That letter from those Senators shows the hypocrisy of the Senators in my opinion.
Why, have billionaires given them RVs, and then they 'forgot' to report the gifts to the IRS and on their ethics forms?

How do you reach a conclusion of 'hypocrisy'?

All politicians receive money and/or gifts from lobbyists and wealthy donors... and I ain't talking about money to use in election campaigns.

It's not hypocritical for gun owners to fault Hunter Biden for the crime he committed on his gun application form.

Yes. I really do believe that.
Politicians get wealthy and very rich during their multiple terms of office by gaining a lot more wealth and assets which could be bought by using only their income from being a Senator or congressman.

...so let's dismiss all Congressional committees who provide oversight because, according to your belief, they're all corrupt.

I would love for Congress to reveal and clean up the corruption inside of both the Senate and the US House of Representatives.

That is a great question.
Thankfully, I am not dependent on the government for enjoying and experiencing the Grace, blessings, love and mercy of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Then I suggest you refrain from calling Senators hypocrites.
The fact is, Judge Thomas participate in activities that no USSC Justice has ever done. He needs to be held to account.

This happening would be pretty close to the Parousia, (and probably about two minutes after)!

Odd that government corruption would matter to you at all, with this wonderful “fallback”!

Sens. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) and Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) sent the letter to Garland last week asking him to appoint a special counsel “to investigate possible violations of federal ethics and tax laws.”

Clarence Thomas Took Free Yacht Trip to Russia, Chopper Flight

Buried on page 14 of a letter that two Democratic senators sent to Attorney General Merrick Garland on Tuesday, in which they urged Garland to appoint a special counsel to probe Thomas, was an astonishing list of dozens of “likely undisclosed gifts and income” from Crow, Crow’s affiliated companies, and “other donors.”

The list of potentially secret gifts also includes a loan of more than $267,000 provided by Thomas’ close friend Anthony Welters, the yacht trip to Russia from the Baltics, and the helicopter ride to Yusupov Palace in St. Petersburg. ProPublicafirst reported last year on the existence of extensive undisclosed gifts and lavish trips from Crow.

Ocasio-Cortez Files Impeachment Articles Against Justices Alito and Thomas


The articles of impeachment contend, among other allegations, that Justices Alito and Thomas were obligated to recuse themselves from cases related to Mr. Trump’s and his allies’ efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election — Justice Thomas because his wife participated in those efforts and Justice Alito because flags associated with the efforts flew outside Justice Alito’s homes.

“The unchecked corruption crisis on the Supreme Court has now spiraled into a constitutional crisis threatening American democracy writ large,” Ms. Ocasio-Cortez said in a statement. She added that the justices’ actions posed “a grave threat to American rule of law, the integrity of our democracy and one of the clearest cases for which the tool of impeachment was designed.”

Do you believe that all these Senators have cheated on their taxes?
I believe all Senators and congressmen and congressmen have been exposed to the corruption of Big money lobbying.

Sen. Wyden says Thomas took two more undisclosed flights on donor’s jet

A letter from Sen. Ron Wyden to Harlan Crow’s lawyer says Justice Clarence Thomas took two flights on Crow’s private jet that have not been previously reported.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection documents show Thomas and his wife, Virginia “Ginni” Thomas, traveled round-trip from Hawaii to New Zealand aboard Crow’s private jet in November 2010, according to the letter. Crow was aboard the flights.
