Respectfully, that is selling a narrative that is absolutely untrue.

As I just cited and linked above, most of the most highly regarded legal scholars, liberal scholars, such as Alan Dershowitz and Jonathan Turley, as well as many other judges and legal scholars named and cited, say these allegations against Clarence Thomas are total B.S.

And conversely, far more egregious and questionable examples of corruption and influence peddling by Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Elena Kagen, Sonia Sotomayor, and Kitanji Brown-Jackson, again, all cited above.
