I don’t see how Justice Thomas can be trusted PERIOD!

The whole situation is really frustrating. Payday lending should be illegal, wealthy people don’t borrow money at those rates. Thomas needs to be impeached.

Thomas must not only recuse himself in this case, he must resign!

And if he won’t, he must be removed for his unethical behavior and incompetence.

Thomas is as corrupt a person as Trump. Both should have max sentences. They don’t belong in American civil society, but think it would be ok if they share a cell.

It would be simpler to compose a short list of cases for which Clarence is not conflicted.

Clarence Thomas and a couple of others on the Supreme Court are so compromised (by clearly reported evidence, not just by their proclivities) that they need to be removed. Any decision these individuals participate in is tainted. Thank you, Robert Reich, for continuing to speak out.

With Supreme Court Justices like this, who needs foreign enemies?

Absolutely agree Robert! Thomas should also be held accountable by Congress and the Senate and removed from the bench. He's so corrupt he stinks.

He and his buddy Alito should have to resign. Roberts not so pure either. His wife is a lawyer who earns 10M a year working for law firms that have appeared before SCOTUS.

We are at a crossroads in our country. As citizens we have a choice to make. Rule by fear and coercion by those who seek power or choose our democracy. We can’t have both. Thomas is a disgrace as is Justice Alito.

Impeach. Vote out those who will not heed what most rationale Americans want for our nation. Aren’t we all weary of the insanity?

I'd love for you to start a website where people across the country can list their industry, title, and the details of the most minor conflict capable of getting them fired/disbarred/arrested or simply viewed as having lost all credibility and impartiality. We can call it something like WishIWereSCOTUS.com

I agree with this article and the comments of others. Thomas is corrupt and should be impeached.

Thomas may be the most corrupt Judge on the Court. More corrupt than the other four conservative Judges. Biden needs to expand the Court by four asap. Four liberal judges @the age of forty will be a step in the left direction.

Wow! A daytime post, thank you Robert. Now the first opportunity at comments is not left only to the night owls.

I think he needs to be removed because trust is nonexistent.
