We were warned about Justice Thomas before he was a justice.
At his confirmation hearings in the early 90s?
Don’t forget what he did to Anita Hill
@@mooseantler what would the 10-year-old version of you think about the person you’ve become? Do you think that kid would admire your hatred, or would they be ashamed of how you turned out?
@@ericburns469 what hatred is that? And, my 10 year old self would look at me now and think, " wow I became everything I wanted to be". Melt much snowflake?
Anita Hill told us who Clarence Thomas was
We knew about this 2 years ago. She paid for busses for Jan 6.
And they were allowed to slide then and her husband remained on Supreme Court
so what perfectly legal.
@@13bustah And Americans don't know how to spell ethics..so all good
@@13bustah She's a traitor supporting traitors.
@@13bustah ....true, but take the fact that she ALSO pressured government officials to overturn the election AND paid for buses to deliver protestors to DC 🤔
IT'S TIME TO ADD MORE JUSTICES TO THE COURT!
This is an important story. We can't let Ginni fade from view. She was involved in 1/6 in some way.
OF COURSE SHE WAS!!!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME????YOU CAN'T BE THAT STUPID!!!!😊
!
As long as Merrick Garland remains the AG, there will never be any justice in America. He not only ignores the most serious of crimes, he encourages them. He is a criminal himself for obstructing justice in the MOST vigorous manner I have ever seen.
@Jane Austen Fan YEAH,,, TRUST ME,,,GOD/BUDDHA,/ALLAH,,OR WHOEVER YOU VOTE FOR,,, IS SHAKING HIS/HER HEAD!!!!
So was Pelosi, but what's happening with that?
How ironic that would be. A husband and wife never discussing anything that is going on in their lives. Give me a break. It is about time these things should be reported.
I asked my, now former spouse, why he was sobbing, huge tears, the ugly face and everything, when the 1st space shuttle went up. "Did you send something up there?" The sobbing got worse and our phone was tapped. You could hear them "click" in. I would say, "hold on, i need to let the dog out." They would click off. I bought a "bag phone, a "car phone" and then a real "cellphone." I only used my house phone when my mom called.
Cry harder next time

The corruption levels in America is staggering.
YOU GOT THAT RIGHT!
The corruption level in America is indeed staggering. We all know because it's revealed, discussed and dissected. It's transparency that is unfathomable in most countries, particularly China. Corruption is everywhere.
It’s much less pervasive than other countries but the stakes are much higher.
@@xiaoka
It's so much more profitable.
The term “banana republic” comes to mind
“There is no check whatsoever on the ethics of the Supreme Court”
TRUST ME,,,, ONCE OUR YOUNGER GENERATION GETS DONE WITH THEM,,,,,,,,, WELL,,,,,
IF...they were checked ,they wouldn't find any(ethics).😮
SC Judge should resign. There’s clearly a complication of his role because of wife’s involvement of the insurrection. I am truly disappointed in Thomas’s involvement in the insurrection. There’s no way he can be neutral in any case that may reach the
S C.
There wasn't an insurrection, it's just a symptom of you TDS.
I have to explain the source of my income on my taxes every year. Why not Justice Thomas and especially his wife?
And Biden crime family
They are "above the law" just like other politicians like Mike Pence, Jim Jordan, mtg, Matt Gaetz, Trump, etc, the list goes on, and on!
The Biden Crime Family support your statement, keep them coming and you will be rewarded at a later date.
Some animals are more equal than others
Once you're rich and powerful, no rules or laws apply to you.
Both Clarence and Ginni Thomas need to be diligently investigated. If the results of the investigation show unethical and illegal activities, they BOTH should be prosecuted accordingly!
I agree but Republicans will never allow that to happen
@@brorpaulhjelm6187 And there lies the problem!
That's exactly what should happen , however , it won't because just like the Trump saga it's unprecedented.
That's why we the people should do what the French do .demonstrate til justice is done. We the people have the power outlaw the wannabe nation party the Republican party

