A new investigation by the New York Times has found that Clarence Thomas Justice on
the Supreme Court of the United States is somehow even more corrupt than we had already learned in
just the last few months. Because it turns out that Clarence Thomas has been receiving gifts
from Republican millionaires and billionaires for literal decades, going all the way back to
when he first got on the Supreme Court in 1991. But this investigation actually went further back
because it wasn't just in 1991 when Clarence Thomas got on the bench that he started getting
these gifts. That just happens to be the year that he was brought into the Horatio Alger
Association of Distinguished Americans. Big fancy name for a group that is effectively nothing more
than a bunch of wealthy Republicans who like to buy influence in Washington DC That's what that
group is, a group that has largely operated in the shadows, a group that most people have never even
heard of, but it's a big club and you ain't in it. And this group has a lot of money and a lot of
influence. And according to this investigation from the New York Times, those wealthy Republicans
as part of that group began showering Clarence Thomas with gifts and trips.
But as I said, it didn't just start in 1991, that's just when he joined that organization
because according to the report back in the 1980s, Clarence Thomas, while then just a federal judge,
had wealthy Republicans pay for a trip for him and his girlfriend to go to The Bahamas.
A few years later, one of his wealthy friends actually paid for his wedding to his wife Jenny
Thomas. All of this, of course, before he was even on the Supreme Court. So Clarence Thomas
has actually been corrupted by this big money Republican machine since before he even made it
onto the Supreme Court. But of course, once he got on there, once he was a part of this organization,
he started receiving even more gifts, more trips. Many of them were of course not reported because
Clarence Thomas effectively stopped reporting these kinds of things in the early two thousands
after the Los Angeles Times ran a lengthy piece talking about all the trips and gifts
that he was receiving. He decided after he was exposed, he just wasn't gonna report 'em anymore.
So what this tells us, of course, is that Clarence Thomas has been corrupted for,
what, 40 years? Almost 40 years. This man has been corrupted by big money Republican donors.
And he still sits on that court today in a lifetime appointment with virtually no
accountability. I mean, I can't even say virtually no accountability. There is no accountability
because even as these stories were coming out of Clarence Thomas, again, starting back a couple
months ago, what happened then? We had a slew of court decisions from Thomas and of course some
of the other corrupted Republicans on that bench stripping us, the American public of our rights,
stripping us of the gifts we had been given by this administration,
specifically student loan debt, forgiveness, these holy, corrupted, disgusting human beings
violating every code of ethics a human being could have stripping us of our rights.
And there is nothing we can do about it. Now, we have had Democratic lawmakers in both the
House and the Senate. They've come out, they have called out Chief Justice, uh, John Roberts saying,
come and talk to us. We want to have hearings. We wanna find out what the hell is going on at that
Supreme Court. But in the house, it's not gonna go anywhere cuz you got Republicans running the
show and in the Senate, well, we've had calls, but that's it. Th this cannot continue. The
entire Supreme Court must be dismantled. And I know in order to do that, we have to, you know,
amend the Constitution. And I know it'll never happen, okay? I'm not living in this optimist
fantasy of, of what the United States should be. But I'm telling you of what should happen
because that Supreme Court cannot be trusted. It cannot every bit, judge Jackson,
justice Jackson, she can be trusted, right? The newest judge on there, you're good to go.
Beyond that, they all gotta go. They all have to go because otherwise, we're gonna sit here.
We're gonna keep getting more stories of this level of corruption from people like Clarence
Thomas. And all we're gonna do is sit here and get more and more off, unable to do anything about it.
So if Congress is not gonna act, if the Senate is not gonna act, then vote every one of them out. I
don't care what party they're in. But if you're not going to take the necessary steps to hold
this Supreme Court accountable, then you don't deserve to have a job in Washington DC anymore.
