We don’t yet know the extent of Justice Clarence Thomas’s and his wife’s financial improprieties, but the fact that he’s still on the bench shows how tolerant we’ve become of bribery.

Let me guess you supported the newest SCJ when she said she couldn't define a woman because she isn't a biologist and thought nothing was wrong with a liberal went to a SCJ house with weapons to kill him. You show your true colors and they aren't Red, White and Blue.
The far right is the only ones who want America to continue not like pedo Joe who wants us to perish in socialism
Thomas does not accept bribes. He is not a liberal democrat
The fact that the Clintons are never held responsible for their criminal money schemes or the current resident and his family in the White House haven't been held accountable shows who you are. Remember what biden said in Ukraine. If you don't fire that lawyer you won't get the one billion dollars the jokes about it saying guess what 6 hours later that SOB was fired.
In other words, Thomas' rulings protecting our bill of rights has offended your far left beliefs. I applaud Thomas and support him
In other words, Thomas can accept as many bribes as he wants as long as he supports your far right beliefs.
