Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas received millions in gifts over 20 years, group says
by Dan Morrison
June 7, 2024"#SupremeCourt #JusticeClarenceThomas has accepted more than $2 million in gifts over the last 20 years, according to a new analysis, far eclipsing the value of those received by his fellow justices.
"A report released Thursday by the advocacy group #FixTheCourt said the value of 93 gifts to all of Thomas’ fellow justices between 2004 and 2023 were totaled $248,000, while Thomas alone received 103 gifts worth $2.4 million.
"In addition to that haul, Fix the Court flagged another 101 'likely gifts' to Thomas worth nearly $1.8 million stemming from free luxury travel and lodging he received from #billionaire #HarlanCrow and others."

Justice Sotomayor said it clearly: The MAGA justices are on a relentless "power grab" — rewriting the rules for their billionaire benefactors & leaving us to pay the price.
Congress: It's time Congress give #PowerBackToThePeople — fix the Court.

The #GOP... the same people rallying around a #ConvictedFelon to be their Party nominee who quotes #Hitler and promised to be #DictatorOnDayOne just b/c he slanted the #SCotUS to its current mess... would go "scorched Earth" to protect it.There's a better way: #ThinkOutsideTheBox #FixTheCourt

Ethical no man’s land: can the US supreme court be trusted to police itself?
“It’s one thing for justices to speak at law schools, but when the #Religious #Liberty #Initiative, which is filing #amicus #briefs in all sorts of #SupremeCourt cases, flies #Alito out to Rome, that’s another thing entirely,” said Gabe Roth, executive director of
#FixTheCourt, a non-partisan group which advocates for reform.But Alito’s Rome jaunt is just one of many factors that have swung an ethical spotlight over the nation’s highest court in recent months.
A series of #ethical #scandals have struck the court, the most toxic of which was the refusal of conservative justice #Clarence #Thomas to recuse himself from a case in which Donald #Trump tried to block documents relating to the 6 January 2021 insurrection at the US Capitol from reaching the congressional committee investigating the riot.
