Give the poor guy a break, he's been bribed so many times it's hard to keep track of it all.

MODERATORS
To that point, is there a wiki or something for all of Justice Thomas's unethical lapses?
Clarence Sale!
All my morals and ethics absolutely MUST GO!!!
Please let “Clarence Sale” become a thing internet wide!
Lord, do I hate that man. Rules for thee, fucking peons.
Traitor filth.
No way, there's not a chance this is true. The man occupies one of the most prestigious seats of power in the nation. You really think we'd elect some sort of corrupt traitor to the position? The allegations are so petty- even if he were corrupt, do you really think he'd sell himself so fucking cheap? Come on. Next you'll be telling me he's some sort of a sex pest, too.
He's going to adjudicate their way anyway. He's getting freebies upon threat of retirement.
It’s corruption turtles all the way down
It’s so blatantly corrupt that it hardly makes news anymore.
So when is he getting fired...?
Out of a cannon...
Into the sun...?
You know what’s fucked up? He legally doesn’t have to. There are no ethics standards for justices.
As they say, it's not the first time, it's the first time he got caught.
does it matter? like, is it the fact that he has been bribed the issue, or the number of times he's been bribed? duh if he's free to do it, he's not going to do it once.
Yes, yes, yes, of course he will, and I think the new outrage is that he is literally only disclosing the stuff he gets caught on, which begs the question, exactly how deep does his corruption run - not to mention the other "justices" (ahemcoughALITOcough)
