Clarence Thomas, Corruption, and the Future of the Supreme Court
The framers envisioned a judiciary whose role was to check the power of the executive and legislative branches and ensure constitutional\xa0integrity. But what happens if corruption creeps its way into the most powerful court in the land? On today's episode Rick interviews David Brock, a veteran in the political and media landscape, about his new book\xa0Stench: The Making of the Thomas Court and the Unmaking of America. They dive into how Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has influenced major rulings like the Dobbs decision and presidential immunity, and explore the broader ethical concerns surrounding the court. Brock discusses the decades-long conservative efforts to reshape the judiciary, Thomas\u2019s entanglement with wealthy donors, and the urgent need for judicial reform to address the court\u2019s corruption and accountability issues.\nDavid's book,\xa0Stench: The Making of the Thomas Court and the Unmaking of America,\xa0available now.\n\nTimestamps:\n(00:01:50) Stench\n(00:04:04) A vast right wing conspiracy\n(00:08:53) Clarence Thomas\n(00:17:18) Corruption beyond Thomas\n\nFollow Resolute Square:\nInstagram\nTwitter\nTikTok\nFind out more at Resolute Square\nLearn more about your ad choices.
