“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.

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:

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.
@feloneouscat
Maybe we can get you appointed to replace Thomas when he is removed from #scotus 👍