This is why I love Lawrence. He has confront history without flinching from it. As a white person myself, he’s a good example for confronting the past while not feeling guilty for a past we can’t change. As long as we work to change the present & future.
Working to change the present and future needs to be done legally. That's NOT what is happening today.
He knows nothing of real history according to this video-
Everything done in the dark, Does come into the light. Patience, my friends.
I find it extremely difficult to believe that she never discussed any SCOTUS-related matter with her husband/ "best friend."
They know they're under the microscope, so they're being cagey, using all the tricks to avoid the consequences.
Me too.
In fact I find it impossible
Hook her up to a polygraph and ask the question again...
@@duckBarman But they're not admissable in court, are they?
And even the fact that she denies it, Cipher, shows she is a fully fledged LIAR, like her hero, Dirty Donnie !
Lawrence O'Donnell is my favorite not just on MSNBC but in the NEWS business. He speaks clearly and concisely and isn't afraid to call out and speak Truth to Power like when he nightly calls Donald tRUMP, "The stupidest man in America."
I agree 100%
good grief seek mental help tomorrow
I second that
I 3rd THAT
Hes a LIAR
That was great! Lawrence has such a way with words! “Not in the light, just in the direction of light.”
That is exactly why the constitution needs to be updated !
Absolutely!
I agree. However, with the current unscrupulous GOP, We don't know what unwanted trinkets they would include or try to include.
🧢
Centuries of American jurisprudence should have kept it updated like what occurs in other common law countries.
The Constitution is updated every time an amendment is added.
Please stay on this topic, Lawrence. This situation is absolutely egregious and cannot be swept under the rug like so many of our preventable problems that hamstring this country. Stay on it! Thank you.
I AGREE 💯 !!!! ☮️
We the People can use our Right to Free Speech to spread the word about this and take civilized, civic action. We can ask our friends and families to do the same. As ever, thanks to and for Lawrence.
@angela bluebird60 funny republicans could not do that over the laptop I guess democrats only believe in freedom of speech when it benefits them
Yes it is so important .
Yes!!! We must make him resign or charge him. Charge them both!!!
Lawrence, I love you! You're one of the brightest lights and fiercest truth tellers in this murky media mess. Thank you so much for all you do.
There is no limit of money available for corruption of whoever would be a target for bribery. Look at the senators and congressmen and gun lobby... We need to think deeper to remedy this problem. Until everything of ethics is written into a law, don't expect much changes.
And Lawrence, thank you for great work you do.
Let’s face facts……Ginni wears the “robe” in relationship and in Supreme Court!!
Thomas wears the pants. She tells him which ones to wear. 👖
😂😂😂🍿💯
With that boxy shape like a defensive line, she wears the football uniform and helmet.
Ginni wears a robe because she’s coming out of that green dress, it’s screaming for help.
Or maybe the beard?
Lawrence O'Donnell has such an amazing grasp on history that he's able to tell pinpoint, accurate narratives about the political stories of the day. Thank you sir for your, beautiful, in-depth reporting and analysis. It's sorely needed in today's muddied media culture.
He's a paid DNC hack
LOL
Do you believe Donald Trump is the current President of the United States@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ?
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ
Why?
He's just a fictional character from the abrahamic death cult mythology.

"Come fourth and I shall give you eternal life!"
But Peter came in fifth and got a toaster.
Lawrence's VERSION of history is closely intertwined with Biden's. They both met people who died LONG before they were born. 🎪🤡🎪
Investigate both of them along with the entire court.
Supreme Court Justices shouldn't be allowed to accept anything from corporations.
But President's should accept BJ's from their aids.
So many corrupt people in our government!
Corrupt people recruit people to serve in government and then demand obedience from their puppet politicians and government officials
Yep. How about term limits, automatic audits of all politicians with their taxes and family taxes. Bureaucrats too. I'm for it. So is Trump.
@@tixximmi1- Trump is for automatic audits? LOL! That's laughable! As for term limits, they're stupid. All they do is take away the right of voters to keep electing someone as effective as, say, FDR. Basically, they're saying, "Voters are too stupid to choose wisely, so we'll make a rule to choose for them."
In the republican party .

