“Influential Democratic lawmakers have called for immediate investigations and vowed to create stricter ethics rules following a ProPublica report that revealed Justice Clarence Thomas has, for decades, failed to disclose luxury trips he received from a real estate magnate and conservative megadonor.”
We call this “being on the take” and is an example of corruption that GOP doesn’t seem to notice.

@feloneouscat he's lying about this too lol. His wife's salary was paid by the same guy taking him on 500k yacht trips.
Thomas said the trips were personal not business, that is why he didn't report it.
Ahhh, so if it was business like a direct bribe, he would report it. Since it was a friendly gift of a half million and his wife's salary, it's not reported. Got it. 😉😵💫
Even I understand this part of the law.
Here is the law:

@feloneouscat
Maybe we can get you appointed to replace Thomas when he is removed from #scotus 👍
OMG no!
I would make a horrible Justice.
@AngryBlackLady would be far better as she is far more eloquent, far more knowledgeable and more importantly, in my opinion, less retired.
“Crow told ProPublica that Thomas “never asked for any of this hospitality” and that his treatment of the justice was “no different from the hospitality we have extended to our many other dear friends.”
That’s still corrupt and illegal.
These people do not understand corruption. You DO NOT give people gifts under the table. This is quid pro quo and Thomas needs to go.
A corrupt Justice should not be on the Supreme Court.
Thomas is corrupt.
