Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas attended at least two donor events for the Koch network, according to a ProPublica report published Friday.
Thomas in 2018 went to a private dinner for donors at the group’s annual summit in California and was brought in to speak with the hopes that the access would encourage donations, according to the report.
Charles and David Koch over the years built an influence network that poured millions into conservative and libertarian causes. David Koch died in 2019.
Thomas did not disclose the trip to the summit on his annual financial disclosure, though ProPublica did not identify who paid for the private jet flight.
F the supreme Court
Of course he did. We need to remove the lifetime appointments to the Supreme Court as there are literally no ramifications for this shit. Fuck these asshats
Coke can Clarence should have never been installed on the court.
Guillotine.
Secret? Shit he will come out and say he proudly attended. What exactly are we doing about this? Not a peep from the Biden administration? Fuck this asshat.
Lock him up for the rest of his life.
ProPublica has been the best thing in the journalism space in decades.
Literally no one in the world is surprised by this in the slightest.
This is the best summary I could come up with:

The Supreme Court has a narrow definition of banned fundraising that only applies to events that raise more money than expenses incurred, or where guests are actually asked to contribute funds.
But Republicans have opposed the push, portraying it as an attempt to tear down the court’s conservative majority, giving the bill slim odds of passage.
