Was RGB raising a disadvantaged kid that wasn't her own? Do you know what is and what isn't required to be disclosed. And has Clarence ever sat on a Crow case like Sotomayor did?

Yes.

Clarence Thomas’s Billionaire Friend Did Have Business Before SCOTUS

And AGAIN, any SC Justice can disclose what some may think is conflict and then refuse to recuse, as the Justice does not see it as conflict.

That is fine and you can think the Justice was wrong and i can think the Justice was right and we can disagree, and that is fine.

But the issue is that the Justice MUST disclose so that everyone, including the litigants is aware of the POTENTIAL conflict and how the Justice has ruled on it.

Sotomayor did it the absolute proper way and if you agree with her choice fine. If i disagree fine. That is where it ends.

Hiding it. NOt disclosing it is the issue.

A net worth, ranging between $2.5 and 8 million, most of it in property and pension, is not filthy rich and is not even remotely unusual for someone who has spent 45 years working as a US senator and vice president.

Yup for a duel income couple and JOe bringing in a solid salary that new worth, even on the high end range is pretty modest if for 50 years of work (lawyer and then Politics), if he and Jill applied any discipline at all. You can build that type of home equity fairly easy if you do not get unlucky in your purchases.


If anything I would say it suggests Joe did not take advantage of all the insider trading and other 'legal' (but disgusting) ways Politicians can make huge money.

Clarence Thomas — who let a GOP megadonor foot bills for him for years — said being a Supreme Court justice 'is not worth doing for what they pay':whoa:

Apparently, Thomas is a blight on the supreme court?!!

Clarence Thomas's financial dealings have come under scrutiny following a series of reports.

In a 2001 speech, Thomas said serving on the Supreme Court wasn't worth it for the money.

A group of Democratic lawmakers wants to withhold funding from the court until it adopts a code of ethics.

[FONT=&]Justice Clarence Thomas — who has accepted lavish vacations and other financial benefits from GOP megadonor Harlan Crow for years — said in a speech in 2001 that serving on the Supreme Court wasn't worth it for what it paid.

[FONT=&]"The job is not worth doing for what they pay," Thomas said during a speech in 2001, The New York Post reported at the time. "The job is not worth doing for the grief. But it is worth doing for the principle."

He's a blight on "the principle" he says he esteems.

No, it does not. Is your logic that weak? You assume all the leftys read it. Not knowing if a story is true or not, often results in no comment. You saying it is, has no weight.

are you saying that you have no idea AOC talked about needing a raise, posted several times on this forum and in several media outlets?????
 
Bottom line: our resident right wing wonks would scream bloody murder if any Non-conservative SCJ had half of the crap Thomas has going on with Crow. But since they don't have that, it's the usual "what-about"-isms with their usual targets (i.e., AOC).

Sad.

You did change what posted didn't you.

16. Quote Box Altering:

One can alter a quote box by removing some of a wall of text to expose the specific part you are responding to, or splitting it apart so you can respond to each item one at a time. However, altering the words posted and changing the meaning of what they said for whatever reason (a joke for instance) is not allowed unless you change the "quoted by" portion of the quote to make it clear that the original poster did not post what you are "making" them say. We will begin by deleting these posts, and if it continues we will get into banning. I will update this rule with changes until it settles in.

Example:

A bad "quote" that we would delete:

you lie. especially about the 2nd Amendment.......but that's what most of you establishment followers do. you lie to promote your unconstitutional agenda. That's no delusion. should you care what I think? smart objective people would, but you're not either of those, so continue believing your gaslighting leaders.

Nope. I give it to you straight. You let your love of guns go along with a terrible and dangerous misinterpretation of the 2nd. If you were honest, you would read the whole thing. Then get someone to explain how English works. Smart objective? That is certainly not you.

what you seem to be unable to understand is that some of us don't have a love for guns, but a love for the Constitution and the freedom it's supposed to protect. you ignore the words of the founders so you can settle on an incorrect interpretation of the 2nd Amendment that makes you feel safer instead of embracing the spirit of liberty that was bequeathed to you by those founders. The founders gave you everything you need to know in order to understand what they wrote, what it means, and why.

you don't trust Americans. I get it. but your fear in trusting others doesn't get to deny the rights afforded to us who are not afraid.
