REUTERS/Joshua Roberts/File Photo Original article: Peter Burgess COMMENTARY Anyone that knows me will also know that while I have sone conservative views, little of my views align with those of Justice Thomas. Also, this is not a race bias, like Justice Thomas my wife is not of my race! I have no problem with an individual have strong views ... concervative or liberal ... that do not aligne with my own views, but I do not want people who bring questionable standards of right and wrong to any position in the system of law and justice that there is ... and certainly not to the Supreme Court. While all of the 'chatter' is unproven in a coutr of law ... none of this 'looks good. Peter Burgess | ||

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas reportedly has been claiming thousands of dollars annually from a shuttered real estate firm

Thomas has reported income from a firm called Ginger, Ltd., Partnership over the last two decades, but in 2006 it was shut down and replaced by a new firm, the report said. The new firm, Ginger Holdings, LLC, is similarly named, but there is no mention of it in Thomas’ records. In recent years, Thomas reportedly continued to disclose between $50,000 and $100,000 in income from the old firm annually. Even if the misstatement can be reduced to a paperwork error, it marks the latest question around the justice’s financial practices after a recent ProPublica report revealed Thomas has accepted secret luxury trips from Republican megadonor Harlan Crow for more than two decades in apparent violation of a financial disclosure law. Thomas, the 74-year-old conservative associate justice who has served on the nation’s highest court since 1991, has not reported the trips on his financial disclosures as required by law, the nonprofit newsroom reported. ProPublica later reported that Crow bought property from Thomas as well, which the justice also failed to disclose. The investigation offers more fuel for Thomas’ critics, who say his refusal to recuse himself from cases touching on issues related to his wife’s political work in conservative circles — including her involvement in schemes to overturn the 2020 election — poses a conflict of interest. The Senate Judiciary Committee’s Democratic majority on Monday called for an investigation into Thomas’ behavior. Chief Justice John Roberts should “immediately open” a probe into “how such conduct could take place” on his watch, read a letter from Chairman Dick Durbin of Illinois and the Senate Judiciary panel’s 10 other Democratic members. The committee announced in the letter that it would hold a hearing “in the coming days” on “the need to restore confidence in the Supreme Court’s ethical standards.” — CNBC’s Kevin Breuninger contributed to this report.
