Anita Hill was right. Thomas should NEVER have been confirmed as a SCJ.
All government employees are required to attend periodic Sexual Harassment training. Know how that started?
@@dontbs3153 Let me guess ! Because of Clarence ? I remember watching when this thing went down with Clarence Thomas and Anita Hill. He should NEVER have been put on the court ! Anita has been apologized to, since then because she was not lying about the harassment. What a tragedy !
Thank god there was no Merrick Garland. He is showing what a little child he is with his temper fits.
I watched Anita hill give testimony ( recorded in the day), so interesting. More so brave woman!!
This act alone makes me so angry for Ms Anita, and the fact that Thomas is where he is today.
As they say, hindsight is 20/20
CLARENCE THOMAS SHOULD BE PROSECUTED FOR TAKING BRIBES AND HARLAN CROW SHOULD BE PROSECUTED FOR GIVING BRIBES.
Amen! Every other federal employee other than congress would get the boot for taking much smaller “gifts”. Congress made bribes legal to get paid for votes.
Unfortunately, until we have the house and senate nothing’s gonna happen we have to just go out there and vote and help the people to be voted for I live in a very blue area, but I give money to red areas
Believe me, Harlan Crow did not begin and end his collection of corrupting public officials with Clarence Thomas. I don’t know why journalists and investigators aren’t digging more into him.
exactly! and dont forget tax evasion
Not only accepted “gifts” from Crow, but made rulings favoring Crow and his business.
The actions of Thomas and Alito are beyond shameful.
Beyond shameful, yes, criminal!!! 👍👍👍👌👌👌👍👍👍
Why make everybody a crime because The lost Trump is areal crime. Person and he will pay before man for real it will happen before God pay day is coming by God and it will not be money Yes our God have the last say so pray and watch God and not man Prayer is the key ❤❤❤
and UNAMERICAN
Waiting for a fairy tale guy in the sky to avenge us is absurd. They need to be held to account in the real world.
@@nappyhair12344what a lot of make believe rot.
I work for a defense contractor. The company forbids accepting lunch over 10 bucks from a vendor. What a shameful man and the court he sits in.
As a low level Customer service phone rat for a financial company, I was forbidden from taking any gifts over $25.
I work in healthcare so cannot receive any gifts above $20 of value and definitely no monetary gift.
So grateful for George Conway. He’s really been stepping up and shouting from the rooftops about the corruption and injustice happening on our watch.
THIS WHOLE SUPREME COURT IS CORRUPT
I can relate to how he wanted to check out of the conversation about the Thomas corruption. I'm done hearing about it as well, the Supreme Court has become a collection of partisan lackeys...
I believe that conway has more than made up for his association with Kelly Ann.
She's such a douche.
Love George! So calm, so measured in all his comments! And, of course, so accurate every time!
Both Thomas & Alito need to be investigated by the IRS & Congress. There is no judicial oversight on SCOTUS which is needed. They act like they are above the law. 💙💙💙💙💙
LIKE TRUMP AND HIS PUPPETS THE SAME
That's because they are
Nothing will be done .
@@simonw2468 NO....THEY WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE EVENTUALLY
Alito's statement on congressional oversight claims that they are above the law 😢😮🤬💙🌊💙🌊💙🌊
Thomas needs to be held accountable for his taking bribes.
He should have never been on the supreme court. Remember Anita Hill. She wasn't lying.😢
Failure to report millions of dollars in gifts constitutes criminal tax evasion. Arrest him, put him on trial, and then convict him and put him in prison. Them sees all of his assets and apply every tax penalty in the book against him for this outrageous criminal Behavior.
You don't think he'd appeal all the way up to SCOTUS, who would exonerate him to save their own collective face?
#FeloniousCult45GQP 💸🇸🇦🇷🇺
🗳 *#voteBLUE* 🇺🇸💙
Don’t forget Gini, she may have been the “brains”.
