Corrupt GOP POS
 
Clarence Thomas, who accepted lavish gifts from a billionaire, argued that a law prohibiting taking bribes is too vague to be fairly enforced (msn.com)

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas — who accepted lavish gifts and luxury vacations from a billionaire for years — signed off on a Supreme Court opinion Thursday arguing that a law prohibiting taking bribes is too vague to be fairly enforced. 
 In April, a ProPublica report found Thomas had accepted gifts, including lavish vacations, yacht travel, and school tuition for a child in his care, among other things, from GOP megadonor Harlan Crow over the course of years. Crow described Thomas as a friend and insisted he never sought to influence the conservative Supreme Court justice.In the wake of the ProPublica report, a group of 15 Democratic senators called on Sen. Chris Van Hollen  — the chair of a subcommittee in charge of the Supreme Court's budget — to withhold $10 million from the Supreme Court's budget until it institutes a public code of ethics.Additionally, the Senate Judiciary Committee asked Crow for a list of any gifts he's given to a Supreme Court justice or their family.

 
 

Let’s see where the hypocrisy lands here

For me … ANY elected or unelected person of power that gets caught taking bribes, kickbacks or any of that crap should be shown the door .. at the least 

But nothing will happen about this, not this or insider trading or any of that

Because most of them are in on this **** too

And we are all too busy defending our side to see how we are being **** over

And that is by design
