SCOTUS

There is a small political scandal is brewing, where else, in Washington. There is a Supreme Court justice who is supposed to accept hefty financial gifts and he sees nothing wrong with it. Clarence Thomas is the justice who has a Texas billionaire friend. This friend had invited him and his wife to a very swanky, all expenses paid vacations using his private jets.

In addition to the vacations this justice also got into real estate deals with his friend where he made buckets of money. A SCOTUS justice gets paid $265,000 a year plus expenses and have lifetime jobs. Very few people in this country can claim such assurances. But this guy wanted to make more money. Well, no one can blame him for that.

But the problem is that he sees nothing wrong with this, he sees no conflict of interest when there was a case front of the court involving his friend. He was nominated to the Court in 1991 by President Bush and naturally now the democrats are asking for his head. There are loud cries for his resignation. But as far as the news show he stands strong, sees nothtouchabing wrong with his actions and shows no inclination to resign.

I really have no comment about this, just find it funny that the usual Washington witchhunt finally reached the "untouchable" Supreme Court.

Good country, America!