The Legal Loophole: Thomas's argument is that they were not gifts. They were grifts. Therefore no law says he has to report grift.
Our Constitution should be more narcissistic (in leu of us).
As gut wrenching, as absurd and surreal as all this MAGA crap is, as dangerous as it is for our country, we are living in wildly, bizarre, historic times!
I freakin' LOVE George Conway. A steady, rational voice desperately needed. Thank you, too, Sarah.
VOTE BLUE
As the fake Chinese curse goes, "May you live in interesting times."
I thought there would be a silver lining 😂
These two are life long Republicans. What they say carries more weight to me for that reason. Virtually everyone who testified against Trump was an employee or supporter. MAGA still doesn’t care.
I also so love George… I also love Sarah! They’re a great combo👏👏👏👏👏
I love their honesty!
He is not only corrupt, he is despicable no shame no moral no honor no dignity. Thomas is an embarrassment for the entire country.
The corruption in this country is abhorrent
So where is the IRS in all of this?? If I received even $1000 as a gift or game show winnings I would have to pay taxes on it.
Injustice at its finest! Impeachments and Term limits!!
There is a gift exemption if the amount is less than $18,000, you don't have to report it to IRS. Thomas was way over that amount.
Millions?! There was a $25 limit on vendor gifts to us in my office. So we usually shared a box of corporate (bulk) chocolates or cookies.
IRS is underfunded and so they don't go after the big guys bc those people have bottomless pockets to fund their defense. Or, they have friends with bottomless pockets? So the IRS focuses their limited resources on the average schmuck who can't afford to defend themselves and will just settle and be done w/ it.
Exactly
@@ronlugbill1400The giver has to report and pay.
Alito and Clarence Thomas should be impeached immediately. PERIOD
Right on.
Impeachment requires a majority of US Representatives, and impeachment conviction requires a 2/3 supermajority of US Senators. Not practical now.
Boot out ol Amy and Brett while you’re at it. Neither are qualified and both lied about intentions for Roe V Wade.
Old Aussie Farmer once told me " when your neighbor preaches the gospel, brand your calves early" never forgot it...still holds true 40 years on
The Supreme Court Judges should have terms!!!
Absolutely!
You failed to mention that Harlan Crow bought Clarence Thomas’ childhood home! His Mother still lives in the home and it is owned by a billionaire
He also paid for Thomas's Grand Nephew to go to a prestigious college
Talk about Jim Crow! He owns Thomas.
He bought a couple houses next to it too because grandma Thomas didn't like her neighbors😂
You're right but you know what these people commit so many crimes that it's hard to keep track of them all and remember them all to mention them all.
I was a little kid when a woman on a boat sat on some guy's lap and somebody took a picture and that was the end of his political career
And he tore down the house's next to it because she didn't want close neighbors 🤬
People in our country are suffering from a profound lack of healthy shame for bad behavior. There is no “I shouldn’t have done that,” only “how dare you point out what I did!”
That is the damn truth.
Yea the stuff the left has been doing with all the Ukraine bribes and his son on the board of directors. That was so obvious what it was.
A lack of morals & decency is seriously missing!
THEY HAVE SOME NERVE!
Public attorneys, at least in Washington state, are not allowed to accept gifts beyond a certain minimal value. Why is it okay for Thomas to accept millions?
What bugs me more than anything is that regular government employees can't take gifts of more than $10, even if they are not in a position to make decisions. But a supreme Court justice can accept gifts of over 2 million and nothing is done.
Actually the total amt Thomas has received, that we have found, is over 4.2 million!!!!
They also can't display any political stuff at work. Other than the supreme court, judges can't display political stuff at all.
If we cannot unseat those justices, we need to make them wish they were unseated. Shaming obviously doesn't work.
@@WandaJacksonTN I'll bet ethics reform would do it. Eliminating gifts would cause quite a pay cut for those two.
I believe the ones who bribed justice T and other justices, should be also legally investigated and charged.
