    If Leonard Leo, Harlan Crow, and their multibillionaire Federalist Society cohorts think that they can get away with buying conservative Supreme Court justices, they’re absolutely right. They can. And they have.

    Samuel Alito Is Wrong and Arrogant—and Must Be Reined In

    The associate justice says Congress has no authority to regulate the Supreme Court. The Constitution he allegedly reveres says otherwise. A lot.

    “Clarence Thomas’s $267,230 R.V. and the Friend Who Financed It”

    Clarence Thomas - there is a tax issue if Thomas RV loan was forgiven in whole or part and not recorded as income on his #taxes.

    And there might be #gift tax on behalf of the donor/lender. That person probably deducted it, which is also wrong if it was supposed to be a loan.

    What his benefactor, Anthony Welters, "a close friend who made his fortune in the health care industry" said was "the loan was satisfied." Don't you love that wording?

    2.The Ethics In Government Act is a law. Enforce it.

    There is something more fundamental that demands DOJ investigation - from 2000-2009 Thomas disclosed assets (all illiquid) totaling between $150-410K.

    During that period, they earned at least $5M that can be documented.

    It doesn't add up.

    Especially considering all the expenses they could have paid but didn't have to. Travel. Vacations. Tuition. And now (possibly) even his RV.

    The Ethics In Government Act is a law. There is too much here NOT to investigate. And Congress and #DoJ are not doing their job.

    Sincere question...Who is going to make the report to the IRS criminal division or FBI tip line?
