Sen. Whitehouse & Lawrence Talk Justice Thomas's Latest Apparent Brazen Disregard of Disclosure Laws

April 13 | Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) joins Lawrence O'Donnell on The Last Word to discuss ProPublica's latest bombshell reporting which found that Harlan Crow, a Republican megadonor, purchased several properties from Justice Clarence Thomas in 2014. Justice Thomas did not disclose the sales on his financial disclosure forms as clearly required by law.
Whitehouse urged the Judicial Conference to refer Justice Thomas to Attorney General for apparent brazen disregard for disclosure laws.
Whitehouse also reupped his call for the Chief Justice to investigate Justice Thomas’s financial relationship with the politically active republican billionaire.

Without politics, bribery, coercion, plea deals or any of this other crap involved. WTF happened to decency? What is the incentive for regular people to abide by the law when our legislators, prosecutors and judges violate the laws freely. All while they “ do the important work of deciding” whether grade school children should be able to change their gender. (Grade schoolchildren can’t decide whether or not to change their underwear, they should NOT be given a choice to permanently mutilate and sterilize their bodies) The loonies have taken over the asylum.

    Impeachment of a Supreme Court Judge works in similar fashion to the impeachment of a President. The House has to draft the articles of impeachment and vote to impeach and then the Senate would decide if he was removed or not. The problem is the House is controlled by the Republicans so they are never going to launch an impeachment vote against Thomas so the Dems hands are tied on this with out assistance from Republicans. Until Democrats have enough control in the senate and house to do it with out republicans help it's not going to happen. The only hope is that it appears he has broken federal law so the Justice Department could charge him or that Dems regain control of the House and keep the Senate in this upcoming election cycle but for the time being their hands are tied.

    Senator Whitehouse and senator Warren are trying to unravel the right wing dark money and the JCN. The federalist society is really the judicial crisis network. In 2014 Mitch McConnell blocked every judicial appt Obama nominated and bragged about how he ruined Obama's presidency. In '17 in comes Trump. And now DT and Moscow Mitch put no less than 200 judges on the courts. MM rammed ACB's nomination to the SC less than a month before the election. This is where the JCN comes in. The Severino's and especially Leonard Leo played a HUGE part in getting these right wingers in the courts. And now we have a corrupt SC who are ideologues more than anything. I'll bet there's at least one more republican like uncle Clarence.

    That's an understatement! How they ever got by without having any is beyond me.. I guess Congress thought Supremes would all be above reproach. Far from it. When Abe Fortas was a Justice he did some shady things similar to Clarence Thomas. He was asked to resign by Chief Justice Earl Warren and he did. John Roberts is way too weak of a chief justice. He is probably very conflicted because his wife was anti-abortion and anti-choice although she did step down from her duties with an organization related to that controversy.

    From what I have seen in the good reporting we get from certain newsgroups, Merrick Garland is a spineless Trump supporter and finds ways to get out of making decisions to investigate or prosecute. It kind of makes me wonder what Trump has on all of these people in power and why are they afraid to step on his toes or even speak up. Garland is not going to investigate anything he's playing around with the drug war today in the news and it is well known that if we can stop a country from warring with another country, United States can for sure war on the drug cartel and stop it. So I think Merrick Garland is biding his time until he can retire and being very low-key and don't want to offend anyone and of course he might be in fear for his life because Trump is a mafia and they are well known for taking people out.

Judges are supposed to be beyond reproach. Lyin Sammy Alito and Sneaky Clarence have eroded my respect for the US Supreme Court. I was a law student during Clarence's confirmation hearing, and that of Robert Bork. Bork was truthful during his hearing and wasn't confirmed. Clarence learned that if he lied, he would be confirmed. Lyin Sammy, Kavenaugh, Gorsich, and Barrett followed Sneaky Clarence's example.
