Democrat Dick Durbin announces failure of supreme court justice to disclose travel paid for by billionaire benefactor
The US supreme court justice Clarence Thomas took at least three additional trips funded by the billionaire benefactor Harlan Crow that the conservative justice failed to disclose, the chair of the Senate judiciary committee said on Thursday.
Crow, a Texas businessman and Republican donor, disclosed details about the justice’s travel between 2017 and 2021 in response to a judiciary committee vote last November to authorize subpoenas to Crow and another influential conservative, according to the committee chair, Senator Dick Durbin, a Democrat representing Illinois.
“The Senate judiciary committee’s investigation into the supreme court’s ethical crisis is producing new information – like what we’ve revealed [on Thursday] – and makes it crystal clear that the highest court needs an enforceable code of conduct, because its members continue to choose not to meet the moment,” Durbin said.
A supreme court spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment, nor did a lawyer for Crow.
I hope he washes his bong water and dries up that thing before driving with it: https://lemmy.world/post/16495434
I mean, stealing the presidency, that’s a good 2 or 3 weeks of house arrest with a GPS bracelet, but bong, dude, that’s 30 years in the slammer. So I think a little corruption every now and then, it doesn’t hurt anyone. Specially not medically impared fetuses or their moms!.. because you probably don’t care when you’re a fetus, or have any other brain-like activity when there’s no brain. And Mom won’t care much after sleeping at 1200C a few days later. Sinicism is best served 🔥 🥵 hot. Thanks supremes! Hopefully the supremes make it easier on us and they abolish the electoral college. Instead they should just pick whoever they like as president.
