Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas speaks during the Florida Chapters Conference of The Federalist Society at Disney's Yacht and Beach Club Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, on January 31, 2020.Chatting with a Republican lawmaker after attending a conservative conference at a five-star resort, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was far from relaxed and rejuvenated..
Today Thomas’ salary, adjusting for inflation, has the same buying power as it did 24 years ago. But Thomas has nonetheless been able to level up, doubling his taxpayer-provided income while enjoying time on yachts and private jets provided by wealthy benefactors, including GOP mega-donor Harlan Crow.
Since 2004, Thomas has accepted more than $4 million in donations, much of it undisclosed and only revealed thanks to dogged reporting by ProPublica and others. That is more than every other justice who has served on the court over those same years – combined.
The gifts are not the only ethical issue with Thomas, who was accused of sexual harassment some 30 years ago by a former assistant, Anita Hill.
