I certainly hope this is the end of the road for Thomas.
SCOTUS Justice?
Would he vote on cases from prison?
The US Constitution has too many long wave ticking time bombs for the union of the States to survive until 2050. It probably starts to atomise long before that.
I was watching them.
I think it does repeat but I'm never awake for that

Inquiring minds need to know…
Missed connections and forgotten history from before Clarence Thomas ascended to the Supreme Court:
Judge Thomas's South Africa Connection Needs Clarification
Opinion / LTTE
The New York Times
To the Editor:
Judge Clarence Thomas, President Bush's Supreme Court nominee, has had a disturbing record of affiliations and joint activities with lobbyists for the South African Government, which Congress should explore in his confirmation hearings. The most important of these lobbyists are Jay Parker and William Keyes. According to filings with the Department of Justice, Mr. Parker was registered as an agent of South Africa's Transkei bantustan, or tribal homeland, in 1977-78 and was the official agent of another South African bantustan, Venda, 1981-85. In 1985, Mr. Parker and Mr. Keyes incorporated International Public Affairs Consultants, registered as a lobbying agency for the South African Government, receiving $360,000 a year, plus expenses.
In 1977-78, when Mr. Parker first served as a South African agent, he organized the Lincoln Institute for Research and Education, which issued the quarterly Lincoln Review. The institute and review have consistently attacked the African National Congress, sanctions against South Africa and the United States civil rights movement's leadership and ideas.
Mr. Parker and Clarence Thomas served on the Reagan-Bush transition team for the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, of which Mr. Thomas became commissioner in June 1982. Since 1981, Mr. Thomas has been listed as an editorial advisory board member of Mr. Parker's Lincoln Review. Mr. Keyes has been a contributing editor. Registration filings under the heading "political propaganda" show International Public Affairs Consultants held a reception for its South African client's Ambassador in 1987, when Pretoria was vigorously fighting sanctions. Mr. Thomas, then E.E.O.C. chairman, was listed as in attendance.
In 1984, Mr. Keyes organized Black PAC, Mr. Parker serving as treasurer. This political-action committee worked hard for the re-election of Senator Jesse Helms in 1984, while strongly opposing the "terrorist outlaw" African National Congress and "extremists" like Jesse Jackson and the Congressional Black Caucus.
In June 1987, the conservative weekly Human Events reported that the leaders of Black PAC were holding a strategy meeting that month "to plan for the important political battles being waged in Congress," those to attend including Clarence Pendleton, President Reagan's chairman of the Civil Rights Commission, and Clarence Thomas of the E.E.O.C.
It is not certain that these two top black officials in the Reagan Administration attended the strategy meeting that was organized by two paid lobbyists for a foreign (and racist) government, but this is something that the confirmation hearings should clarify.

That’s some of the missing historical context on Clarence Thomas, Esq.

The Haves and the Have-Yachts
Luxury ships attract outrage and political scrutiny. The ultra-rich are buying them in record numbers.
By Evan Osnos
The New Yorker, July 18, 2022
In the Victorian era, it was said that the length of a man’s boat, in feet, should match his age, in years. The Victorians would have had some questions at the fortieth annual Palm Beach International Boat Show, which convened this March on Florida’s Gold Coast. A typical offering: a two-hundred-and-three-foot superyacht named Sea Owl, selling secondhand for ninety million dollars. The owner, Robert Mercer, the hedge-fund tycoon and Republican donor, was throwing in furniture and accessories, including several auxiliary boats, a Steinway piano, a variety of frescoes, and a security system that requires fingerprint recognition. Nevertheless, Mercer’s package was a modest one; the largest superyachts are more than five hundred feet, on a scale with naval destroyers, and cost six or seven times what he was asking.
Excerpt…
O’Shannassy has come to see big boats as a space where powerful “solar systems” converge and combine. “It is implicit in every interaction that their sharing of information will benefit both parties; it is an obsession with billionaires to do favours for each other. A referral, an introduction, an insight—it all matters,” he wrote in “Superyacht Captain,” a new memoir. A guest told O’Shannassy that, after a lavish display of hospitality, he finally understood the business case for buying a boat. “One deal secured on board will pay it all back many times over,” the guest said, “and it is pretty hard to say no after your kids have been hosted so well for a week.”

Same can be said for “investing” in the corruption of an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court. It pays back big time.
