  1. That appears to be the attitude of the #SupremeCourt of the #UnitedStates, which for the 2nd time in a wk did nothing to dispel the notion that it is the #billionaire-bought #lapdog of #Trump, committed to doing literally anything to elect him.

    …this morning #SCOTUS ruled — per curiam, meaning the whole court, not just the #conservative majority — that Trump can remain on the ballot in #Colorado.

  2. #Thomas also acknowledged prior mistakes & #omissions in past reports, involving #BankAccounts, a #LifeInsurancePolicy & the name of his wife’s (#GinniThomas) real estate co.

Filings from #ClarenceThomas & Samuel #Alito were made public Thurs, months later than those of their colleagues at the high court, bc the 2 justices had requested 90-day extensions.

  3. The arrangement reveals that #LeonardLeo, a longtime #FederalistSociety leader & friend of the Thomases, has functioned not only as an ideological ally of #ClarenceThomas’s but also has worked to provide financial #remuneration to his family. & it shows Leo arranging for the money to be drawn from a nonprofit that soon would have an interest before the court.

  4. In all…, the Polling Co paid Thomas’s firm, Liberty Consulting, $80k between June 2011 & June 2012, & it expected to pay $20k more before the end of 2012. The docs reviewed by The Post do not indicate the precise nature of any work Thomas did for the Judicial Education Proj or the Polling Co.

  5. Billionaire #HarlanCrow Bought Property From #ClarenceThomas. The Justice Didn’t Disclose the Deal

    The #transaction is the first known instance of #money flowing from Crow to the #SupremeCourt justice. The sale netted the #GOP #megadonor two vacant lots & the house where Thomas’ #mother was living (& still is).

  6. #SCOTUS considers massive change in #election authority

    The Supreme Court on Wednesday began debating whether #StateLegislators have the power to set #FederalVotingRules w/o oversight from state courts, in what would be a fundamental change in the way elections are conducted.