Why can't he be arrested and charged with bribery?
George was basically saying there was enough evidence for an investigation to be started.
If there was the left would have done it a long time about.
They are special I guess above the laws 😢😢😢
@@BVN-TEXASWhat is the point? Shouldn’t he be held accountable for crimes like anyone else?
He can be so charged, but there has to be a Quid Pro Quo. We don't - yet - have any evidence that Thomas has done anything in exchange for these gifts, so currently we only know that Thomas has committed Behavior Unbecoming of his position. Normally in that sort of situation, the Republican Party would have helped oust Thomas so that the stink of corruption didn't rub off on them, but just at the moment the Republican Party has decided to embrace corruption as something they are all for. Still, don't be surprised if there isn't already an investigation underway, to see if there has been a Quid Pro Quo, because that's a lot of money to be paying out for nothing.
Thank George and Sarah.
Vote for Joe not the psycho!
Why are judges even allowed to accept hugely expensive gifts? This is an obvious conflict of interest and opens both parties to accusations of corruption. This must stop.
When I worked as an attorney for the state of New Jersey I could not accept baked goods from the public. And what is the value of disclosing bribes, if you can accept the bribes and fail to recuse from cases? This is insane.
If any other black man did what Clarence Thomas has done he would be arrested.
He'll never would have gotten away with it especially not this long. Clarence was bought and sold in 1991
Oh dude. I have several black friends. So true
OR ANY OTHER PRESIDENT AND OTHERS WOULD HAVE ALSO!
Illogical comment, If any other black man did what Clarence Thomas has done he would be in the same situation, GETTING AWAY WITH IT, lame attempt at implying racial injustice where there isn't any, but virtue signalling gold star to everyone.
@@sg-yq8pm Clarence Thomas has been taking bribes.
George Conway is what I remember as someone with genuine conservative values… faithful to the Rule of Law, the truth. I’m a liberal but am still so astounded by the collapse of the Republican Party and honestly, George embodies all of my disgust. When it gets right down to it, Americans of good faith love their country and their Constitution, imperfect though both may be, more than this MAGA garbage. Solidarity, George. You are literally all of us.
THANK YOU GEORGE!
I'm a Leftist and I couldn't agree more with your sentiment. I strongly believe in Democracy, and the rule of law to structure and govern said Democracy
Absolutely. I don't expect to agree with everyone. But it's been too long since the disagreements were real policy disagreements.
Mr Conway is right....this conduct of these justices is "off the charts bad"!!
Love George and Sarah. She asks the questions we want asked and George explains the who, what, why.
George Conway would make an excellent SCOTUS member.
I never get tired of hearing him speak.
What a great team!
Or AG...
Agreed. NOONE gets that much in gifts and "forgets" to annotate that..... that excuse doesn't work in grade school, it should NOT work in the damned Supreme Court.
George Conway for AG.
That would need to go for Senate hearing and no time for that. Garland should appoint him as special counsel would work for the investigation and charge Thomas for corruption.
The Supreme court never had to take up this immunity case. It is ridiculous.
Well unfortunately, they did HAVE TO, once they took the money...
John Roberts said he was bothered by the circularity of an ex-president's being subject to prosecution for crimes committed during presidency because crimes are subject to prosecution. I would point-out that an ex-president's being subject to prosecution for crimes committed during presidency is just a consequence of the president's not being above the law, and I would say Roberts should ask himself why he loves the idea that the president is above the law.
@@user-cr9kj7cn4d If Trump hadn't committed the crimes, we wouldn't have to charge him. If we tried Trump of every law he has broken, the man would live in a courtroom.
As a former government contracting officer who faced the potential of a prison sentence, if I accepted a five dollar hamburger from a Contractor, at the completion party for a two year construction contract. I find this level of corruption very frustrating.
Yes, and the IRS needs to get involved
Also MAGA, defund the IRS.
Cannot imagine what is waiting for you all if you elect Trump again.