I'm Australian & have been raised to be aware of Politics & Politicians all over the World. To be informed is the best thing we can do for our children. We're all in this together, more so now that any other time in our World's History. We might not like vhat we see & hear but we know what's going on & then try & find answers to the World's problems.
Senator Whitehouse of Rhode Island recently sponsored a Bill to require the scotus to have a written code of ethics and required protocol for specific issues. The SCOTUS is the only court in the entire united states that doesn't have an official code of ethics. Pretty amazing when you think about the impact for the highest court not to have a code of ethics.
Currently, there's nothing stopping Justices from hearing a case against a company that they and/or their spouse owns. There's no requirement for them to recuse and no procedure or protocol if they don't. There's not even a way to make a complaint about a justice or court proceedings. You can write a complaint but there's literally no one nor place to send it. Even if a member of Congress wanted to file a complaint, they can't.
❤
Kind of like the “congressional ethics committee”? The ones that ignore George Santos is a complete fraud that is also a criminal and completely unqualified for office? What is the point of ethics if they are not enforced? What a complete joke… 🇺🇸- corrupt from top to bottom.
It's a life long position.

They really should be investigated !!
It’s about time! Excellent work by Senator Whitehouse. ✌🏼
He's a pitbull, he latches on, and will get the results!
And Lawrence O for exposing and reporting this !
Which is kinda ironic, as Rhode Island isn't exactly known as a bastion of clean government.
Their hair would be on fire if our Founders could see our current SCOTUS.
I don't think the 2nd amendment would have been included.
Wigs, not hair
And republicans would call the founders RINOs
One of your very best segments, Laurence. Please keep us informed of ongoing details, because surely now SOMEONE will investigate both Thomases, even though I'm not holding my breath that Spineless John Roberts will initiate anything, not if his action on the leaked Dobbs decision is anything to go by.
-- *_Thank you Lawrence O'Donnell, for a most exhilarating ride on the SCOTUS ETHICS EXPRESS!_*
“…The Thomas marriage…”
The Founders would probably be more concerned that Ginni is white.
That would be very problematic after they find out they share a residence, and it's no longer possible for Ginni to legally own him.

@@jrrarglblarg9241 best comment today!
I work as a Financial Adviser. The first thing we are taught in our ethics classes is the perception of a conflict of interest is just as bad or possibly even worse than an actual conflict of interest. It undermines the faith of the public.
The Supreme Court has no ethic requirements.
Our faith is completely eroded.
The GOP doesn't care. Jesus is coming back soon and whoever has accumulated the most money by that time will be receive the most honored seats in Capitalist Heaven.
Most of the public has zero faith in American government. Our government sold out decades ago. It’s owned by special interests. We the people have no voice. We are garbage.
…but are you part of the elite cult? They know the real ethics and moral code…they will help you come over to their side…just block out your basic instincts!
Thank you Lawrence for the exposure.
Unbridled power and greed. Thomas and his wife are shameful.
6 reichwing sociopaths! Call them out!
Not one Democratic juror on SCOTUS went for this crap.
Only Rethuglicons.
The highest court in the USA does not have a code of ethics. Isn’t that just embarrassing and sad!
It’s Utterly Outrageous!!

