Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is in the news.

Again, today for the extraordinary generosity he has received from a conservative billionaire.

That is just an Elliott of ProPublica, speaking to NPR about their recent reporting on Justice

This wasn't a distant relative.

Justice Thomas actually took legal custody of his nephew when he was six years old and

raised him for his whole childhood as a son.

And Crow actually paid his school tuition.

In addition to the school tuition, over more than two decades, Thomas has accepted what

could add up to millions of dollars in gifts from Crow in the form of lavish vacations, a

rent-free home for his mother and the occasional ride on private jets.

Thomas, though, is not the only justice under scrutiny.

Over the weekend, political reported that Justice Neil Gorsuch sold property to the head

of a major law firm just days after his Senate confirmation hearing.

That firm has since had 22 cases before the Supreme Court.

Even Chief Justice John Roberts has faced heat.
