Clarence Thomas IS conflicted

Not quite sure what you mean specifically here, but you'd have to change the Constitution to get him without impeachment.

If you want to impeach him, get  Congress to do it and provide evidence.

That’s not the issue.  This began as an exchange with respect to your peddling of dangerous misinformation with respect to the viability of HCQ as a treatment for COVID.  Your complaint with respect to the handling of the COVID-19 issue by a certain political administration has nothing to do with your campaign of misinformation and your repeated deflection of responsibility for your actions.  I believe MAGA calls your approach gaslighting.  Whatever the proper nomenclature, the point remains that you were an unabashed peddler of dangerous information with respect to the viability of HCQ as an effective treatment for COVID-19.

 

Sure it's the issue.  Wuhan virus was going to ravage the US no matter who was in office at the time.  I told you all that back then and I was dead right.  Except Joke was worse considering we had vaccines, treatments and knowledge of Wuhan virus that we didn't have under Trump.  And who does Joke blame?  No, not himself or his idiot VP who cast doubt on the vaccines, all because they couldn't stand to give Trump a political win prior to the election.  So spare me.

Sigh.  Nobody is suggesting dumping Thomas without impeaching and convicting.  The point is that he’s under a cloud, and that any precedent made now with his vote will be easier to disrupt later.  I’ll put it in terms MAGA might be able to comprehend (imagine this coming in a caveman voice):  stare decisis not strong if judge corrupt.

REMINDER:

 

“The latest attacks on Justice Thomas have nothing to do with ethics.

 

Instead, the attacks are about undermining the Supreme Court now that it no longer acts as a super-legislature for implementing the Left’s progressive policies.

 

Other justices have also suffered baseless attacks on their ethics and character. The Left is weaponizing financial disclosures to smear conservative justices.

 

It’s important for defenders of the Court to call this out for what it is.

 

Meanwhile, Justice Thomas and his colleagues can hopefully continue to focus on their work: issuing legal opinions that are faithful to the Constitution.”

That’s because legal opinions that are faithful to the Constitution are the Left’s worst nightmare.

the supreme court is on increasinly thinner ice with the american people to begin with. the last thing they need is a pay for play scandal with Clarence Thomas like this.

 

Republicans should be asking for his resignation. It is highly important for the court to maintain its integrity

 

Replace Supreme Court with the biden administration and I will agree wholeheartedly. What is more prevalent in the public’s eye, the Supreme Court or the president of the United States?

He's under the same cloud that he's been under since he was nominate and confirmed.

 

The cloud is that he's a conservative, constitutionalist jurist, and the left doesn't like him.

 

Use existing law and impeach him.

If not, shut up, and stop this idiotic nonsense that he is somehow corrupted, with no evidence to support such a claim.

again, if you don't like Joe Biden, vote against him next year.

 

Clarence Thomas has a lifelong position, the situations aren't comparable and since we cannot hold him accountable for anything he does, he should recognize that and hold himself accountable by resigning

 

 

Have the same damn standards for everybody. Not just wether they have a D or R in front of their name. 
Are you capable of doing that!?

I don’t dispute this.  That’s why the Thomas thing is so offensive to me.  His conduct has imperiled the standing of that institution.  I’m sure John Roberts—a good man and a good jurist—is at the end of his rope with all of the nonsense of the last couple of years.

I do have the same standards for anyone in the Supreme Court, who by the way, aren’t supposed to have a D or R next to their name.
 

None of the others on the court have egregiously abused their position like Thomas. If they have, I would want them to resign as well

How has he abused it?

Look, the issue here isn’t that there is a lot of dark money and potential influence peddling swirling around a court that lacks an enforceable ethics code.

 

The problem is that people we don’t like are pointing that out.

The "problem" to use your phrase is that the Dems don't like the Court's makeup, so slandering them is their usual game plan.

The point you miss, perhaps because you’re preoccupied with cartoons, is that this scandal will provide easy cover to dump the work of the Court decades from now.  Smart conservatives get that.  MAGA does not.

Joke's a bigger hoaxer with his "I'll shut down the virus."  Amazing he was actually worse when he had vaccines and treatments.  And you fell for it.  And as a result the country is going off the rails and Joke's got the worst approval rating in history.  Nice going.

Is this illegal to do? Do these folks make millions writing books, going on speaking engatements, etc.? Sure they do. This is done by everybody, everywhere, all the time.

 

Has this donor financially benefitted by a 5-4 decision, with Thomas the swing vote?

Solid point.  I don’t know how it escaped me for so long.  There is a strong possibility that HCQ man was hoaxed about HCQ because he’s hoaxing everyone else about being a physician.  This is a revelation.
