TL;DR Summary

Justice Clarence Thomas' claim that his billionaire sponsor Harlan Crow did not have any business before the Supreme Court during his tenure is inaccurate. A conservative organization affiliated with Crow had business before the court while Thomas was on the bench, and Crow has been connected to groups that have lobbied the court through "amicus briefs." In 2003, Thomas issued a dissenting opinion that heavily sided with the anti-regulation stance taken by the Club for Growth, which was supported by Crow. Democrats are demanding action over the latest reports of Thomas' corruption.
