'BradCast' 4/6/2023 (Lifestyles of the Rich and Thomas: New reporting reveals corruption and law-breaking by Justice Clarence Thomas)
04-06-2023 (52.94 MB)
On today's 'BradCast': The lawlessness of U.S. Supreme Court Clarence Thomas is endless. Back in 2011, the BRAD BLOG documented how Justice Thomas, for many years, omitted his wife's salary from the far-right Heritage Foundation on mandatory financial disclosure forms, in violation of federal law. Once caught, Thomas amended the filings. Around the same time period, his wife, Ginni Thomas, launched a dark money 'non-profit' organization that pulled in funding from rightwing groups with business before the U.S. Supreme Court, including the Citizens United group that shortly thereafter received a favorable ruling from Thomas and the rightwing SCOTUS majority that overturned dark money disclosure rules. Today, stunning new reporting from Pro Publica exposes how Thomas has, for decades, received undisclosed donations in the form of luxury vacations around the world from major Republican mega-donor Harlan Crow. Thomas' failure to report these trips is not only shockingly unethical for a member of the U.S. Supreme Court, but experts say it is also illegal. Also today: some thoughts on the 'uncharted waters' of Donald Trump's first (but not likely last) criminal indictment this week, courtesy of Daily Kos contributor 'Dartagnan.' Plus Desi Doyen has our latest 'Green News Report.'
