Looks like Clarence Thomas sold property to Harlan Crow and failed to disclose the transaction as required under 5 USC § 13104.

Now you can make whatever arguments regarding other gifts Thomas may have received from Crow, but property transactions have specific reporting requirements, of which Thomas appears to be in violation.


Clear criminal activity, no judge should be still sitting after breaking the law blatantly.

Was reading that Thomas' mother still lives in the home that he sold to Crow.

The most shocking part of this is that a 74 year old's mother is still alive

And apparently so sensitive to loud music that Crow bought the neighboring property so that she wouldn't have to deal with it anymore.

Pale privileged useless lefties attempting to take down a successful African-American that they hate. Some things haven’t changed since before the Civil War, sadly

Crow is the biggest pale privileged lefty of us all. He's doing reparations!

Also, great to see you post, friend.

They are more worried about digging up a filing violation to take him down than protecting the rights enshrined in the constitution. In fact his better job at the latter is why they want to take him down. Says it all really.

The 'filing violation', as I understand it, is the result of Watergate-era filing requirements requiring reporting of real estate transactions that are > $1,000. Which, the purchase of Thomas' home for $133,000 certainly supersedes and meets reporting requirements. Thomas' mother continues to live in that home and Crow subsequently paid for $40,000 in renovations and bought out the neighboring properties because Thomas' mother disliked how loud her neighbors were (Neither have commented whether Thomas' mom pays any rent either). Crow says that he did so to preserve the posterity of Thomas' legacy with hopes to turn the home into a museum/memorial site in the future. Oddly, many everyday federal employees are not allowed to accept any gifts over $20 due to concerns of images of impropriety, and yet the Supreme Court has far fewer official ethical guidelines and methods of accountability.

Now people have been going through Thomas' ruling record and have found that two groups that Crow either supported or was on the board of, American Enterprise Institute (AEI) and Center for the Community Interest (CCI), both have perfect records w/ Thomas in that he sided with their position in every case. There's no indication that any direct bribing or even discussion of the cases took place, but it makes sense why people would be concerned about the 'closeness' of the connection Thomas has to Crow even as legitimate friends. I would love a crystal ball to see a timeline in which a more liberal judge was at the center of this controversy for the same level of connection to Soros. Right-wingers would absolutely be losing their shit.
