Summary
A Senate report revealed that Justice Clarence Thomas accepted over $4.75 million in luxury travel and gifts from wealthy benefactors, including unreported trips in 2021.
These gifts, described as unparalleled in modern U.S. history, have intensified calls for a binding Supreme Court ethics code.
Critics argue the court’s self-regulated 2023 code lacks enforcement.
Republicans dismissed the investigation as partisan, while Democrats demand stricter oversight.

What even is the point of all those reports, if there are no consequences for anything anymore? He has been a corrupt fuck for a while, and will continue to be one, because he knows he's literally above the law...

He cant be feeling comfortable if his corruption is so publicly exposed. It. Is still worth it and necessary. His downfall may still happen.

See how unracist these billionaires are to give luxury vacations to this upstanding black individual for no reason other than their amazing friendship?

Huh, and I guess the people associated with the inquiry will be on Kash's enemies list.
