Comments by "" (@tekannon7803) on "Bharara: Clarence Thomas' donor trips may not be illegal, but not a good look | GZERO World" video.
Does anyone not see that Mr Bharara is talking about the highest position a judge can have in America when he points out that Justice Thomas was not disclosing his receiving gifts from a billionaire political donor to the public? No one is going to tell me that one or two or more of that billionaire's personal projects got a discreet boost here and there from Justice Thomas sending a vote that favored this or that particular project every now and then. What is clear is that Justice Thomas is a perfect example of The Peter Principle. He was appointed a position that is clearly above his moral discretionary capabilities and he has shown a profound lack of understanding of what exactly The Supreme Court of The United States signifies to the American people and to viewers like us across the seas from you. And: it has to be said that all of those gifts Justice Thomas was receiving was made possible by Chief Justice Roberts being asleep at the wheel as well. Where was the Chief Justice's critical eye during all of those freebies Thomas and his unethical wife Ginny were enjoying to the max? Justice Thomas' latest gaffe makes the US Government look like its run by crooks and cronies, and if Thomas has any sense of honor---which I am sure he lacks profusely on this count as well, he will excuse himself from his duties. Many would also like to see Justice Kavanaugh who lied during his confirmation hearings walk out the door with him. Maybe then, a new sense of respectability could be restored to the iconic and mythical American Supreme Court? Great interview Ian, you bring out the best in Mr Bharara and Preet makes it crystal clear the Thomas has crossed ethical bonds that are quicksand to his career and he must hang up his noble robe and go quietly from the halls of justice...
