US Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has said he believed luxury trips taken with a billionaire Republican donor followed guidelines.
A ProPublica report earlier this week said Mr Thomas had accepted vacations from real estate mogul Harlan Crow nearly every year for two decades.
Supreme Court justices are required to file annual disclosures of gifts.
Mr Thomas said that he had been led to believe that "this sort of personal hospitality" did not apply.
According to ProPublica, the trips included several on Mr Crow's luxury yacht and private plane, as well as a week spent every summer in the Adirondack mountains.

The question had to be asked: is this judge moronically stupid or something???
Where I work, we don’t accept any gifts, complete transparancy and integrity… and, although it’s probably hard to believe, I’m not a supreme court judge, by a long fukking shot.
Surely, at some point, bells must have been ringing… yacht… sweet Jesus!

@vivify saidEven if you’re not bound by rules, ethics and integrity are supposed to be felt.
What's more: Supreme Court Justices are the only federal judges not bound by ethics rules. Bonkers.
This man is obviously corrupt. How the hell, if he doesn’t comprehend his behaviour is wrong, can be trusted to make decisions on law, ethics, and the like?

We don't want a two tiered justice system in a court of justice, do we?
@shavixmir saidI agree with that.
Do you agree that this judge is not suitable for the job?
He worked for three years as a lawyer for Monsanto, now owned by Bayer. Indict him and send his corrupt ass packing. Biden can pick another corrupt lawyer.

He obviously has zero ability to discern right from wrong.
@shavixmir saidU.S. politics is beyond the point where ethics matters. Justice Kavanaugh was proven to have lied under oath to Congress based on text messages that were revealed yet he was still confirmed by Republicans.

And I don't even need to bring up Mr. 30,000 False Statements in only four years who tried to overturn an election.

@shavixmir saidHe got the job by being corrupt. That is the whole reason he is there.
He should be removed from the job.

If you are waiting for the corporate news media to bring a lot of attention to this so he is impeached you may be waiting a long time. US corruption is much worse than you know. That is why we have a 2 tiered justice system here in the US. The fleas came with the dog.

Still doesn't change that Kavanaugh lied under oath:

@shavixmir saidIf a republican called for a black man to be removed from the job like you have democrats would accuse the republican of being racist. Then democrats would accuse the republican of working for Russia by spreading Russian disinformation to undermine our judicial branch of government.
He should be removed from the job.
He obviously has zero ability to discern right from wrong.
Are you are racist working for Russia? After all, you are agreeing with me and people say I am working for Russia. What did you do with shav? You are not conformist enough to be him. Did you kidnap shav and send him to the gulag?
edit: I forgot to say English is clearly your second language. People on this forum have said that to me. Now do you understand how paranoid democrats have been? They literally fooled themselves into thinking I don't write proper English. And the more people would post paranoid crap like that the more people would believe it and repeat it.
Can you imagine how crazy I thought all of you were? You were all being twice as paranoid and crazy as you were claiming I was.

@vivify saidFauci lied under oath too. Some people are above the law and the injustice is often defended for partisan reasons. Shouldn't they both be prosecuted for perjury?
Wow. That's disgusting and I hope she faces legal consequences.

Most Americans know what is going on, but they condone it for partisan reasons. Democrats keep defending Fauci. Republicans tend to defend Kavanaugh. I say lock them both up. I am a Marxist. Democrats and Republicans are way too far to the right for me. Screw them both.
The reason the empire like a two party system is because almost half of all people will defend wrong policies for partisan reasons alone. Three major political parties would only get a fraction of partisan defenders of wrong policy. Now you know why the corporate news media rarely mentions any minor political parties. Not as effective for defending the status quo.
They divided and conquered us.
@metal-brain saidI’m not a democrat you Russian clown I’m a life long labour voter and Biden is a Tory in my political lexicon, I still prefer democrats in the context of US politics because the republicans have morphed into a U.S version of the ‘British National Party’. Historically you couldn’t get cigarette paper between them regarding public spending and taxation for all their rhetoric
