Clarence (meditating-on-zero) Thomas is saying: "I would like to ask the Chief Justice a question pertaining to point-of-order, I think, or something else important sounding. . . . If Justice Scalia isn't here anymore to tell me to shut up, . . . and they tell me that I can say anything I want, . . . what am I supposed to say?"

(19,360 posts)Like having Thomas channel Scalia and have the CAPTION be Scalia protesting that it's really Thomas speaking, but showing it to be otherwise. . . . Oh well, you can see why I didn't go that way. Too confusing for a little old CAPTION.

(55,745 posts)In the last six years he has accepted free items valued at $42,200, the most on the high court.
December 31, 2004|Richard A. Serrano and David G. Savage | Times Staff Writers
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has accepted tens of thousands of dollars worth of gifts since joining the high court, including $1,200 worth of tires, valuable historical items and a $5,000 personal check to help pay a relative's education expenses.
SNIP...
He also took a free trip aboard a private jet to the exclusive Bohemian Grove club in Northern California -- arranged by a wealthy Texas real estate investor who helped run an advocacy group that filed briefs with the Supreme Court.
Those and other gifts were disclosed by Thomas under a 1978 federal ethics law that requires high-ranking government officials, including the nine Supreme Court justices, to file a report each year that lists gifts, money and other items they have received.
Thomas has reported accepting much more valuable gifts than his Supreme Court colleagues over the last six years, according to their disclosure forms on file at the court.

And don't answer voting because we're working hard to prevent people from voting even before committing a crime. Oh, and buy Pepsi. The drink of 2016 supreme court schedule. It tastes great and is never drunk by people that sell out to an industry for a fast buck. I'm going to drink some right now.
