The Supreme Court is not legally bound by the code of conduct for federal judges, though Justices Breyer and Anthony M. Kennedy have testified to Congress that members of the Supreme Court voluntarily follow the code which explicitly prohibits justices from directly soliciting charitable donations.
Clarence Thomas doesn't seem to agree nor does he seem to think he needs to recurse himself from a case that involves a friend who has given him and his with gifts such as a bible valued at 15000.00, multi million dollar donations to projects Thomas has been working on. Or the many luxury trips they were provided by this one man. He also gave Mrs. Thomas 500000.00 to start a Tea Party Group. His name Harlen Crow. While Thomas was voting on issues that Harlen was directly connected with. He took him and his wife on a Private Jet trip that ended in Washington DC to get him back to the court in time to cast his decision. In 1969 Judge Fortus resigned under pressure for taking 10,000.00 from benifactors and Thomas has already taken at least 10 times that in trips alone not to mention all the gifts.
It is past time for the man to go.
