The disgraceful behavior of Justice Clarence Thomas was foretold by his sexual harassment of Anita Hill which should have precluded his appointment to the Supreme Court.
By ruling on matters in which his wife has an interest and by accepting lavish gifts from the extraordinarily wealthy, with whose interests Justice Thomas regularly aligns, and by failing to disclose them, the Justice has demonstrated an utter indifference to ethical standards and has made a singular contribution to the erosion of the reputation of the Supreme Court.Even more troubling, however, is the lack of outrage from Republicans whose silence in the face of so devastating an assault on the rule of law is deafening.
