Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is reportedly facing a lawsuit alleging a failure to pay taxes.

With questions already being raised about Thomas and the other Supreme Court justices when it comes to determining whether they are following ethics rules, John Anthony Castro weighs in to explain his legal action, Newsweek reports.

“Castro, a long-shot Republican presidential candidate and tax attorney who filed a flurry of lawsuits seeking to remove former President Donald Trump from the GOP primary ballot, told Newsweek that he is filing suit against Thomas in a Virginia court under the Virginia Fraud Against Taxpayers Act (VFATA),” the outlet reported. “Although he mailed the complaint to the court on Friday, he expects it to take two business days for the court to process and file the case.”

    What? You don’t have self-interested billionaires on speed dial too? It’s not so tough - all you’ll need is a lifetime appointment to the highest decision-making panel in the nation. And all it’ll cost is… well, your soul, morals, ethics (assuming they exist in the 1st place) and dignity.

      I decided to do a very little bit of math. That loaned amount is 0.026723% of one billion dollars.

      If your net worth was about US$375,000.00, like a pretty normal person, that would be like loaning a friend US$100.00.
