Oh, Clarence

And we have yet more undeclared luxury junkets provided by Harlan Crow to Clarence Thomas.

Clarence, you have been a very bad boy:

Justice Clarence Thomas failed to disclose two additional trips from a billionaire patron that had not previously come to light, Senate Democrats revealed on Saturday after conducting a 20-month investigation into ethics practices at the Supreme Court.

The findings were part of a 93-page report released by Democratic staff members of the Judiciary Committee along with about 800 pages of documents. It said the two trips, both of which had been previously unknown to the public, took place in 2021 and were provided by Harlan Crow, a real estate magnate in Texas and a frequent patron of Justice Thomas’s.

One trip took place that July by private jet from Nebraska to Saranac, N.Y., where Justice Thomas stayed at Mr. Crow’s upstate retreat for five days. The other came in October, when Mr. Crow hosted Justice Thomas overnight in New York on his yacht after flying him from the District of Columbia to New Jersey for the dedication of a statue.

A special thanks to Merrick Garland, Dick Durbin, and the rest of them for normalizing corruption at the highest court in the land.

In a just world, Thomas would have been frog-marched out of his offices in handcuffs, or at least forced to resign in disgrace.
