Any real government would've gotten this loser out of his position already.Thomas has accepted $4M in gifts during career: Watchdog

Supreme Court justices have received nearly $5 million in gifts since the early 2000s, and one justice in particular, Justice Clarence Thomas, accounts for nearly all of it.
Data released Thursday by watchdog group Fix the Court unveils a list of gifts justices have received since January 2004. The dataset was released ahead of an expected release of the justices’ financial disclosure reports Friday.
Thomas, nominated to the high court by former President George H.W. Bush, made headlines last year after an investigation found he had taken dozens of trips paid for by separate billionaire friends.
According to the data compiled by Fix the Court, since 2004, Thomas has accepted $4,042,286, or 193 gifts. The group reported that, for Thomas, there’s an additional 126 “likely but not confirmed gifts.”
Of the nearly 200 gifts, the group said Thomas only reported 27 of the gifts on his financial disclosures.
The dataset included current and former justices dating back to 2004, tallying their gift totals, including Thomas’s, to be about $4.7 million.
“Supreme Court justices should not be accepting gifts, let alone the hundreds of freebies worth millions of dollars they’ve received over the years,” Fix the Court’s Gabe Roth said in a statement. “Public servants who make four times the median local salary, and who can make millions writing books on any topic they like, can afford to pay for their own vacations, vehicles, hunting excursions and club memberships.”
Roth continued, arguing that there is influence in who gives the justices gifts and what they are buying with their “generosity.”
“The ethics crisis at the court won’t begin to abate until justices adopt stricter gift acceptance rules,” he said.
The watchdog group acknowledged that the total gift calculations may be lower than what’s actually true. For example, the group was unable to verify a hunting lodge that Justice Antonin Scalia stayed in, and Scalia, along with Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and William Rehnquist, died in office, so the numbers “might be undercounts.”
Scalia received the second-highest total in gifts, with $210,164 from Jan. 2004 to his death in 2016.
The list of gifts comes after Democrats called for Justice Samuel Alito to recuse himself from cases related to Jan. 6 and former President Trump currently before the court in light of reports that a “Stop the Steal” flag was flown outside his house after the attack on the Capitol.
Last week, Alito rejected the calls to recuse himself in the cases.
Alito received the third-most gifts, with $170,095 from his first day on Jan. 31, 2006, to present day, the data said.

It's difficult to put into words how much I hate this Uncle Tom. This dude is the MJ/Floyd Mayweather of c00ns. GOAT status. Hall of Fame, first ballot, statue and logo of c00ns.
Whatever disagreements we have on this board there is one thing we can all agree on- this might be the worst powerful black man in power this country has ever seen. And I do not say it lightly. He would have been pointing out slave hiding locations during the underground railroad.
My father (RIP) warned me about this Uncle Tom 20+ years ago

A simply solution is give them an Amex card with a million dollar yearly limit. Take that nice vacation, hiking trip or see that opera in Italy with your own shyt.
Buy your own meals, lodging, vacation and opera and theater tickets. Expenses get independently audited monthly for compliance. Any fukk shyt on there hold a hearing on that bytch.
And they can only give speeches while in their position at schools, conventions (non partisan ones, like a legal conference) and commencements. No paid speeches while as a gotdamn Supreme Court Justice. Period.
No you cannot get paid to speak at an NRA conference.
You can write a book or biography, do documentaries or History channel shyt but there should
be a non gift policy.You're a fukkin judge being bought and sold for the world to watch and the GOP is like who gives a fukk.
You can't do this at most companies. You'd be canned quick as fukk, and your company would be in some legal hot water. This is ridiculous.

He's not letting Biden pick his replacement. He's going to die in office if there's a Democrat president.
Either Die or Dems get that supermajority and Biden add 4 more justices to the court or senate passes stricter ethics rules with some teeth that will sanction a justice for violating the rules or he’s impeached and bushed… Either way his life will be miserable from here on out
