ProPublica released a new report on Friday detailing Justice Clarence Thomas’ close relationship with the Koch brothers with previously undisclosed and extraordinarily damning new details.

According to ProPublica, the justice developed a friendship with the Kochs as they were funneling hundreds of millions of dollars into right-wing causes, many of which ended up before the Supreme Court. The brothers then used Thomas to raise money for their sprawling network, inviting him to speak at “donor events” that brought in millions of dollars.

He disclosed none of these activities on his annual disclosure forms, an obvious violation of federal ethics law.

We shouldn't be talking about impeachment at this point. We should be talking about prison. Injustice Thomas needs to go to prison.

    First impeachment, then a criminal trial ending in significant prison time.

    Edit: scratch that. Caging humans doesn't decrease crime or otherwise benefit society. Give him several years of community service and permanently take away his licence to practice law in any way, shape or form.

    The problem is I doubt anything he is doing is illegal. If it is though that is a much more realistic option than impeachment

    It's a job and they're violating the terms of their job, of course it's illegal. They might just do more cheat/illegal things to get around it. Also, what the Kochs were doing is highly illegal. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/201