It's terrifying
It truly is !
@@orlandosoto6080 YUP!!!! I TOTALLY AGREE WITH THAT!!! 10000000PERCENT!!!!
there needs to be term limits for justices, the people need to be the ones to vote them into office and there needs to be a written and enforceable code of conduct for judges. and the spouses needto take an oath to abide by the code also. after we update the court it will be much less corrupt and easily swayed by big money
And- If a Justice does anything, while in office, that is contradictory to anything they said, under oath, at their confirmation hearing, they are immediately removed. If the discrepancy is revealed with a Court ruling, that ruling is null and void.
All very true ✔️
If the President has term limits, all levels of government should have term limits. Perhaps it's time to have mandatory retirement ages. They have that in the private sector, why not in government?
It doesn’t really work how we think it would though…
If the justices “turn over” too much, the laws we count on would constantly be in question. Take Roe v Wade for example, if the court had not experienced turn-over from death - Roe would’ve never been “re-heard” and it would still be in place.
The same happens in the House and Senate. Even though there are no fixed term limits, there is a requirement to “re-win” your seat every few years. Natural turn-over from elections is why we seem to keep treading over the same ground in Congress every few years.
It doesn’t work, that’s for certain; but not sure exactly what we do about that 🤷♀️
I am ALL FOR age limits though. That definitely would help and it would work. We have a minimum age already, we now just need a maximum age.
@@covfefe8971 This! Term limits, limits on number of positions you can hold, and mandatory retirement by 60.
That needs to be investigated!! 😡🤨
I have been following this story. So grateful for your honesty and thorough analysis. Keep going! ☮️
It stuns me that ANY JUDGE is appointed by politicians. And that their political views are paramount!!!! They are supposed to be impartial and make their decisions that are based on the LAW and not their own personal or political feelings. And certainly not what lunatic spouses want them to do. Good luck. Cheers Ausgranny 🇦🇺🇦🇺🤶
Thanks, granny down under. Maybe they'll follow you and the Kiwis by addressing the gun problem.
I think we can clearly see that we need to vote on Justices and on the Attorney General. States do it, and we've already had two recent presidents and their AG as co-conspirators: Nixon/Dean and Trump/Barr. The POTUS being the only person who can nominate both SCOTUS justices and their AG could change the foundation of our govt. Imagine if Trump had issued an executive order calling for permanent martial law after the election, I can see the 2020 scotus ruling it constitutional.
In the Netherlands they have a judicial independent body that nominates their supreme court justices and they have term limits where they have to retire at the age of 70. So the court is not politicized.
Trump also combines the appointment with a "quid pro quo", "I do something for you, in time you do something for me". People like Trump go Judge-shopping, which judge will rule in my favor, just like the Aileen Cannon did in the Documents case. Judges in the Netherlands are 100% impartial, no political feelings whatsoever.
And Obama really chose a doozy with Garland.
Senator Sheldon Whitehouse is the man 👏
@ Tony Voigt Senator Whitehouse won't stop, until he gets to the bottom of all of this. He is relentless!
Thank you for this perspective. As hard as it is to swallow, it's important to engage in these discussions.
Utterly unacceptable!
Hoping Adam Schiff’s push to create a more neutral Supreme Court happens very soon. Appoint 3 judges and end this nonsense of conservatives on the bench
If they are going to expand the court, they need to do it asap because it's starting to look like the republican party is re-writing laws and constitutional values, and they are gaining more and more control at state and local level politics that are designed to ensure their winning and and maintaining absolute control of government, law, and outcomes of elections for decades to come!
Keep the pressure on corrupt judges like Thomas ,
Thank you
Lawrence is one of my very favorite news people.
Lawrence O'Donnell is not just fascinating,. He is important. In his clear, brilliant voice, he involves us in the stories of our country. His exposure of how Uvalde police and responders-400 of them-were too afraid to go in for 70 minutes BECAUSE the shooter had an ASSAULT WEAPON was extraordinary. Why have we not heard more about this? When I think of Lawrence my fear and dread for our future fall away, replaced by determination and logic.
And don't forget the deputy sheriff at Majory Stoneman Douglas HS who avoided confronting the shooter because he was 1 week away from retirement.

