Clarence Thomas Political Cartoons!

Today the cartoonists bash Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas! Justice Thomas has recently been embroiled in ethics scandals about very expensive vacations, undisclosed gifts and purchases of property paid for by his buddy, billionaire real estate developer, Harlan Crowe, leading to speculation that Thomas has been selling his votes on the court.

We also remember Thomas's confirmation hearings, decades ago, where he was accused to sexually harassing Anita Hill. Thomas' wife, Ginni has also been controversial as a conservative activist and conspiracy theory believer, who lobbied the White House and state legislators to overturn the presidential election, to turn the election over to VP Mike Pence to presumably decide the election for President Trump on January 6th.

And there were the accusations of workplace sexual harassment made against Thomas by Anita Hill during his confirmation hearings.

We have FOUR great cartoonists today:
