To the editor: U.S. Supreme Court docket Justice Clarence Thomas had for years accepted luxurious presents from billionaire conservative donor Harlan Crow (one among his “dearest mates” he didn’t know till he was appointed to the court docket) and did not report similar. (“Justice Clarence Thomas decries critics, calls Washington a ‘hideous place,’” Could 11)
His spouse, Ginni Thomas, aggressively fought to overthrow the outcomes of the 2020 presidential election by claiming it was stolen, and he or she continues to take action.
These usually are not “lies.” They’re information.
Thomas calling them lies is not any totally different than crying “faux information,” and it tells us every little thing we have to learn about this ethically corrupt and intellectually mendacious man.

To the editor: I used to be so unhappy to learn how sad Thomas is in Washington. Having one’s honor and repute attacked is certainly a horrible factor; simply ask Joe and Hunter Biden.
I used to be stunned to learn that Thomas likes to be with “common individuals.” Who knew? If common persons are his jam, why would he vote towards defending their voting rights and their capability to determine about their very own our bodies?
I do have some recommendation for him although. If he desires assist repairing his repute in Washington and elsewhere, maybe he might recuse himself from the case relating to presidential immunity. In spite of everything, Ginni Thomas has for years claimed that the final presidential election was corrupt. Which may be a battle of curiosity.
My different piece of recommendation is to take Harry Truman’s suggestion and get a canine if he desires a pal in Washington.
