ProPublica outed Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas for taking millions of dollar in luxury trips and accommodations from a hard-right Republican billionaire and failing to report them, as required, on his public financial disclosure forms. As the headline in Salon plainly states:
"Clarence Thomas Broke the Law and It Isn't Even Close."

A man of integrity might resign. That means Clarence Thomas won't.
