Clarence Thomas - Harlan Crow Scandal

[RedRosa]

Clarence Thomas should have never been seated on the Supreme Court. A lackluster jurist, primarily an apparatchik for the Hard Right, Thomas was also clearly revealed as an active misogynist and a low grade sexual predator during his confirmation hearings three decades ago. I mean, at this juncture, is there really anybody operating in good faith who is going to still believe this be-robed fabricator and grifter? Anita Hill had him pinned to the wall but Thomas lucked out.

So, Is Clarence Thomas at Real Risk Here? Absolutely.
This scandal is just getting started.

I don’t live in the states and am born in the era that was a child (11 to 12 years or so) in 1991, but that Anita Hill case was big news - even here… in a British Commonwealth aligned country.

His confirmation was a big set back for women in the US. The Good Old Boys in the Senate, including at the time Senate Judiciary chair Joseph Biden, all rushed in to save his bacon and to push Hill aside. The Senators decided to just seat the guy and not go through the rigamarole of having to find another candidate and confirm him or her. So what if he made a few jokes about Long John Silver and pubic hairs? Big deal. Most Senators do the same.

Thomas’ tenure has been a disaster and a disgrace. He’s such a feeble character that he became known for almost never asking a question of any counsel that argued in front of the Supremes. But be advised: Clarence Thomas is now the mascot, the undisputed leader of America’s judicial right wing, having replaced Antonin Scalia in that role. Hard to believe, isn’t it, that so many people can actually look upon this taker as anything but a taker and a faker.

Pro Publica just reported that Thomas’ Sugar Daddy Harlan Crow has also been found to had been paying thousands a month in tuition at a private prep school for a relative of Thomas who the justice raised as a son.

Of course Thomas disclosed none of this. This is world class corruption. It is also a criminal violation. Nothing will be done.

Agreed, just his confirmation hearing was a scandal.

He has the power to interpret our Constitution which makes him a threat to our country. Supreme Court Justices should be held to at least the same standards as Congressmen (which isn't all that much).

I'm unsure what will happen.
