Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) called out conservative justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito on Sunday for allegedly accepting gifts from billionaire benefactors.
“This MAGA-captured Supreme Court feels free to accept lavish gifts and vacations from their powerful, billionaire friends. And these are no ordinary billionaires—they are ideological extremists who bankroll hard-right MAGA causes and then bring those cases before the same Justices they’ve patronized,” Schumer wrote in a “Dear Colleague” letter, according to The Hill.
The Senate Majority Leader didn’t namedrop Thomas or Alito specifically, but his comments were in clear reference to a series of recent ProPublica investigations that exposed the justices for accepting gifts from wealthy conservative donors. Schumer pledged to make an effort to hold justices accountable for their ethical practices. “Congress has clear authority to oversee the federal judiciary, and we must explore every option for restoring faith in our courts,” he said.

Piece of corrupt slime trying to cover his own dirty tracks
“This MAGA-captured Supreme Court ”
Previously it was a leftist anti-religious captured Supreme Court that legalized toeivah abomination, overturning centuries and millennia of precedent, let alone Biblical bedrock morality. Did Schumer protest then?
You have also been captured by the extreme left Senator. Your zeide, gabbai to the Czortkover Rebbe, must be figuratively turning over in his grave.
Repent while you still can.
Too late as Chuck was chucked together with the rest of the swamp.
As a true conservative, I am very happy with the state of SCOTUS today, but still: Since when is a call for transparency and ethical standards called “Goes Nuts”? If they are being wined and dined by conservative activists, they should be called out for it, at the very least.
Did he complain about Kagan and Sotomayor accepting gifts and travel. I think that they have taen more trips than Thomas has and Thomas is on the Court more than twice as long.
It doesn’t take much to drive chucky crazy. Especially since he lost power and no one cares what he says
