The headline says it all:
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas Says He Didn't Have to Disclose Luxury Trips with Megadonor
Of course he didn't. "Cleared by advisors." I'll bet. There are no ethics rules for Supreme Court justices, and it showes. That's the remarkable thing. For all we can tell of the ethics rules, justices are free to accept cash payments from people having business before the court if they like. And Justice Alito was free to dine with, well, you know. . .
We are living in a new era. It's not just that the gloves are off; there is no shame, and no self control. The Constitution is waved like a religious totem, and if something isn't in it, well, cry havoc.
