Clarence Thomas’s $267,230 R.V. and the Friend Who Financed It

The vehicle is a key part of the justice’s just-folks persona. It’s also a luxury motor coach that was funded by someone else’s money.

This Supreme Court is such a freaking joke. And while there is sound and fury about the corruption and lack of ethics, it does seem to signify nothing.
The lack of transparency and accountability is astounding.
He should be disbarred. Can't be a judge if you're not an active lawyer.

Edit: can't be a judge is correct, unfortunately the scouts cleverly dodges this by not naming them as judges, but rather justices, which are not held to the same standards.
- False. Even the SCOTUS website says this. "The Constitution does not specify qualifications for Justices such as age, education, profession, or native-born citizenship. A Justice does not have to be a lawyer or a law school graduate, but all Justices have been trained in the law."
  
  I stand corrected. Would appear they were careful in using the term justice instead of judge for that very reason. I do weber what would happen if he were disbarred... would the other justices pressure him to resign, since the disbarment apparently wouldn't affect his status as a justice...
