Clarence Thomas is corrupt, and if he had been involved in being a severe jurist as a substitute of a partisan political activist on the bench of the best courtroom within the land, he would have recused himself. Justice Thomas is on the bench right now to maintain Donald Trump on the poll.
Thomas is the epicenter of the Supreme Court docket’s moral disaster, and till he’s gone, the American individuals are appropriate to mistrust the conservative Supreme Court docket majority.
