During an appearance Friday on GBH News, Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey called on Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to resign after recent revelations that he accepted gifts from conservative mega-donor Harlan Crow.
The Massachusetts governor called Thomas' actions"the height of hypocrisy" during an appearance on GBH News, Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey called on Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to resign after recent revelations that he accepted gifts from conservative mega-donor Harlan Crow.
Part of the problem, she said, is"they haven't had rules. It's interesting they enforce the rules, but they play by an entirely different set of rules from everyone else, including federal judges and state court judges around the country. To me, that's absolutely wrong. There needs to be reform there."
Supreme Court justices, like other federal judges, are required to file an annual financial disclosure report which asks them to list gifts they have received. It was not clear why Thomas omitted the trips, but under a judiciary policy guide consulted by The Associated Press, food, lodging or entertainment received as “personal hospitality of any individual” does not need to be reported if it is at the personal residence of that individual or their family.
Both Thomas and Crow have released statements downplaying the significance of the gifts, with Thomas maintaining that he was not required to disclose the trips.
