#NBCNews #SupremeCourt #ClarenceThomas
The Republicans have no shame. Thomas is bought and paid for and they still defend him.
It sure pays good to be a Supreme Court Justice. Presents, gifts, tips, donations. Sweet gig!
He should have paid Anita Hill
Thank you, NRA. Thank you, Citizens United. We are now post-democracy.
Drain the Swamp. Impeach the Bootlickers. You can impeach a Justice who cannot do the job-duh!
The shame is letting Republicans get away with accusations against Hillary, Hunter and election fraud with no evidence while Democrats have provided evidence against Thomas and his wife Ginni.
They also have evidence of Mike Lee lying about promising to eliminate Medicare and Medicaid and social security. They have phone records confirming Graham’s attempt to extort votes in Georgia and ted Cruz can’t avoid all of the sedition evidence against him.
Unbelievable yet he is still sitting there on the court
The leaders in AMERICA ARE SCAMMERS…😢😮😢
Having housing paid and school fees paid sound COMMUNIST eh?
Clarabel Corrupt & Compromised Thomas.
So Republiclown Senators: this kind of bribery is acceptable behavior? Not So Supreme Court.
*Respectfully, the Supreme Court doesn’t have “a looming credibility problem”, it has already lost all credibility in the eyes of the citizens; you remember, the citizens as in “We the people”!.*
*Be real, if it were a Democrat they wouldn’t be waiting for public outcry before something was done to remove the offending party.*
Who are the republican senators think that the Supreme Court does not have to follow any ethics rules? That will tell you the senators that are not concerned about the rule of law. My guess is, it is a, I will scratch your back, you scratch “😂mien” when I have to defend myself in front of the court.
Another NBC (Nothing But Crap) guilty before he even gets to speak
According to Ecclesiastes 8:11 this is what happens when there is no accountability. “Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of men is fully set in them to do more evil.”
That’s only what we know about
Who is this Jim Crow anyway?
He’s making$300k a year,but he’s accepting free trips and sailing on Yachts by a Billionaire.What he cannot afford to buy his own way with that kind of money he earns.Shameful!👎🤮💩
They expect Americans to follow the Rules of Law,but yet Clarence Thomas doesn’t seem the need to follow them,because he thinks he’s above the Law.He’s caught,resign immediately to preserve the Laws of our Nation.👍😡
There should be an Asterisk next to all the laws he help pass. Can you say IRS.👍🤔
Instead of Cruz saying that what Clarence did was wrong, he feels that it should not be told? Wow!
More of the swamp boiling to the surface. Republicans are corrupt
Shameless
“She used 80 names, 30 addresses, 15 telephone numbers to collect food stamps, Social Security, veterans’ benefits for four nonexistent deceased veteran husbands, as well as welfare. Her tax-free cash income alone has been running $150,000 a year.”
When will we stop calling Harlan Crow Justice Thomas’ friend and just be accurate and call Crow his master?
Get rid of these corrupt judges. They have no business being in this seat
What a bunch of B.S, this bunch of GOP defending the unethical behavior of a member of the Supreme Court. Follow the Rule of Law!!
The court is organized crime and the republicans in congress are too. The outrage is comical.
The Supreme Court in Citizens United ruled that bribery is legal.
Too bad we can’t trust Chuck Todd either
Stop with the party politics and work for Americans and America 🇺🇸.
A SC judge in 1969 resigned after getting caught receiving a $20,000 check.
Yeah, read the entire Abe Fortas story, and you’ll find out that wasn’t the only reason.
Good moral values and shame has gone out of the window, how can Miss Lindsey Graham, Cacun Cruz and Co call this an attack on Conservative Court. They are not even bothering to deny the facts that the justices did what they did which is totally wrong.
Does Conservative now stand for “corruption is acceptable”.
I’m still hearing jail doors closing and someone saying Thomas, C. what is your number 🎉😊😅😂💙✌️🤔🧐…
The court is despicable. Vote of no confidence in Scotus
I can’t believe the republican response to Scotus. Oh wait, yeah I can.
Lock him up for life
I feel like all three of those senators should be investigated for the relationships with mr. Harlan Crow as well. You know as well as I do that birds of a feather flock together.
The attack against someone who wants to make sure the Supreme Court is conserving it’s constitutionality
Traditional process-
Democratic racism to a proven justice now, gee go figure try removing him to get one of their own appointed. Politics or just plain EVIL! Amazing news in the typical reverse fake news application or call it what it is.
Can he say no to anything.
Do we think Anita Hill feels some sort of vindication watching Thomas being exposed for what he really is?
20+ years of luxury vacations, private jets, purchase of homes, tuition payments to his adopted son…plus so many other things we have not heard…the price tag is in the millions….and if we check his bank accounts? Offshore accounts? Investments? Ginny’s stuff?
Clarence had been dead inside for so many years, before USSC, dead eyes, no “spirit” inside, empty. He is the darkest whitest male I’ve ever seen.
Everything he has voted on should be null and void, it is so biased. So sick this is the top part of the government creating our laws and it is so corrupt. Fire him (and all the other supreme court judges who have taken “gifts”) without pension or pay. Thomas’s sugar daddy can take of him financially for the rest of his life.
