Trump could try to somehow kick the case up to the Supreme Court, where the conservative majority could rescue him.
including his mother’s home, where she now lives rent free. Crow also paid private school tuition costs for Thomas' grand-nephew, who Thomas raised as a son. None of which Thomas ever disclosed. So this appears to be the deal between Clarence Thomas and his Republican benefactors.
You want yachts? We’ve got yachts. You want private jets? We’ve got private jets. You want a fancy elite education for your adopted son? We’ve got it. We will give you the life you want if you stay on the court where we need you, pursuing the ideological project we are all committed to. This is why gifts are supposed to be at the very least disclosed and regulated. It can be shockingly corrupt.
