Supreme Court justices make money on speaking engagements and book deals, among other things. But Clarence Thomas is different – the man is clearly on the take. From The Hill:

ProPublica first reported on the trip to Indonesia, writing that Thomas and his wife, Ginni, vacationed with the Crows for “nine days of island-hopping in a volcanic archipelago on a superyacht staffed by a coterie of attendants and a private chef.” The cost of the trip would have exceeded $500,000 for the Thomases, according to ProPublica, but the bill was covered by Crow.

Half a million dollars. Does anyone think this is not the kind of money that will influence our nation’s laws in favor of the person giving the bribe? And who is Harlan Crow?

Crow is a member of the founding committee of the Club for Growth and has served on the board of the American Enterprise Institute since 1996.^[10][11][12] He has donated almost $5 million to Republican campaigns and conservative groups.

My verdict: This is corruption and bribery, pure and simple. Congress can impeach a Supreme Court justice and should do this now. Congress can also amend the U.S. Constitution and it should do that too to outlaw bribery of politicians and judges in this country once and for all.
