Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas disclosed in a filing this week that he took three trips paid for by GOP megadonor Harlan Crow after critics dinged him for not being upfront about his friendship and travel with the billionaire real estate mogul.
Imposing a code of ethics on the justices who serve on the Supreme Court is a political idea that like much of the rest of American politics has split proponents and opponents down the middle.
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas' relationship with wealthy individuals received renewed scrutiny Thursday in a report saying he has taken more than three dozen vacations with influential people during his time on the bench.
The report highlighted the decades-long lack of transparency regarding Justice Thomas' financial relationships with Republican mega-donors and his decision-making on the nation’s highest bench.
