Russia collusion investigation into Trump should never have happened

And the Supreme Court.

This ought to be good. Care to enlighten us as to specifically in what way the Supreme Court is corrupt?

I'll make it easy for you and use just two words: Clarence Thomas.

That's about the response I expected from Mr. "I have a degree."

What specifically did Justice Thomas do that constitutes corruption?

Taking large gifts from folks with business before the court. Not reporting said gifts. Then there’s the fact that the Supreme Court is nothing more than 9 unelected activist judges. That’s corruption of the highest order.

Who SPECIFICALLY did Thomas accept large gifts from in exchange for a favorable court ruling?

Ok. You win. The practice of a Justice accepting large gifts that he didn’t report from someone with deep pockets is just peachy. Fantastic. If this were one of the liberals you’d be the first to post.

While that's true, we both know there's no squeaky clean person on either side. Thomas is just more flagrant.

Let me ask this question another way since I'm not getting answers. Which ruling did he sign his name to whereby he received a large gift from one or more of the parties involved in the case?

This man is obviously not an honorable individual, and a stain on the US Supreme Court. He has compromised his integrity for his own self worth. This is a fact without even bringing his piece of shit wife into the picture. bmw knows this is true, but will insist on skating the issue.

I'm just asking for details. Nobody here seems to have any.

People here are accusing Justice Thomas of being corrupt. As a general rule, when you make an accusation, you have the burden of proof. I'm not even asking for proof. I'm simply asking what specific behavior he engaged in that constitutes corruption. And thus far, I've seen nothing more than bloviating.

EDIT - you added those links after I was replying to this. I will check them out and respond accordingly.

The Insider article reads like a hit piece. I have nothing to say in response to it.

The New Yorker article is much better written. So here's my 2 cents.

First off, no Supreme Court Justice should accept gifts from anybody under any circumstance - if for no reason other than the APPEARANCE of impropriety (I say "appearance" because the vast majority of gift receipts would probably have no bearing whatsoever on how a Supreme Court Justice rules on something). In Thomas' case, he should have declined all the gifts in question.

Now that said, I see nothing that rises to the level of corruption unless somebody can point to a specific case that one of these gift-givers was a party to. Moreover, from a legal perspective, I find it interesting that all 9 Justices, including the liberal ones, all stand behind the statement that compliance with Congressional disclosure rules is voluntary on the part of the Supreme Court. So if this ever somehow ended up as a case in front of the Supreme Court, we would certainly have a conflict of interest and possibly a Constitutional crisis.

You wouldn’t expect them to judge themselves would you? We need a law requiring disclosure.

Taking large gifts from folks with business before the court.

I'm still waiting for "who." Who specifically gave him large gifts, and what business did said person have before the court?

Where's the quid-pro-quo?

There doesn't need to be one. Learn a bit about ethics.

Learn yourself some reading comprehension skills. RT explicitly claimed there was, and that is what I am questioning him on.

Do you think a Supreme Court Justice is going to leave a super obvious trail?

They WANT him to be corrupt, therefor he IS corrupt.
I am no fan of Clarence Thomas but apparently he didn't really break any Supreme court "rules".
The fact that the Supreme Court makes their own rules is a different discussion.

I could declare anybody I want as corrupt and use that as my "evidence"
