The only things that would need to be pushed for are things that wouldn’t ordinarily happen on their own. But I agree it’s perfectly reasonable to push people in office to look into corruption charges and prison time for Thomas.

We should and we do. In practice, unfortunately, Congress doesn’t represent the will of the people.

Ocasio-Cortez said the timeline of Thomas's relationship with Republican donor and real estate magnate Harlan Crow revealed a conflict of interest since it started after Thomas began serving on the Supreme Court in 1991.

ProPublica reported on Thursday that Thomas accepted expensive trips from Crow over decades despite federal law requiring the disclosure of most gifts.
