Now everyone cares about ethics Until members of Congress are held responsible for insider trading, why should I give a shite if a SCOTUS has a rich friend?

If by “new” he means after Watergate, then he’s right

I'm a huge Clarence Thomas fan, but if you read the full propublica.org article , it doesn't look good for him. They obviously did a ton of research. He may be in some legit hot water.
Or he can just write a big check for it.

Those aren't fricking gifts. That's two friends hanging out. This is fricking stupid and petty.

In fact, ALL the liberal justices and almost all of the justices were taking more trips than Thomas as he was near the bottom of the list. Scalia was at the top, so this is obviously a bipartisan thing they are ALL doing.
So Thomas was disclosing some paid trips but kept some secret and unreported.

I'm no Republican, but Dems have set the rules of just not giving a frick and screaming racism. Did they not think Repubs would start doing the same thing?

Don't know. Is it swampy for people to vacation with friends?
I trust you felt the same was about Bill Clinton and Loretta Lynch catching up on Phoenix. You know, talking about the grandkids and such. Posted on 4/6/23 at 12:35 pm to Jcorye1

Fair, but it truly is a black or white issue. either things that should have disclosed were or they werent. Republicans have plenty of congressional power and muckrakers to dig into Democratic infringements.
All I was pointing out was the linked list from the NYT is essentially meaningless in the context of the OP.

Thomas is their boogeyman. Now, do the rest of those on the court, too.
People would be shocked at all of the free flights that ppl in Washington get from lobbyists and companies large amd small.

Yeah but it’s only swampy when Democrats and GOPe types do it. When MAGA bros do it, it’s not a big deal.

Hanging out with an old friend isn't a "gift" that needs to be reported.

Dems: people can’t have friends
Ok
