Gifts from billionaires to Clarence Thomas:

At least 38 destination vacations — including a previously unreported Bahamas voyage on a yacht

26 private jet flights, plus another 8 by helicopter

A dozen VIP passes to pro and college sporting events

Two stays at luxury resorts in Florida and Jamaica

One standing invitation to an uber-exclusive golf club overlooking the Atlantic coast.

And beyond this rampant level of corruption, his wife helped to coordinate a coup.

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Citing “unfortunate economic realities,” Clarence Thomas is hiking the price of Supreme Court decisions to keep up with inflation.

The jurist disclosed his new rate card in a mass e-mail sent to more than a hundred super-donors.

“I have tried to keep my prices reasonable, but, as inflation proves more stubborn than predicted, I have no choice but to adjust my rates accordingly,” he wrote.

“Sadly, the days of shredding civil rights in exchange for ten private-jet flights are over,” he added.

It remains to be seen whether the billionaires who received Thomas’s e-mail will tolerate his steeper prices or whether they will explore a budget option such as Neil Gorsuch.

Clarence Thomas threatened to quit SCOTUS unless he could get rich, so Republican politicians arranged for billionaires to start inundating him with money and gifts in exchange for his continued service. He gladly accepted the trade-off.

Let's see if our boy Whell has any issues with this kind of corruption.

""Clarence Thomas was deep in debt when he hinted to a GOP lawmaker that he'd quit if he didn't get a pay raise: report""

Clarence Thomas could face 'criminal prosecution' by not paying taxes on gifts
https://www.alternet.org/amp/clarenc...ion-2666791293

Now that would be real justice! This whole Reich-wing pay to play cabal, starting with Thomas and Leo Leonard needs to be behind bars.

Isn't there someone else in the news these days in trouble for not paying taxes?
