Good news! Four members of the Proud Boys are guilty of sedition! Not only do these individuals deserve their coming jail sentences, but this also means that a court has ruled that January 6th constitutes sedition. That means everyone else involved in planning it <cough Trump cough> is now part of a seditious conspiracy.
Good news! The bullshit suit against Ed Sheeran has been thrown out. Who cares, it's Ed Sheeran? Well, the premise of this case was that ANY lifting of ANY chord progression constitutes copyright infringement.
Bad news! Clarence Thomas is corrupt as shit! Now, we know that Thomas is corrupt as shit. He is a shit human being from top to bottom.
As Josh Marshall points out, the two previous examples of Harlan Crow lavishing unreported gifts on Thomas could possibly be explained away. The travel was a small additional expense, presuming Crow was going on the private jet/yacht/etcetera already...adding Thomas as a "dear friend" can possibly be waived away. The purchase of Thomas's childhood home can possibly be explained away as a real estate investment by Crow. Huge stretch, but stretchable.
This latest is just flat out unreported gifts, aka bribery. Unlike the travel, the window for amending the reporting has passed. Thomas was the legal guardian of the kid for whom Crow paid tuition. That means that this was a direct gift to Thomas. He didn't report it.
This sure as hell seems like a straightforward "violation of the law" (aka crime).
The bad news? Thomas isn't going anywhere.
