🤑🤔 Clarence Thomas, (still) Supreme Court justice — and darling protégé of the rich & wealthy.

"ProPublica found that since he was appointed to the court in 1991, Thomas has received gifts from benefactors including at least 38 destination vacations, 34 flights by private jet or helicopter, a dozen VIP passes to sporting events including in a skybox, stays at resorts in Florida and Jamaica and a standing invitation to high-end golf club.

At least twice, the late billionaire businessman Wayne Huizenga sent his personal 737 jet to pick Thomas up and bring him to South Florida, ProPublica reported."

@TheRealBozoTClown @TonyStark It's the Separation of Powers in American democracy, that needs to be fixed.
As long as the judicial branch of power is dependent on partisan votes of the legislative branch of power (House/Senate), judicial independence is bound to be compromised.
And these days, revelations about corrupt interrelations between SCOTUS justices & partisan influencers once again disprove the naive assumption, that lifetime appointments of justices automatically guarantee judicial independence.
That hope blew up crashingly.
