Justice Clarence Thomas has been a target of the Left for many years. Aside from being Black and not a member of the Left’s “plantation,” he has stood like a rock in the court for his belief in Originalism in his interpretation of the Constitution. How to deal with a non-believer like him?
One way is to attack him personally in an attempt to discredit him in the eyes of the public. Fix the Court, who claims to be a “nonpartisan advocate for Non-ideological fixes” has released a report which accuses, without actually saying so, that Justice Thomas has received gifts and vacations worth hundreds of thousands of dollars from a wealthy businessman who has never appeared before the Supreme Court.
Examination of their reports shows an amazing lack of objectivity, false assumptions and outright false estimates of the cost of various activities between Justice Thomas the his long time friends, Harlan and Kathy Crow.
Between Fix the Court and ProPublica (another self-serving organization which claims to be, “an independent, non-profit newsroom that produces investigative journalism with moral force”), their reports appear to be poorly researched and overly partisan.
The attached article is a fine example of how one needs to not be carried away by sensational headlines and be skeptical of any organizations which claim such a high moral ground. The more grandiose the rhetoric, it seems, the lower their professional standards.
