If you’re having trouble keeping track of the latest judicial ethics developments, you’re not alone! Thomas took undisclosed vacations and gifts from a billionaire with business before the court, then we found out that Harlan Crow was Clarence’s mom’s rent-free landlord, and now we learn that Crow paid private school tuition for Thomas. Throughout it all, Thomas offered a series of piss-poor excuses (that were nonetheless better than anything his own clerks could muster) while John Roberts played interference by lying about checks and balances. That earned him a stupid detour where folks complained about his wife’s job. Then conservative outlets tried to shift the focus to Sonia Sotomayor’s failure to recuse in cases involving her publisher’s parent company… quickly followed by the revelation that Neil Gorsuch did the same. Speaking of… Gorsuch also failed to disclose that the head of Greenberg Traurig bought a house off of him.
Now Leonard Leo and the Federalist Society apparently got Kellyanne Conway to covertly funnel funds to Ginni Thomas?!? This is becoming right-wing ethical lapse Bingo. No one can stay on top of it all…
