Of course a judge can. But as long as there is no danger of gifts interfering or having interfered in an actual case heard or to be heard in front of that particular judge, there is NO ETHICAL VIOLATION

Especially if they live like monks, because it’s “the hatred of the good for being good”. Quote from Ayn Rand. I’m convinced most of these people (libs and other moochers) are miserable with themselves. It’s covetousness and envy that drives them and their hatred.

Time to ‘restart’ the campaign against Clarence Thomas.

They never ever said anything about his being with a man... in an other than his wife capacity. That is the hold they have on him, a hold held by a party demonrat of freaks and pervos of a broad selection. Freaks who demand we think of them all as normal. They are not.

We don’t even know if it’s true. Pro-Publica is a Leftist organization known for lying to achieve political goals and is funded by Leftist donors.

The Emoluments Clauses of the U.S. Constitution

From what I can tell there is no mention of Supreme Court Justices within the Constitution's Emoluments Clauses.

Nor can I find anything speaking to the requirement that Supreme Court Justices must report gifts.

Now I suspect that if the Supreme Court ever ruled on cases regarding this billionaire in question that resulted favorably for the billionaire, then there is some sort of penalty for such an instance.

Are they just trying to make a case to impeach him? What are the ramifications of him being impeached & removed? Is he then denied due process?

These cucks destroying our nation via lawfare must be reined in.

“Thank God this BS is about Clarence Thomas he is the ONLY ONE there that has the balls to give them the middle finger!!”

The enemy’s end goal is to get control of the supreme court. Once they have control, it is game over.

Thomas is a solid jurist. There is no law against what he has done. I do wish he had the integrity to not accept these things. You get to be a Supreme Court Justice…. Maybe that comes with some expectations. I also agree everyone does it. Doesn’t make it right. Just wish someone in this stinking deep state government was better than that….

Well they just won the Wisconsin race that will make it very difficult or impossible for a Republican to ever win a national election in the foreseeable future, so why not go “all in” and see if they can knock off a federal supreme court justice.

I would only have a problem with this if Thomas presided over cases involving the billionaire. He did not. Hence, I don’t care. There is no legal or ethical violation. In fact, new regulations were just promulgated in March of this year clarifying that private jet trips now have to be disclosed.

Lest we forget Joe and Jill Biden spent the most recent New Year’s Eve at a wealthy donor’s villa in St. Croix:

were treated to lavish vacations, yacht cruises,

I think it's bull shit. The Thomas' idea of vacation is hopping in their mobile home and cruising the country. One of my wishes has always been to run into them at a camp ground somewhere and spend the evening talking around a camp fire......
