Thomas cannot understand the
tax forms we all fill out but he
is on the Supreme Court?

He is obviously not alone. Every year millions hire firms like H&R
Block to fill out their tax forms. Are you picking on Thomas because he
is black??

"How much income did your wife make"
is hardly a complicated question. If that
is above Thomas' ability to answer he has
no reason to be on the Court.

Republicans say Thomas doesn't lie. He's just forgetful and most often is so
disoriented that he doesn't know how to fill out forms with check boxes.

Too much weed I guess.

That's right. Thomas is just another negro cheating on his taxes and lying
on forms. Nothihng to do with the fact that he's a Supreme Court Justice.

Nothing happening here. Move on.

If that isn't worth crying racism for over being caught, I don't know what
is.

Thank goodness that rightists are defending black law breakers these days
when nobody else is.

He's not "picking on" Thomas, you shitbag. He's pointing out what a sleazy
corrupt crook Thomas is.

No, he's pointing out that Thomas isn't your average American time clock punching taxpayer
but a highly intelligent, well educated SUPREME COURT JUSTICE. If he doesn't understand
"Spouse's income" on a tax form, what the FUCK is he doing on the Supreme Court? And why
isn't HE using an accountant? I doubt his tax return contains only a W2 and a mortgage
interest deduction.

From the above Wapo piece:
In 1969, Supreme Court Justice Abe Fortas resigned after it was learned that he had
accepted, then returned, $20,000 from a Wall Street financier. At the time, Chief Justice
Earl Warren felt it was important that Fortas step down to preserve the court’s
reputation.

Thomas accepted gifts from Crow worth many times that amount, even counting for inflation,
and failed to report them. And then there is all the money Ginni Thomas has received from
right-wing organizations that lobby on issues before the court — plus her outrageous
involvement in the “Stop the Steal” putsch that led to the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol
insurrection.

Thomas doesn’t believe in affirmative action or protecting voting rights, though he
benefited from both. He does believe in living the good life among millionaires and
billionaires whose interests he just happens to protect in his opinions.

My mental image of Thomas used to be of him sitting on the Supreme Court bench during
arguments, silent and scowling. Now, I see him on vacation, smoking a cigar with Crow and
his buddies, laughing as though he doesn’t have a care in the world. The joke is on us.

To add a bit of context, even THIS was counted a headline scandal and an indication that
American politics had gone to the dogs.

I wonder what the average American of 1969 would make of Clarence Thomas's graft and
payola?

He worked hard
