Just a note about Clarence Thomas, the Supreme Court Justice who has a bit of an ethics kerfuffle recently.
GOP donor denies influence over Clarence Thomas, despite lavish gifts
In an interview with the Atlantic, billionarire Harlan Crow said he didn’t see any impropriety in his actions
Now, here's the quote that begat this note:
"Thomas has acknowledged he befriended Crow after he joined the Supreme Court in 1991,"
So, he got on the Supreme Court, was known to be conservative-friendly and a Scalia acolyte, and after he was on the court, a rich conservative billionaire became his friend and started giving him gifts and great vacations? A conservative billionaire on the board of major conservative think-tanks who were (and are) frequent amicus briefs with SCOTUS cases?
That truly is convenient.
