Clarence Thomas a model for an America where nothing matters
To the editor: I love Supreme Courtroom Justice Clarence Thomas for his independence. He has been having fun with lavish presents from his good friend, Harlan Crow, a billionaire Republican donor with no enterprise earlier than the court docket. He has not reported any of those presents on his monetary disclosure types, as required by regulation.
What a hero! Thomas has ignored the foundations that constrain lesser judges. He has taken the presents he desires with none regard for public notion or accountability. He has adopted the recommendation of unnamed colleagues and others who mentioned he didn’t should disclose something.
Some might say that Thomas is undermining the credibility of the Supreme Courtroom and alluring impeachment. However I say he’s a task mannequin. He’s displaying us be free from morality and transparency. He’s displaying us be loyal to our buddies and benefactors.
Thanks, Justice Thomas, on your service and your instance. You might be actually an inspiration.

To the editor: A testosterone-driven Senate dismissed sexual misconduct allegations in opposition to Thomas throughout his affirmation hearings, and he took his seat on the court docket in 1991.
Thomas’ spouse labored behind the scenes to overthrow the 2020 election to maintain Donald Trump in workplace, with no penalties.
Now, we study Thomas has been accepting lavish presents from a right-wing donor.
The Supreme Courtroom is hardly unbiased, and Thomas is something however supreme. Ethics reform within the highest court docket within the land is lengthy overdue.

To the editor: I’d really feel higher about Thomas’ “friendship” with Crow if, as an alternative of luxurious journeys on personal planes with five-star lodgings and $500 bottles of wine, he was buddies with a man who took him on a mosquito-infested fishing journey the place they shared a room in a Motel 6 and drank Bud Mild.
