“When the truth is found to be lies
And all the joy within you dies…” (Somebody to Love/Darby Slick)
Clarence Thomas is not alone. Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch has also benefitted financially from parties with an interest in the high court's business while neglecting to disclose the relationship, growing concerns over corruption within the institution.
Politico reported on Tuesday that Gorsuch had been trying to sell a piece of land in Colorado for nearly two years before Brian Duffy -- the CEO of Greenberg Traurig, a law firm whose cases often find their way before the Supreme Court -- bought it on April 16, 2017.
Gorsuch noted on federal disclosure forms that he made between $250,001 and $500,000 on the sale. The forms included a space where Gorsuch could have disclosed the identity of the purchaser, but he left it blank. Politico notes that Greenberg Traurig has since had 22 cases come before the court, and that in the 12 instances in which Gorsuch's opinion was recorded, he sided with his benefactor's firm on eight of them -- including one that damaged the Clean Air Act.

Imagine if you will, if the humble, you or I, just gave no shits about admitting the truth in front of a Judge. Imagine how quickly justified justice would be handed down, because the humble you or I, decided we were above the law, and that our interpretation of ethics, is just that, OUR INTERPRETATION!
GORSUCH/THOMAS, sit, for their entire lifetime, if they choose to do so, on the once profound, and pious Supreme Court. They hand down laws that impact each and every one of us, deciding on our freedoms, our choices, our destinies…YET, THEY are not accountable for their own illegalities! HUH!
