the media focuses on for some reason.
Chief Justice, Supreme Court
$298,500
Associate Justices, Supreme Court
$285,400
He was bitching about 300k a year? Ffs...
Oh wait we need the salary back in 2000. From the article
At the time of his conversation with Stearns in 2000, Thomas made $173,600 annually
*Which is apparently $309,547 adjusted for inflation.
How tf do you go into debt making almost 200k a year? Maybe he's not that great of a judge on how to spend...
How tf do you go into debt making almost 200k a year and taking bribes from whoever will pay you?
Maybe he’s not that great of a judge
DING DING DING DING!
By living like he makes 600k
Suppose he’s not in it for the career or selfless civil service in support of justice.
Clearly he just wants to get paid.
"I will quit if I don't start receiving more bribes."
how the fuck is he still there? this is such a bullshit system
how the fuck is he still there?
Because republicans wouldn't know ethics if it walked up and grabbed them by the crotch. All they care about is implementing their christo-fascist agenda, and ol' Uncle Clarence is more than happy to sell every poor minority to help them do it for a pretty penny.
This is what liberals pretend to not understand.
Thomas is perfectly ethical in the eyes of conservatives. He protects his donors and fucks over the nation.
These subhumans will not stop until the Fourth Reich is established.
Good fucking luck voting them out, that has totally worked even once in the entire history of oppressed peoples struggling against fascism.
I am really, really not looking forward to the watershed moment when we have to do something more than vote. It's going to be extremely shitty.
"The supreme court is able to police itself..."
Pfff, give me a break. They are in desperate need of oversight and here we are...thumbs up our collective asses as usual.
Good thing we have so many 2A patriots in this country to sort this out and defend the USA from tyranny or are they too busy harassing librarians… as alpha males do.
be something if a SC Justice ended up in prison
He wanted a raise and threatened to leave. Saved you a click.
I wish he had.
I guess we have to look at all the Supreme Court decisions since he took the position.