It actually seems like there's an order to leave him alone. This needs to be investigated
This newly publicized megaboner by Clarence Thomas cannot allow the citizens of the United States to feel confident in the Supreme Court until it is fully resolved. Same goes for the fun-loving patriot, Justice Alito.
To put Justice before the name of Alito and Thomas is a contradiction in terms.
I don't know if "megaboner" was a Freudian slip, but its hilarious in this context lol
@@primrosed2338 well flying flags related to the insurrection is kinda maga
, a whole LOTTA "kinda maga"
@@primrosed2338 Intentional. Thanks for acknowledging.
There's one simple word for this. It's called CORRUPTION
They don't know what damage they are doing? YES, THEY DO!
What about investigations into tax fraud? For all of the justices.
YEP AND TRUMP WAS ALREADY FOUND GUILTY FOR THIS.
I would think IRS would be anxious to talk to Justice Thomas.
No, they're busy with us little folk who try to deduct work uniform expenses from our taxes. That will result in an audit!
They ARE anxious about investgating when they SHOULD be eager to investigate. They are afraid of New Republicanism backlash, plain and simple.
Why is he not being held accountable, Thomas needs to be prosecuted and then removed from the bench, total corruption at hand!
The amount the justices take should be irrelevant. They shouldn't take ANYTHING!
Inadvertently ?? WTF !! .....inadvertently my eye. What a liar.
Eye? 😂
I find it unreasonable a person could inadvertently forget several million dollars. Even over the course of a few years.
The cases that Thomas presided over for the likes of Harlan Crow should be up for review and overturned. If memory serves me, Crow received over $1 billion in one of those cases. The defendants in these cases should be getting their lawyers cracking on it. Also, any person that bribed a justice should be criminally charged.
Excellent comment
Fruit from a poisoned tree. Time for a review.
Judges are not supposed to attend partisan events..
But they do. Heritage Society for one.
How did I not know all this time that Sarah was a Republican lesbian? Good for her for speaking up and living in integrity. Nothing but respect.
Republican lesbian, reminds me of a Key & Peele sketch about a black klansman.
How about because it doesn't matter? Like, who cares? It's not relevant to most conversations, so why mention it? Maybe?
How do you figure that's noteworthy?
It’s relevant if they discuss it, and they did.
Being conservative in viewpoint must make it hard to admit to yourself any deviation from the accepted norms of your group.
I belong to an extremely politically conservative church. It’s hard when you feel like an outsider.
She, obviously, has overcome this being truthful to who she is, and for that I applaud her!!!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@@bettygreenhansen Exactly. With the past and current war by conservatives on the LGBTQ+ community, it is more than relevant. I also come from a very conservative background that has alienated gay people. That is why it matters when brave people speak up like Sarah just did. By pretending that LGBTQ+ people don’t matter, that their identities and life experiences are irrelevant, we contribute to the problem. Liberals too often can’t seem to grasp just how intolerant and vicious the far right can be toward this community. Liberals think they value all people and then act as if something like this is not relevant. It goes to show the damage done by ideological bubbles.
So corrupt !!!
THEY ALL ARE!
Investigate all of the Supreme Court justices. We, the people, need to have an investigation so that we may or may not believe in this institution. And if not, let us get rid of it -- if it is peopled by such corrupt and religious fanatics.
Why stop at the Supremes? Shouldn't DoJ go after everyone in congress that speaks the big lie, ignores subpoenas, and/or was part of the J6 plot?
So happy George decided to share his unvarnished opinions (with or without F-bombs), rather than stay buttoned up in hopes of a Supreme Court seat. As a person who has gained a lot of information and understanding from listening to George's insights, I am grateful for that choice.
Are the Supreme Court really telling the little people of America that crime pays?
How the hell do we get such dishonest people on the court?
Republican appointees.
The Federalist Society
It all really got started when Bill Clinton had the nerve to beat HW Bush.