You sound exactly like Trump. He wants the same thing. Welcome aboard. Let's also add automatic audits of all politicians and bureaucrats. Faith, that would go a long way to fix things. Good thinking. We already have the Recall thing. We just need to use it.
Mr. O'Donnell, your preamble about The Preamble was the best! Always enjoy your eloquent segments so much.
Major investigation need to be enforced and be prosecuted for all SCOTUS and family members committing crimes. Why is it the group that is supposed to make sure others in government do not do what they get away with. This is like letting the prisoners dictate what goes on in prison with no consequences. Isn't it supposed to be checks and balances, not checks in the mail for them.
Why in Clarence Thomas still on the Supreme Court after what his wife did
Because the fascist far right wants him on the Supreme court
well first of all - what do you mean what she did ? there is nothing at this point known what she did 2. The supreme court has no oversight - they are not bound to any ethical standards - we know this because Clarence Thomas has already ruled on a case that his wife was involved in - an outrageous conflict that did not bother him in the least. So what Lawrence is reporting about here is a glaring flaw in our system - which is why I believe he started with the constitution . As a citizen one would expect the chief justice to act to preserve some type of integrity within the court - but obviously we are getting crickets - once again fine work of the heritage foundation
You don't punish the husband for what the wife does. And what exactly did she do that was illegal?????
Why is he still on the court after lying to Congress about sexual harassment of Anita Hill and others?
Honest to God!! Indict these traitors!!
Shocking this is only coming here from Lawrence. Thanks for not letting it go. Our press is really weak today.

YUP!!!! AND,,, HOW SAD IS THAT THAT,,,,WE ARE DEFINITELY GONNA PAY DEEPLY FOR IT!!!!
And yet you ignore the millions given to the Biden family, including millions in payments to Hunter for "art" that isn't even vaguely artistic.
It was only for corporations and "other groups." Harlan Crow's donations to Injustice Thomas would not have applied--they were personal, unless he wrote them off as business expenses.
Our Supreme Court system is insane. Lifetime positions with almost no oversight. WTF?!?!?
They can be impeached anytime. Plenty of oversight. Not sure what's wrong with a lifetime position.
I fully agree!
Term limits?

Well done, Lawrence. Again. American history has always been taught through rose-colored glasses. So much left out; so much sugar-coating of bitter realities. This has contributed greatly to the many public woes we're currently facing. Thanks for taking a stab (again) at the long-overdue and much-needed public education. It may be too little too late but we have to start somewhere if we're to have even a small chance at saving the republic.
I am a white person and I agree we were taught history in school from the White perspective I always thought it was crazy how white people were made out as the good guys for committing genocide against an entire race of people the native Americans the ones who survived were forced onto reservations and children were indoctrinated into white propaganda
OMG is that the understatement of the year !
White washed.
Emphasis on WHITE
No body is above the law. DOJ needs to investigate Clarence and Ginni Thomas and if illegal activity is found, prosecuted to full extend of the law.
Man, these times we are living through - exhausting.

Excellent article. How we untangle her mess amazes me. Bravo Whitehouse. She a core seditionsist and needs indicted. She still believes the big lie and Qanon who I assume is Mike Flynn.
Make accountability Great Again!!!
I appreciate your insightful an informative analysis and the absence of clickbait.
Anita Hill warned us about his "ethics."
Yes she did
And Thomas,of course, lied. He is such a evil rat turd.
Very helpful information. Thank you sooo much. I live in Alaska and can confirm there is a ton of snow this year😂. Regardless of Virginia’s proclamation the perception of unethical behavior is as bad as the real thing. She’s as involved in obstructing the transfer of the Presidency as much as others and her text to her boyfriend Mark Meadows proves it. Hope she’s indicted along with the other crooks. The Supreme Court has a long way to go to get my support. Thomas should have been removed long ago. There needs to be formal ethical guidelines that are in required of the Court. And if violated, immediate sanctions or removal needs to be adhered to consistently. Disgusted by the whole mess.
What if all the truth about this deep corruption comes out and she actually is indicted? Will she appeal all the way to the Supreme Court? Can you imagine? How does our country fix this impossible situation? The corruption is all pervasive.
Heard that.✌️
YUP!!! ME TOO,,,, VERY MUCH SO!!!!!
@Shyt For Brains WTF does that mean?
