The article discusses recent ethics questions surrounding Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas regarding his ties to an organization called the Horatio Alger Association of Distinguished Americans. Thomas has close relationships with many wealthy members of this organization who have given him access to luxury vacations, sporting events, and parties. Some of these members have also financed a documentary defending Thomas. Critics argue these benefits and close ties create conflicts of interest and ethics issues for a Supreme Court justice.

I doubt there will ever be a line so egregious that it’d cause conservatives to support replacing him with anyone even marginally better

Can we please impeach him and revisit all his judgements while he was being bribed?
