George Conway Calls For Criminal Investigation After Thomas Disclosure

Clarence Thomas' time on the bench has been nothing short of a grossly corrupt caricature of what a Supreme Court Justice should be like. The New York Times reports that Thomas amended an earlier filing to include lavish vacations to Bali and an exclusive California club paid for by Texas billionaire Harlan Crow.

That is in keeping with his typical practice. According to Fix the Court, an advocacy group critical of the court's lack of transparency, for more than a decade he has delayed filing his disclosure.
