Clarence Thomas has support of 3 key Representatives

Three key Members of the House of Representatives issued a joint statement in support of Justice Clarence Thomas. The Justice has lately come under attack, with allegations of accepting improper emoluments from (indirectly) interested parties to major cases.

Clarence Thomas – latest attacks

Reps. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), Mike Johnson (R-La.), and Chip Roy (R-Texas) sent out this joint statement today. Jordan and Johnson both posted it to X, as did the Judiciary Committee, of which Jordan serves as Chairman. Here is the post by the Judiciary Committee:

The “before confirmed” phrase refers to accusations by Anita Hill, who served with Thomas on the Equal Employment Opportunities Commission. She accused him of sexual harassment and making inordinately (and unprintably) crude remarks in the workplace. Substantiation of her claims was lacking, and Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) famously destroyed her credibility, and that of three supporting witnesses, on cross-examination before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

President George H. W. Bush nominated Clarence Thomas in 1991 to replace retiring Justice Thurgood Marshall. Today, Thomas, the most senior Justice of the Supreme Court, leads the Originalist Bloc, one of three into which the Supreme Court has divided itself.

The latest attacks against Thomas involve travel reimbursements by one Harlan Crow, whom the legacy media describe as:

• A personal friend of Justice and Mrs. Thomas, and
• A Republican “megadonor.”

Leftist politicians and pundits have decried Thomas’ acceptance of these reimbursements as impeachable offenses.

Who is Harlan Crow, and why does the left attach such importance to him?

Crow is the heir to the Trammel Crow Company, a real-estate firm some wags call “the largest landlord in the United States.” He also has given generously to conservative causes. But never once has he been a party to a case before the Supreme Court.

In fact, as billionaires go, Harlan Crow keeps a remarkably low profile. He is not, in short, a household name, like Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos. He is an apparent fixture in the moneyed society of Dallas, Texas. But, if not for his now-public relationship with Clarence Thomas, few outside that city would know his name.