We don’t vote down ballot or in off-year elections.
United States of America
Thomas "I forgot the million $ gifts inadvertently.'
😂
pants on fire
George Conway Rocks
Totally agree that Supreme Court justices should act honorably and honor the institution of the Court.
So Thomas didn't report his "gifts" to the court or public, WHAT ABOUT THE IRS? Those gifts should be considered INCOME, so he could be charged with TAX EVASION???😮
We had to report $$ for employee travel with airlines. What schitt’s Creek show.
Thomas should definitely be investigated by the DOJ and the IRS.
Plùs penalties Thomas has to pay.
WTH!!!!!
They weren’t gifts, they were straight up bribes. Not to mention his wife being ass-deep in the failed coup attempt. Miss Lindsey claims rules of ethics would interfere with the work of the court. Unbelievable these fkn people.
Corrupt to the core....
My mom was a judge. She said that it was a very lonely profession and repeated regularly at home, "don't quote me on that" when opining on politics or religion. She was a formidable advocate of justice for the poor and dispossessed.
Kudos to your Mom!
Investigations are necessary. When did they receive the money/gifts and from who and how did they vote on certain cases before the court!
Ummmmm, how about the role the Federalist Society has played in capturing the courts?
they need to be charged with obstruction.
Amen!
SCOTUS for hire
Thank you Sarah and George!
Thank you for joining the conversation while on vacay, George!
George & Sarah are the BEST! I worked for a small local govt office and we couldn’t accept gifts AT ALL. Food items had to be shared. These gifts are RIDICULOUS!
I was mid level management in a public institution. We couldn't accept anything really. We were constantly told to avoid not only any impropriety but also any appearance of impropriety. Not sure why if you're a SCJ none of those rules apply.
"My country, right or wrong---if right, to be kept right; if wrong, to be set right." So, let's get busy setting it right, this November.
OMG. Conway Knocked it out of the park. Thank you from 70 yr old Joe Russo in Northridge, Ca. As soon as my wife gives me some money that goes in her pocket from my deceased parent's trust, I will be contributing to the 2 of you. WHAT A TEAM of PERSPECTIVE. WOWOW
Did he and his wife file jointly? If so, they should both be charged with tax evasion.
OMG…. This never gets better…
Now a badly needed investigation of Justice Thomas….
What’s next?
"injustice thomas"... Just Saying.
In the 70’s, I studied in the US for almost 4 year. Back then I read an article about “respect for professions” amid the general public. Topmost were Supreme Court justices. Then other judges, neurosurgeons and so on. Watching what is going on with the Supreme Court now breaks my heart, even when I am just a non-resident alien. And I am horrified not only at the extreme lack of ethics of Thomas and Alito. The way things happened with the nominations Kavannagh, 3 month before the election vs the nomination that was tried 9 month before the election the last year of Obama (I can’t remember who Obama’s candidate was) is absolutely unethical. And it was the Senate. Shame on them!
Dear IRS: I inadvertently failed to file my taxes for the past seven years. It’s ok- the Supreme Court says so 😉
If Alito will say this stuff to a random person, what can we imagine he says in private in his circle of fellow travelers?
That’s because White, Christian Nationalism is a political ideology, not a religious movement.
When will the insanity end? 😮
The whole concept of ethics isn’t even on the radar of these justices. They don’t spend two seconds questioning their shady behavior or actions.
George Conway what a breathe of fresh air
Republicans gave six criminals on the highest court in the land
more than that
Criminals unfortunately support criminals!
Should a Special Prosecutor be appointed?
Best conversation I’ve heard thus far regarding SCOTUS.
This team works well. Together and happen to be right ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦
Outrageous
This is unacceptable. Vote 💯💙💙💙💙💙
Sarah you are so on target about the damage to our institutions. Well said!
"Inadvertently forgot to disclose them on financial disclosure forms"...I bet that corner cutting swampster also failed to disclose them on his taxes too. And THAT, that is a crime.
