1ºFunny how CNN and liberal media can slam every Republican , conservative or anyone who disagree with their leftist ideology but you will never question Biden for his inability to do the job of president or question or report on the Biden family corporation and the millions of dollars that they received from foreign countries. You don't question why our borders are not secure and why millions of illegal migrants, terrorists and criminals cross freely in to America and you must pay for them. As one Democrat said today, without the migrants, who will pick our food. Democrats want free or cheap labor to do your job and get Democrat votes a few years from now. I thought FOX NEWS was a joke lately, but CNN still is anti America, anti conservative anti constitution.
2ºJohn Howell well, you’re just being silly now if you think that every time CNN mentions Clarence Thomas they should mention Sotomayor, and again, Gorsuch, who you keep leaving out. 
If instead you’re saying CNN has never mentioned Sotomayer’s book deal, then you’re just a liar.
Gorsuch and Sotomayer did not hide their book deals. If there’s a liberal justice who took large gifts, and didn’t report them, feel free to make your case based on that person. In the meantime, Thomas is the only one we know of so I don’t know why you’re taking such great offense.
At the end of the day, don’t we agree that there should be more transparency about expensive gifts to supreme court justices? Yes or no?
3ºIn my humble opinion, what will happen here is a slap on the wrist and perhaps a code of conduct will be drafted and passed by Congress. With the makeup of the House it would not be in their self interests to pass such a code. What is most concerning to me is that someone, who is a senior judge of the highest court in the land, is making life important decisions and is so immoral that his argument is "duh, I didn't know" on matters of what is right and wrong . While I would hope that he would be impeached, it will never happen.
4ºNancy Stern I just saw your comment about the judicial conference and it’s code of conduct. The guidelines that Thomas should’ve reported gifts have been in place for decades. They were tightened in March, but they were clear prior to that. I don’t think Thomas denies that they were already in place. If I’m not mistaken, he doesn’t claim that what he did was OK, he claims he was misinformed. That’s a pretty sorry and excuse and doesn’t seem to hold water, given what he did disclose.
 It seems like a pretty soft ask that the court come up with its own code of conduct, but it has been discussing the idea for four years and done nothing. 
I’m not arguing that Thomas should be kicked off the bench. I just think these revelations should be a call to action for the Supreme Court to have some clear guidelines. 
5ºI guess the question not being asked is why public schools were not good enough for "plain old Clarence" who likes to claim he would prefer to go to Walmart than take a fancy vacation.
Betting most readers and most Americans didn't attend private schools with $100,000.00 tuitions.
( in case you missed the reference, here's a regular guy Clarence quote:
"“I don’t have any problem with going to Europe, but I prefer the United States, and I prefer seeing the regular parts of the United States,” Thomas said in a recent interview for a documentary about his life, which Crow helped finance.
“I prefer the RV parks. I prefer the Walmart parking lots to the beaches and things like that. There’s something normal to me about it,” Thomas said. “I come from regular stock, and I prefer that — I prefer being around that.”
6ºAllan Driggers Not quite sure what you are actually saying is proven fact but I found a lot of accusations without factual proof. Maybe you can lead me to a reputable news source that shows these charges. This is a portion of what I've found at the moment.
U.S. House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chairman James Comer and fellow House Republicans on Wednesday used newly unearthed bank records to claim that President Joe Biden’s family members sought to improperly benefit from his vice presidency — though the preliminary findings leave several major questions unanswered.
No direct ties to Biden while he served as vice president under President Barack Obama were found by Comer and the others, though Comer said he would continue to investigate.
Bank records reviewed by the committee since Comer, of Kentucky, gained subpoena power showed Biden family members, including son Hunter Biden, received payments from foreign nationals, including a Chinese energy company, while Biden was vice president, Comer and other Republicans said Wednesday in a news conference that was heavy on implication but light on hard evidence.
7ºSo let’s get this straight Justice Thomas has never been involved in a case concerning his friend Harlan Crow but he is a bad justice and should be impeached? But it’s perfectly fine for Justice Sonia Sotomayor to actually give rulings in not one but two cases concerning the publishing house that she has a contract with and she has received upwards of $3.6 million from? Does nobody else see the hypocrisy here? We wonder why the country is so divided, it’s reporting like this that is dividing this country and it is disgusting! The media needs to be held accountable. What happened to ethics and accountability? What happen to reporters/media companies are supposed to be unbiased when reporting the news?
8ºJerry Sherwood Sotomayor had a disclosed book deal, as did Gorsuch with the same publisher, and the issue with them was whether they should’ve recuse themselves from a case. It is totally different than Thomas’ issue. If you think the system is corrupt then is it safe to assume you think the Supreme Court should have stricter ethic rules? Yes or no?
Given there is no one else who we KNOW of who has Clarence Thomas’s issue, and you think the whole system is corrupt, I fail to see why you would object to having him be used as an example of why we need stricter ethics rules which would apply to EVERYONE.
9ºMartin Braspennix sorry, Martin “no he didn’t” what?
Of course his accepting the gifts was wrong. Are you kidding me? Are you making the case that it’s fine for an individual or group of people to offer each Supreme Court justice, and for them to accept, the following gifts? Is that what you’re saying? Do you think any of these should be off the table? Because Thomas benefited from all of these scenarios. If you say that’s fine, and aren’t putting a dollar limit on it or something, this is what you end up with.
1 unlimited paid vacations
2  unlimited donations to all of the justice’s favored causes
3 free housing to all of the justice’s family
4 unlimited, non-cash gifts.
5 free tuition to any friend of the justice’s
6  paid positions for all of the Justice’s family members, via organizations funded by the donors
10ºFranklin Strum help me out with how your brain works. First, you’re saying Clarence Thomas is “guilty”, right? Second, you’re saying liberals are hypocrites for wanting accountability for Clarence Thomas, but not for the rest of the court?
The problem is your second point is not true. All of the propsals Democrats are calling for would apply to ALL of the justices.
Meanwhile, your proposal to address, what you say are offenses by several justices, is what again? You said there’s a problem, but you haven’t made a recommendation for a solution.
If for some reason you’re just being defensive with your what aboutism, rather than looking for solutions, if you were to list Clarence Thomas’s half dozen transgressions - and counting - and the next most offensive judge, what would that proportion be?
