    He’s not resigning from a position that is a lifetime appointment.

    So sick of hearing these moronic articles.

    Either get the goddamn Department of Justice or IRS involved in this and see if these trips and other gifts were illegal, or STFU. Yes, we all know he’s a corrupt piece of shit, but he’s not resigning, and it sure as hell doesn’t look like any governmental departments even want to try going after him for corruption.

      These “Moronic articles” places him into the spotlight.

      There is very few things that can be considered an “Annoyance” to rich folk, being in that spotlight is one of them.

      People like Clarence Thomas want to go on vacation and not worry about being recognized in public.

      Being in the spotlight means they have to hire more security, it means background checks, it means more people in your private life, it means always looking over your shoulder because the “media” is everyone with a smart phone nowadays.

      So while I would love to see less topics on Clarence Thomas that doesn’t involve a jail cell. The attention on his shadiness, is the 2nd best for now.

      Unfortunately, you are not the target audience for this article.

      Most Americans are not informed at all, and no matter how stupid it may seem, they need the most watered down solution shoved in their face repeatedly just so they recognize the problem in the first place

      Based on how often he and Alito are crying out about his unfair it is that they’re being scrutinized for corruption, I think this is really bugging them.

        Believe me, I hope to hell you’re right, but when it comes down to it, it seems like wishful thinking from the Internet.
