Clarence Thomas the last 20 years:
2005 - Chevron is correct
2005-2024 - receives $4 million in secret gifts from real estate developers and polluters and other right-wingers who’ve made reversing Chevron one of their highest priorities
2024 - Chevron is wrong
Adherence to Chevron also directly related to who the administration is at the time. "I like this administration, and think we should defer to its determinations." "I don't like this one and don't think we should." Naked partisanship.
It’s no coincidence that the actual Chevron case was about the Reagan administration trying to institute *less* EPA enforcement. It’s also not a coincidence that Neil Gorsuch’s mother was literally the EPA administrator at that time.
"Advance gratuities" - right? Thomas is probably chiding himself about all the time he wasted, agonizing over how to make bribing a Supreme Court Justice look 'legit' - when apparently he could've just pocketed the goods openly and given the American public both middle fingers all along...
But, but Clarence is allowed to have friends! What kind of psychopath would expect a poor, humble, servant of the people to carry his mighty burden friendless? Or indigent? 🥺
🤢🤮
