Meet Ginni and Clarences Thomas, perhaps the most corrupt, high-profile couple in the USA

 
Headline:  ProPublica, 9/4/2024
Ginni Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, privately heaped praise on a major religious-rights group for fighting efforts to reform the nation’s highest court — efforts sparked, in large part, by her husband’s ethical lapses. 
Thomas expressed her appreciation in an email sent to Kelly Shackelford, an influential litigator whose clients have won cases at the Supreme Court. Shackelford runs the First Liberty Institute, a $25 million-a-year organization that describes itself as “the largest legal organization in the nation dedicated exclusively to defending religious liberty for all Americans.” 
Shackelford read Thomas’ email aloud on a July 31 private call with his group’s top donors. Thomas wrote that First Liberty’s opposition to court-reform proposals gave a boost to certain judges. 
According to Shackelford, Thomas wrote in all caps: “YOU GUYS HAVE FILLED THE SAILS OF MANY JUDGES. CAN I JUST TELL YOU, THANK YOU SO, SO, SO MUCH."
