Prof. Richard Painter Interviewed on Detroit Public Radio on Justice Clarence Thomas Ethics Problems

Professor Richard Painter was interviewed on Detroit Today to discuss the new findings revealing that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas failed to financially disclose 20 years worth of luxury trips from a billionaire conservative donor. Professor Painter commented, “If the justice is going to interpret federal statutes, in such a convoluted manner, when they apply to himself, I question whether he is able to interpret those statutes, and the United States Constitution in cases that are binding on the rest of the American people.”
