Inside the Consulting Firm Run by Ginni Thomas, Wife of Supreme Court Justice, Clarence Thomas

[barbaraann]

...
A spokeswoman for the Supreme Court did not return requests for comment. Attempts to reach Ginni Thomas through an email listed on her website were not returned. The website appears to have been wiped since the recent reports on her texts with Meadows.

Very little is known about her company, Liberty Consulting, which is listed as an asset on her husband's Supreme Court disclosures. CNBC was able to find some of her conservative-leaning clients by cross-checking Virginia business records, tax forms, Federal Election Commission filings, personal financial disclosure documents and through interviews with people familiar with her work. Even so, watchdogs say such documents may not entirely reveal who she's represented and whether those groups have ties to any cases before the court, raising increasing calls for more transparency.

"It's very problematic," Richard Painter, chief White House ethics lawyer in the George W. Bush administration, said in a recent phone interview of Ginni Thomas' work. The Supreme Court rules don't require spouses to publicly disclose how much they earn or if they are working with anyone that could have a stake in a Supreme Court case — which could create a conflict for her husband and force him to recuse himself from certain cases, Painter said.

Oh, the possibilities!!!

[empedocles]

1. Still another little stone in Robert's shoe

[JohnnyRingo]

6. He has to be getting embarrassed.

Supreme Courts are named after the Chief Justice, so such improprieties and antic are written in history as "The Roberts Court". He's supposed to whip the court into shape to be a solemn governing body.

How does he do that with an insurrectionist, a law school flunkie, and a beerbong boofer? It'll be known as the PT Roberts 3 Ring Court.

[mountain grammy]

9. The Robert's Kangaroo Court

Works for me.

[JohnnyRingo]

24. It's fun to say Kangaroo Court. Rolls off the tongue.

But I believe with the increasing number of freaks and clowns a 3 Ring Legal Circus is more apropos.

kan·ga·roo court
/ˈˌkaNGɡəˈro͞o ˌkôrt/
noun
an unofficial court held by a group of people in order to try someone regarded, especially without good evidence, as guilty of a crime or misdemeanor.
"they conducted a kangaroo court there and then"

[LastDemocratInSC]

23. That's an interesting way to express it.

[Samrob]

2. Going to make "White Water" look like a piggy bank. nt

[kysrsoze]

3. "Liberty Consulting" The only thing she's being paid for is ratfucking. No ethics whatsoever.

[Gregory Peccary]

5. Rule #1, never use a business that has "liberty", "freedom", or "Patriot" in the title

[harumph]

8. I'd like to add - run away from any businesses

featuring a cross, the word "Christian" or those little fish.
If you have to make a big deal about so-called morals,
you're selling it to hard.

[GB_RN]

13. For Sure...

And likely, don't have said morals, either.

[GB_RN]

12. What?

You've got something against Liberty Mutual Insurance? Or Liberty Tax Service?

I mean, besides the annoying "Liberty, liberty, liberty" ads or the person dressed up as the Statue of Liberty standing out on the street corner during tax season? 😂

[not fooled]

16. OK, pre-GQP businesses get a pass

Long-standing companies whose names hark back to the actual principles of liberty that this nation supposedly stand for aren't trying to pass crackpottery and radical far-right fascism off as authentic American values.

It's the more recent ones, founded by wingnuts after the republican party mainstreamed the idiocy, that are misusing American history.

[2naSalit]

22. Having had only...

Severely negative interactions with Liberty Mutual, I would argue that they might be the incentive for bastardizing the word for deceptive means.

[GB_RN]

25. Their Commercials Alone Are Reason Enough For Me To Avoid Them...

Same for Geico, and a whole host of other companies.

My rule of thumb: If the ad is annoying, vapid, inane and/or stupid (or any combination thereof), I'm not buying your shit. Insulting my intelligence is NOT the way to win me as a customer.

Also, if you make claims that you can't or won't prove, I'm not buying your shit. Like Prevagen, et al. Jellyfish protein...shit's too big to cross the blood-brain barrier. Oh, don't get me started on supplements and diet fads (Keto? That's doing the same thing as diabetic keto-acidosis! Helloooo? WTF people?)

[2naSalit]

26. I agree.

I am not what could be considered a consumer, I only buy things I absolutely need an not much else. The only pills I take are an occasional ibuprofen.

And I eat very few processed foods.

But back to topic, LM is and has always been a ripoff.

[Gregory Peccary]

4. The Supreme Court basically has no rules whatsoever

Think about that, the highest court in the land can just do whatever the fuck they want, ethics be damned. That seems a little problematic don't ya think?

[KPN]

7. Just like the President according to TFG and Repugs

while he charaded in the WH.

Fucking Nazi traitors!

[GB_RN]

10. Before (In)Justice Clarence "Uncle Slappy" Thomas (R-No Questions Allowed)...

You could at least count on the justices appearing to abide by ethics rules that apply to the rest of the federal courts. Uncle Slappy never bothered with appearances. He's consistently refused to recuse himself from cases where he had entanglements, etc. His refusal to recuse from the tRump case against the J6 Committee for the release of documents from the National Archives is a prime example, as his wife is tied into that. Then there is the matter of his dissenting opinion - and him being the LONE dissent (forgetting the fact that his opinion was found to be legally dubious by most authorities), which in retrospect, implies that he was trying to protect his wife.

The Article III bit, "...Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour," (emphasis added) should automatically preclude Uncle Slappy's continued service on the court, just on ethical violations/concerns alone, never mind his probable involvement in, and attempted coverup of, his wife's seditious activities*.

*I seriously hope someone is actively investigating him with regards to this.

[maxsolomon]

11. Move along, Richard Painter.

IOKIYAR.

[barbaraann]

19. I think IOKIYAR needs an update.

IAPIYAR - It's a plus if you're a Republican. They have gotten so much worse.
What do you think?

[bucolic_frolic]

14. How long has she been the president?

She's running 2 branches of government and her husband doesn't speak. What is up with that?

[KS Toronado]

15. "The website appears to have been wiped "

little donnie only wiped 7&1/2 hours from view, Ginni is one upping her savior.

[Achilleaze]

17. Libertine consulting? WTF?

Do they arrange Republican key bumps+ for a fee?

[sop]

18. Liberty Consulting only exists because Ginni married a SC Justice thirty-five years ago.

[2naSalit]

20. They were married before his appointment to SCOTUS.

They were married in 1987, he joined SCOTUS in 1991. I think they've been scamming us for quite some time and I think all of his SCOTUS decisions should be reviewed.

[TeamProg]

21. Clarence Thomas, YOU'RE FIRED !!