Thomas is corrupt and incompetent, on the leash of his insurrectionist wife, lifelong seeking approval and affirmation from white people. He is a sorry case. Disgusting man.
He needs to step down 😮
Lindsey Graham is very MAGA
Both Parties corrupt to the core! It’s sickening!
The founding fathers ensured privilege will always prevail! The Wealthy will always have their way!
The media needs to stop! Unless you are going to go after everyone within the government for something that isn’t even illegal! Don’t fall for it people! These people are well versed in subversion in order to manipulate the populace! Don’t give them any power over you.
I believe Anita and wait until his real predilection comes to light… the man is evil.
What’s with the all male retreats? Why no women? What could they be saying or doing that the presence of a lady would not allow?
It’s just a question.. but I wonder…. do you?
Sooooo… is something going to happen because of it? Or are we just supposed to whine and complain about the situation without ever doing anything about the situation. 😳
CHUCK TODD You are the PROBLEM‼The MEDIA & CABLE NEWS Who sit and LIE, EDIT, and Try to Hide the TRUTH from the views aka TUCKER CARLSON & then scream “Both sides”❗
NO CHUCKIE the TRUTH Is the TRUTH ‼
So has all politicians please post that
Yeah let’s look into some of these questionable transactions – with Biden, Pelosi among others
No problem.
Yeah that traditional process included justices lying to get on the court. Notice none of blowhards say anything about the actual allegations.
Many of us complain about how we are treated by arrogant government employees. We all know the root of that behavior, they know how difficult it is to remove a civil servant. The same argument can be made for lifetime appointment of judges. And there is a reason why dictators declare themselves ” president for life” and get legislation passed to justify it. No impunity for their actions.
Let’s just say these gifts seem dirty. There r too many of them. Especially the wife who was involved with the Jan 6th events to overthrow the election!!😱
this is the fourth youtube video attaking clarence Thomas and all from compromised liberal news outlet. these guys will say anything and mostly lies or taken out of context . How do we know? they all repeat in exact words the same accusation
So facts mean nothing to you, because it’s not on Fox. Got it.
😂 crooks covering for another crook
Mandatory retirement and annual competency exams for congress. Need we say more?
Hes just ” A Walmart kinda guy”.
I would like to know how the democrat politicians are millionaires when they’re getting around a hundred thousand a year. I can’t wait till they impeach themselves
Get him out of here!
Send him to jail do not past go
its sad to watch our country ruin itself. The precedent set by Democrats is ruining our country!! We don’t like rulings so we have to dig through this guys past until we find something!!
Why is it a problem to receive a small donation?
IMAGINE HOW STRONG OUR COUNTRY WOULD BE IF CONGRESS SPENT THEIR DAYS WORKING FOR THE PEOPLE WHO ELECTED THEM INSTEAD OF THE PEOPLE WHO BUY THEM.
And how much have the SEVERELY mentally ill nut job Democrat accepted in donations? And Biden’s son did business with China.
Blame RoyWoods the whistleblower smh
All of those who spoke for Clarence Thomas are corrupt and compromised as well.
Your court date is coming MSNBC, have your proof ready
Actually, it’s the case against Fox news and the cases against the orange shitgibbon that are before the courts.
Ah, spineless Graham and Cruz speaking out to defend the Republican-appointed crooked judges in the Supreme Court 😂😂😂😂😂.
Lord, seeing these retardicans defending a corrupt judge, is just unbelievable! What a disgrace!
Other people in government, politicians, military and civilians know they can’t even take food as a gift if it’s over a certain amount of money. Reporters need to look into these politicians that are saying nothing’s wrong about this. They’re most likely taking bribes too.
– The NRA purchased the Republican Party.
Thomas is just another crook. He needs to step down immediately.
HOW DARE!!! Those Democrats wage a smear campaign against Justice Thomas by telling the truth!!!
Truth is a foul word to the GOP.
We American people do not trust the government anymore especially the Republicans all the evidence is out there and they are saying that this is not true nothing happened They are going to get away with it with no repercussions
This is NOT OKAY… right, left or center.
We need to REMOVE this man NOW. Hold his wife accountable as the MOLE that she has been and still is. IMPEACHMENT NOW.
Republicans defense of behavior that is indefensible has become the norm. Have any of them actually addressed what the underlying problem is? They don’t seem to claim that the information is untrue or inaccurate. So the defense is it is wrong to bring it up as a problem. Who elects these people and why?
Republicans should be mad Clarence Thomas deflated their Hunter Biden narrative 👉🏽😡
Biden got millions from China, every decision he makes benefits China. Ignore that though. He won’t even utter a word about the real source of COVID-19.
These republican didn’t start talking like this until they started watching Trump
Corrupt down to the core.
Judge Thomas is a criminal just like the rest of them and should be dealt with as a criminal just like the rest of them
Thomas is corrupt to the bone, as is his wife. How can they be removed from their positions?
And every GQP member defends him. No surprise here.
If Thomas is dirty ,all Gop judges are dirty
Half the country is hurting and the Scotus is crooked
