Clarence Thomas' undisclosed luxury trips highlight need for Supreme Court reform.
TL;DR Summary
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and his wife have been enjoying lavish trips across the globe in recent years at the expense of a wealthy Texas real estate investor and prominent Republican donor, Harlan Crow, according to a report by ProPublica. Thomas appears to have continued accepting free trips from Crow, but stopped disclosing them after a 2004 Los Angeles Times article disclosed that Thomas had accepted expensive gifts and private plane trips paid for by Crow. The extent and frequency of Crow’s apparent gifts to Thomas have no known precedent in the modern history of the U.S. Supreme Court.
