38+ MORE REASONS FOR SENATE DEMS TO DEMAND THOMAS’ TESTIMONY

SAN FRANCISCO, CA (August 10, 2023) — This morning, a new ProPublica report revealed in even greater detail the growing list of eye-popping gifts, trips, and vacations Clarence Thomas’ ultra-wealthy friends have lavished on him during his tenure on the Supreme Court.

“Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. The Senate Judiciary Committee just got 38 more reasons to call Thomas in to testify,” said Sarah Lipton-Lubet, president of Take Back the Court Action Fund. “Clarence Thomas obviously wants to live like a billionaire, not a public servant. Congress should help him with that by demanding his resignation — or moving to impeach.”

All in all, ProPublica identified:

“At least 38 destination vacations, including a previously unreported voyage on a yacht around the Bahamas;”
“26 private jet flights, plus an additional eight by helicopter;”
“A dozen VIP passes to professional and college sporting events, typically perched in the skybox;”
“Two stays at luxury resorts in Florida and Jamaica;”
“One standing invitation to an uber-exclusive golf club overlooking the Atlantic coast.”
