over the Supreme Court justice’s conduct.
Clarence Thomas, the Supreme Court Justice known for his steadfastly pro-gun stance, is under fire today after news surfaced that he had received years of gifts from a prominent Republican donor. According to a report from ProPublica, Thomas accepted luxury travel, meals, and hospitality from Harlan Crow, a billionaire who has been a major donor to Republican causes for many years.
The gifts, which included a hunting trip to Crow’s ranch and a stay at a resort hotel in Scotland, were given to Thomas over the course of a decade, but were never disclosed in Thomas’s financial disclosure reports. According to ProPublica, Thomas received the gifts at the same time he was hearing cases involving Crow’s interests.
The controversy has sparked debate over whether Thomas’ conduct was ethically appropriate. Supporters of Thomas, however, have argued that the gifts should not be cause for alarm, pointing out that Crow’s donations have gone to support many Republican causes, not just those supported by Thomas.
“Harlan Crow has donated to a wide range of conservative causes, including pro-gun and pro-life organizations,” said one anonymous source close to the Thomas camp. “I don’t think it’s right to assume anything nefarious is going on here.”
Whether or not the gifts influenced Thomas’ decisions in any way, the controversy has certainly shone a light on the potential for conflicts of interest in the Supreme Court. It remains to be seen what, if any, repercussions Thomas will face for his actions.
