Related: About this forumJustice Clarence Thomas's ethical lapses are likely also crimes. Time for an investigation. - Kirschner
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."
So now, it's time for an actual investigation of this Supreme Court Justice.
Because justice matters. - Glenn Kirschner - 04/08/2023.

OP
Is he also magically immune from criminal prosecution? Charge, convict and jail him.

and we are going to blow it. We did not fight for Garland and it looks like we are not going to fight against Thomas.

Two-thirds in the Senate. That's assuming that he was impeached by the House, which is far from certain.

They approve of this type of action. It is not like any of them wouldnt take a bribe.

He can go on remote work.

Maybe Republicans will propose building a prison near the Capitol so their members can have a place to work in DC.

(11,194 posts)10. Republicans will not allow his impeachment. Will the DOJ indict him?
Can they put him in jail, or is it one of those "just pay a fine" sort of crimes?
A man of integrity might resign. That means Clarence Thomas won't.
