I'm not taking anything personal. I just think its bs that ethics issues at the supreme court, not just Thomas, but all justices are regulated only by those justices. Every other federal judge in the country has to adhere to a code of ethics. Screw ideology, make them accountable.I can and hopefully you as well. The issue is the media who cannot unless you can start pointing out the indepth investigative reporting on the other issues. Don't take it so personal.
I'm not really sure how epstein is related to the fact that there is no ethics code or oversight for the supreme court, whether is Thomas, Sotomayor, or any other justice; but you are Smart Guy so I assume you'll explain it to me.

I assume you want the same level of accountability for these as well - correct?
Joe Biden caught up in a pay-for-play scheme involving bribes from a foreign national in exchange for policy decisions.
IRS Whistleblower coming forward to incriminate Merrick Garland for blocking an investigation into Hunter Biden.
Antony Blinken committing brazen election interference by colluding with 51 former intel officials to lie about Hunter Biden's laptop just weeks before the 2020 election.
His friend has contributed to or been a member of groups like the Club for Growth that have filed briefs in supreme court cases and Thomas has come down on the side of those parties. Doesn't matter the party, the justices shouldn't be accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars from people who are financing cases before them.Maybe it would be unethical if his friend benefited from SC rulings but I don’t believe that to be the case. It’s not like Thomas ran a foundation and offered favors to the highest donors.
Perfect. Indict them, try them, convict them, punish them, if they're guilty. My question is why aren't the 9 Supreme court justices subject to the same ethics rules as every other judge in the country? Shouldn't be a partisan issue.
So now the issue isn't the supreme court, but the media? I saw Sotomayor has a questionable book deal today. So do we need to excuse scotus for excluding themselves from ethics rules or not?No problem with the ethics rules for all the judges at every level.
The issue with the bold above is that the media does not investigate at the same level of intensity as to allow this to even potentially happen. Does this not bother you as well? Do you not know more about Clarence Thomas than our President potentially being compromised from foreign entities? Or why there is not more visibility with the IRS whistleblower and what they have to say? Or the role of SOS Blinken in potentially attempting to sweep the Hunter Biden laptop story under the rug before an election using our intel officials? Having a more robust honest media should not be a partisan issue.

Not at the expense of the 7 items Charlie Kirk listed above. To help your further, Charlie is pointing out the laser like focus of the media on this issue at the expense of the other important issues where the investigations for truth and oversight are much less.
"I sought guidance from my colleagues and others in the judiciary, and was advised that this sort of personal hospitality from close personal friends, who did not have business before the court, was not reportable,” - Clarence Thomas
A justice of the Supreme Court doesn't understand the laws and rules that govern his office. And we rely on him to interpret the laws that govern our nation? Justice Thomas stands naked before us IMO.
