News --> Clarence Thomas still won't clarify whether he repaid the principal on a $260,000 loan from a rich friend that he used to buy his RV, Sens Wyden and Whitehouse say. If loan was forgiven, they argue, it should have been reported as taxable income:https://t.co/wnxbO5GAH0

Clarence Thomas was in so much debt two decades ago that he tried to get Supreme Court justice salaries raised across the board. Within months, Republican billionaires began giving him extravagant gifts. https://t.co/pMD6Z28hXh

Absolutely. For whatever reason, Nealon's impersonation of Biden was the weak link, in my opinion.bearister said:
Dana Carvey was next level in that.

It took 5 years for Clarence Thomas to amend his financial disclosure reports to include certain details of two 2019 trips—and he has yet to disclose the private jet travel or yachting excursions he had on others.

This is why he needs to be investigated. https://t.co/UHgIFo4UE6

I was naive to underestimate the scope of the corruption of the SCOTUS:
Stunning new leaks on internal maneuvering at the Supreme Court, this time focused on Chief Justice John Roberts:
"In a trio of Jan. 6-related cases last term, the court found itself more entangled in presidential politics than at any time since the 2000 election," the N.Y. Times' Jodi Kantor and Adam Liptak report in "How Roberts Shaped Trump's Supreme Court Winning Streak."
"The chief justice responded by deploying his authority to steer rulings that benefited Mr. Trump."
Why it matters: "Behind the scenes," The Times writes, "the chief justice molded three momentous Jan. 6 and election cases that helped determine the former president's fate."
Behind the scenes: "This account draws on details from the justices' private memos, documentation of the proceedings and interviews with court insiders, both conservative and liberal," The Times writes.
"Inside the chief's chambers, all four of his clerks participated in a furious rewriting effort," the story says of a case redefining presidential immunity, "Trump v. United States."
"Later, others at the court wondered if the chief justice had taken on too much. The writing of a majority opinion requires responding to suggestions and edits from other justices, addressing any dissents, and crafting an analysis to withstand scrutiny.
He had assigned himself seven majority opinions over the term, five of them blockbuster cases."
