#justicethomas — Public Fediverse posts

This week's parasha includes the famous phrase

צדק צדק תרדוף

"#Justice! Pursue justice!" (Deut. 16:20)

What does this mean in practice? Well, the preceding verse gives us a clue:

לא־תטה משפט לא תכיר פנים ולא־תקח שחד כי השחד יעור עיני חכמים ויסלף דברי צדיקם

"You shall not judge unfairly: you shall show no partiality; you shall not take bribes, for bribes blind the eyes of the discerning and upset the plea of the just." (Deut. 16:19)

To my understanding, #Christians accept the "moral commandments" (as opposed to "ritual commandments") of the #Torah. My question then is: why are so many self-proclaimed Christians—like, say, just as a totally random example, #JusticeThomas, or, another entirely random example, the current occupant of the White House—so willing to transgress these commandments?

"#Ethics experts said #ClarenceThomas’ undisclosed ties to the #Koch network could call his impartiality in the case into doubt. This sort of potential conflict is why the judiciary has rules against both political activity and fundraising, they said. 'Parties litigating in the court before #JusticeThomas don’t know the extent of Thomas’ relationship with the parties on the other side,' said James Sample, a Hofstra University law professor who studies judicial ethics. 'You have to be pretty cynical to not think that’s a problem.' "

BREAKING! Supreme Court Refuses Plea to #ProtectOakFlat

#ApacheStronghold said it will continue the fight in the courts

#WendslerNosieSr. said, "While this decision is a heavy blow, our struggle is far from over. We urge Congress to take decisive action to stop this injustice while we press forward in the courts."

By Becket Law, Censored News, May 27, 2025

WASHINGTON – "The Supreme Court today refused to protect a Western Apache sacred site, #OakFlat, from destruction by a Chinese-owned mining giant. In Apache Stronghold v. United States, a coalition of Apaches, other Native peoples, and non-Native allies will now continue to fight in court to
stop the government from transferring Oak Flat to #ResolutionCopper and turning the site into a massive mining
crater, ending Apache religious practices forever.

"#JusticeGorsuch, joined by #JusticeThomas, dissented from the Court’s refusal to hear the appeal,
saying that the Court’s 'decision to shuffle this case off our docket without a full airing is a grievous mistake—one with consequences that threaten to reverberate for generations.'

"Since time immemorial, Western Apaches and other Native peoples have gathered at Oak Flat, outside of present-day Superior, Arizona, for sacred religious ceremonies that cannot take place anywhere else."

Like an aneurism, a growing bubble in the brain where there should be no growing bubble.

A social and economic aneurism, that kills the host by clot or stroke.

Or like today, by both.

If Trump does win, I suspect that the so-called "Christian" Coalition will make sure he ends up in jail, and then their puppet, #JDVance, will bring about a #theocracy.

I’m going to make a seemingly controversial statement: Ginni Thomas is a treasure. No, not in the warm and fuzzy kind of way, but the trove type. She just keeps giving us all kinds of reasons why #SCOTUS seriously needs to be reconfigured in “so, so, so” many ways (see what I did there?). Impeach and remove Thomas and others. Expand the court. Impose term limits. Impose real consequences for violating a strict ethics code. #courts #RuleOfLaw #uspol #justicethomas https://www.salon.com/2024/09/04/ginni-thomas-privately-praised-group-opposing-reform-thank-you-so-so-so-much_partner/

Five years ago, #JusticeThomas was just arriving off the private jet paid for by #HarlanCrow in Santa Rosa for the two-week all male #BohemianGrove party…right on the heels of his trip #yachting around #Indonesia, also paid for by Crow.

If past summers are any indication, #JusticeClarenceThomas is in a summer full of travel on private jets paid for by billionaire friends–he never disclosed any of this until this year. That’s much too late, and it’s illegal.

:twitter: #DirkSchwenk

🔴 So let's get this straight. #JusticeThomas went to #russia, in secret, with #HarlanCrow. The trip included a helicopter ride to a palace in St. Petersburg. It took place in 2003. This is the first known yacht trip. Let's examine the implications. A thread:

ℹ First, a rich american with a #SCOTUS justice doesn't just show up unannounced and fly a helicopter into St. Petersburg

That sh*t requires advanced notice and clearance ⤵

#SCOTUS #SupremeCourt #AOC #impeachment

> The evidence assembled thus far plainly suggests that #Justice #Thomas has committed numerous willful violations of #federal #ethics and false-statement laws and raises significant questions about whether he and his wealthy benefactors have complied with their federal tax obligations. Presented with opportunities to resolve questions about his conduct, #JusticeThomas has maintained a suspicious silence.

IMO, half-million dollar trips to Bali & the like by Supreme Court justices & paid for by GOP megadonors need to be disclosed, or maybe they shouldn't be taken in the first place. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4nnpd7jng9o

"...now, we have never considered a dispute over a congressional #subpoena for the President's records. And, according to the parties, the #appellate #courts have addressed such a subpoena only once, when a #SenateCommittee subpoenaed President #Nixon during the #Watergate scandal. See infra , at 2032 – 2033..."

Now of course #ScareCrow aka #HarlanCrow should have better paid the #lawfirm to produce something of an #AmicusBrief on behalf of still-#JusticeThomas, but...
