For years, Clarence Thomas has been showered with gifts. Flights on a billionaire’s private jet, lavish vacations cruising on his superyacht, summer stays at his Adirondacks compound, tuition for a child Thomas was raising, a quarter-million-dollar motorhome a wealthy friend paid for.
Those gifts were income, and income belongs on a tax return. Thomas treated them as nothing, and no public record shows he ever reported a dollar of it. Under Virginia law, leaving income that size off a return, if it was done to cheat the state, is a felony. The evidence is already public, and he could be charged on Monday.
Virginia law makes it a felony to file a state income tax return with a false statement on it, made with intent to defraud the Commonwealth. The statute is Virginia Code section 58.1-348, it carries up to five years in prison per count, and the clock has not run out on the returns Thomas filed for tax years 2020 through 2024. That is the whole case, and unlike everything else, it is a case a county prosecutor in Virginia has the plain authority to bring.
I have been hearing about this guys corruption and scandals since the early 90s.
Hes living proof of why lifetime Supreme Court appointments should not exist
I mean, let’s prosecute crimes and all but the timing of this kind of seems like we’re giving the pedos another lifetime appointment… dammed either way. Special shout out to disposing of the useful black idiot first
That asshole really needs to fall for all the corruption he has been part of.
But it’s doubtful it will ever happen.
Americans simply don’t do enough against corruption, no matter how bad and no matter how obvious.Would be charged, if the US wasn’t deeply infiltrated by Nazis.
Jesus Christ.
There’s a difference between possible and probable. This headline is extremely misleading. It might as well say Clarence Thomas could have monkeys fly out of his butt on Monday.
Is it possible? Yes.
Is it probable? No.
I understand this is “a call to action” but the headline is disingenuous.
Virginia’s CIA puppet governor won’t let it happen.
Could be? Or will be?
It’s the US - I think we all know the answer.
That country needs to (for so many reasons) drop “In God We Trust” as an official motto - “Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda” seems more apposite.
Fine, but do it in Latin… for the mystique…

No, he won’t.
Should he? Yes, he should have been dragged out behind the courthouse 20 years. But he’s not going to ever face any consequences for betraying this country or for taking bribes, even though he’s made a career out of doing both.
Oh no how unfortunate.
Isn’t Monday a Federal Holiday? The courts will be closed.
We may see a migration of Virginian motorcoaches into Florida and Texas.
him and his wife are both hardcore magats, so crucify them
Haha silly, a supreme court justice can’t break the law! They make the law! How can they make the law and break the law at the same time? That makes no sense hahahahahahaha 😭
DO IT.
Nothing will come of it but it at least sounds funny.
Idk, I’m not saying that Clarence Thomas doesn’t have it coming. It looks like he took bribes.
I get kind of an ick about going after the black guy, when I doubt he was off on his own taking bribes and think it’s more of a structural issue.
So, I’m not sure which would be more repellent doing nothing or doing something in this case.
You do have to kind of admire the game though, which damnation would you prefer?
I think Uncle Clarence gave up his black guy card decades ago.
I get kind of an ick about going after the black guy
Seriously‽ The guy is corrupt. The law applies to all no matter the skin colour, and he of all people should know that (as a supreme court judge).
I get kind of an ick about going after the black guy, when I doubt he was off on his own taking bribes and think it’s more of a structural issue.
As a member of the black delegation, fuck that guy. We don’t claim him.
Well he certainly had no problems going after the black guys. time for him to get what he gave
He’s the one that did it publicly and he’s an idiot for it. Gotta start somewhere with these Supreme Injustices. I fear if he’s impeached the replacement the orange one picks will be far worse, if that’s even possible.
Go back to Reddit
sounds like what a russian troll would say
Or an Israeli lobbyist.
