The drip, drip, drip of the corruption of the supreme court continues.
The newest revelation is that a boy, Mark Martin, whom Clarence Thomas and his wife had taken legal custody of when he was six years old and Thomas had said in an interview he was 'raising him as a son,' had his private school tuition paid for by, yep, you guessed it, billionaire Harlan Crow.
Tuition at the boarding school ran more than $6,000 a month. But Thomas did not cover the bill. A bank statement for the school from July 2009, buried in unrelated court filings, shows the source of Martin's tuition payment for that month: the company of billionaire real estate magnate Harlan Crow.
The payments extended beyond that month, according to Christopher Grimwood, a former administrator at the school. Crow paid Martin's tuition the entire time he was a student there, which was about a year, Grimwood told ProPublica.
'Harlan picked up the tab,' said Grimwood.
Must be a pretty nice school.
If Thomas was a liberal judge, republican lawmakers would be demanding his immediate resignation and Thomas's corruption would be on display on Fox 24/7.

And then we have....
'Liberal Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor declined to recuse herself from multiple copyright infringement cases involving book publisher Penguin Random House despite having been paid millions by the firm for her books, making it by far her largest source of income, records show.'

what I also find "interesting" is that the news piece I had read also included the fact that another family friend had paid some tuition for this child as well at one point, and Thomas declared that on his tax filings. But he did not declare any of Harlan Crow's tuition payments, which were far far more substantial. No time to find the link right now. Will try to do so later.
