The Supreme Court has run out of excuses. Earlier this month, after ProPublica revealed that Justice Clarence Thomas frequently takes lavish vacations funded by billionaire Republican donor Harlan Crow, Thomas attempted to defend himself by claiming that this sort of “personal hospitality from close personal friends” is fine because Crow “did not have business before the court.”As it turns out, that’s not true. As Bloomberg reports, the Supreme Court — including Justice Thomas — briefly considered a $25 million copyright dispute involving a company that Crow was a partial owner of in 2005. At that point, Crow had already given several gifts to Thomas, including a $19,000 Bible that once belonged to Frederick Douglass.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/conspiracy-theories-exploring-the-unseen--5194379/support.