Your comments about what judges should not say in public are right on. If I remember my high school civics class correctly, our supreme court justices in Canada are not allowed to declare their political sympathies in public, nor make any public speeches while active on the bench. Indeed, I would be hard pressed to name Supreme Court members. Only when they retire at the age of 75, do they write memoirs, accept guest speaking engagements and the like. Apolitical justices are a good thing!
Don't be surprised at anything that happens in Georgia over the next few weeks
Mr Conway always excellent in your comments and explanations , Thank you 👍🙌👏👏👏👏
Interesting. Its a shame Thomas absolutely believes he deserves all these gifts and more.
Astoundingly entitled, according to his actions!
I am certain he didnt feel obligated to make judgements in favor of his "friend's" ideology
he shares that idealogy, so in his mind he can justify to himself that it's not bribery..
getting these millions of $$ in gifts is just a 'bonus'
@@kevinp7056
Sure. Being bought and paid for is an easy pill for Thomas to swallow pushing decisions that take us back 50-100 years.
Shout to Sarah! You did great on MSNBC this afternoon!
It feels like I am living in a fantasy. Never in a million years would I have believed that this country could evolve to this state.
😢 DEvolve 😢
Attorney General George Conway!
"The fact that we are still dealing with this guy". Exactly!!!!!!!!
Criminal investigation of Thomas! ♥️ That’s why this democrat like George a lot!
Love George Conway! Very truthful & intelligent lawyer! Love the Bulwark!
George and Sarah are my fav Bulwark team!
I agree George, a judge shouldn’t talk about politics. Same as when you become a manager or supervisor, you shouldn’t talk about certain things with your employees. You’re no longer buddies.
Yes,thank you George and Sarah!!
Thanks, Sarah and Geoge. You
two nailed it on the SC issues.
GC is spot on regarding SCT judges. Not making enough, retire from the Court and join some boards.
There should be salary caps for all-ALL public servants. It’s disgusting they live so lavishly while cutting programs for people making under 50k per year. Let them feel their constituents’ struggles and maybe they’d get off their asses and actually DO something for them. Vote 💙💙💙💙
😮 Less than $50k a year? Try less than $30k or even less than that! 😮 I would consider myself to be be rolling in dough if I made $50k a year! 😮
Agree.
What do you think the chances are Garland would open an investigation, seriously! George or Sarah, anyone?
Given Garlands track record over the last 3 years, its not just zero, its in negative numbers. Coz hes sooooo afraid of being accused of being political, that he will be insanely political in his decisions. Still having failed to learn, that no matter what he does, he will be accused of being political, so he might as well do the right friggin thing instead of letting Republican judges, justices and politicians have a free rein to crime away, coz oh no, they might yell at him.
ZERO. DOJ is afraid of appearing political.
@@TankZappa I’m afraid you’re correct. With each new “scandal” it just seems like nothing is being done.
I look back at past cases, the “hypothetical” about the wedding invitations, seemed to be a bit biased to me. Was it just me or is this now all coming to light? SCOTUS seems to rule in favor of religious freedom a lot. I now question it.
We ask Garland to appoint George as the special counsel.
I expect there already is an investigation. I expect there is also a foreign influence investigation running, because someone willing to take that much unseemly money is often willing to take money from... We won't hear about the investigations, though, unless they find hard evidence of crimes.
Impeach Thomas and Alito
Wish we could, but we can't because there are too many dePublicans up on The Hill -- it wouldn't pass the 2/3 votes required.
Thomas basically put out a shingle saying "For Sale" when he complained he wasn't making enough salary and might need to step down from the Supreme Court to make ends meet. That's when the free money started pouring in. I agree, he should be criminally investigated. He thinks he's above the law. So does Alito.
YeS!!! Tax evasion! Send him to prison. Where is the IRS!? Double tiered system of Justice. Immediately remove him from the court! How can a criminal be on the supreme court
