The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

No word salad. Just plain old corruption on the SCOTUS bench.

Status Kuo:"Thomas had previously been on notice of having failed to report gifts and knew there were strict requirements around reporting. Further, Crow had befriended the Thomases only after Clarence Thomas became a justice.

In short, Crow wasn't trying to make friends; Crow was trying to influence the law. "Yesterday, ProPublica followed up with an even bigger bombshell: not only had Crow showered expensive gifts upon the Thomases that went unreported, he had also bought real estate from Thomas which he failed to report. This is far more serious a problem for Thomas because the laws around disclosing the sale of investments and real property are clear, not fuzzy at all. And the transaction and arrangement that the parties made demonstrates that actual money flowed from Crow to Thomas'in short, a bribe."
