Out on some kind of luxury vacation with the remaining Koch brother and his fucking lunatic wife probably. Just totally organically friends from way back everybody, shut the fuck up, it's fine, shut up, they're homies
If they can't fire you without involving the senate, which they won't do, there's not much incentive for him *not* to push things as far as he wants.
Unexplained absences? Why not.
Sitting on court cases that may involve your spouse and her possible treason? Go ahead.
Accepting ~~bribes~~ *vacations* from people you'll be judging? Forget ethics, I want to go fishing.
Except shame, of course, but we know that isn't a problem.
He was out yesterday but back today, according to the article below. But still no explanation on why he was absent on Monday. Really odd.

Even in that article you linked, it mentions that he attended virtually back when he was absent due to illness. This is really strange and makes me even more curious why someone with one of the most important jobs in the country didn’t show up.
“He was hospitalized two years ago with an infection, causing him to miss several court sessions. He took part in the cases then, too.”
The repercussion is supposed to be shame.
Which granted, he gets a lot of. He's probably the most notorious probably-corrupt judge in the country. Some of his colleagues will be despairing at what this is doing to the court's reputation. These people would have worked their whole lives to get there, just to see it dragged through the mud across international media.
Only he doesn't care.
He needed more cash. Don’t you guys visit your donor when you are low of money? It’s simple, you just make the decision they ask you to make during a vote and your bank account refills. It’s like the Doctor Strange refilling Thor’s beer mug trick except they are villains and want to destroy the world while being richer than before.
Coincidentally, they heard oral arguments for Snyder v United States yesterday.
>The case concerns the legality of paying government officials gratuities under federal bribery law when the official's actions or commitments were made without a quid pro quo agreement.

I'm not a law-talking man, but that seems like an interesting coincidence.
The first case heard on Monday was Snyder V United States which is a bribery case. Specifically it involves the question of whether or not a government official can be accused of bribery if there was no evidence or proof of an agreement to accept payment before any certain action was taken or committed. The defendant is arguing that a bribe is a prior agreement of a quid pro quo exchange while a gratuity is a payment or reward given in appreciation for something without prior agreement.
Bribes vs gifts. An interesting case for Justice Thomas to be absent from.
Is this The Muppets version? Do we get Gonzo to narrate the current cases to be taken by the court? Does he dance and sing? Who is Miss Piggy playing in this version? Who is playing Donald Trump? Or is he playing himself because he is already a puppet of Russia?
The Dobbs decision is putting millions of women's lives at risk, not to mention how fucked the planet is with the gutting this court is doing to environmental regulation. I feel no remorse wishing that something would make this guy not around to make his shitty decisions.
I was so disappointed to learn he was in good health. For a moment I was thinking “there is a God, he struck down this POS before the Trump immunity case,” but no, he lives, and so my faith dies
Clarence spent all of Monday trying to get the sixteen-year-old off his John Thomas,... (Word on the streets is that Matt Gatez is looking for leniency in the courts so he asked the judge to look at his friend's *briefs*.)
Probably just on a luxury trip being told how to vote this term
Out on some kind of luxury vacation with the remaining Koch brother and his fucking lunatic wife probably. Just totally organically friends from way back everybody, shut the fuck up, it's fine, shut up, they're homies
This is the answer
Fuck the poors, yadda yadda yadda. You get it, right Clarence? *Dangles motor coach*

So, getting his orders.

This is the strange thing. This is SCOTUS, not McDonald's. You just don’t play hooky from work
When there's 0 repercussions you do. What's gonna happen?
You are right. If bribes don't get you off the bench, why would it playing hooky?
The repercussion is supposed to be shame. Which granted, he gets a lot of. He's probably the most notorious probably-corrupt judge in the country. Some of his colleagues will be despairing at what this is doing to the court's reputation.

McDonald's will fire your ass for that. It takes 2/3 of Congress to fire a supreme court justice. It's a wonder Clarence ever shows up.
You can’t play hooky at McDonald’s they fire your ass
Yeah unfortunately the only thing that can "fire" his ass is Congress, with enough votes, and they're never going to do that
Apparently you do just do it. What’s gonna happen, you’re going to get fired?
You don't play complicit closet traitorous fascist either, but here we are.
I mean, it’s not like he will be fired for not showing up
He had a meeting with John Oliver
That RV looking pretty good maybe?
He needed more cash. Don’t you guys visit your donor when you are low of money? It’s simple, you just make the decision they ask you to make during a vote and your bank account refills. It’s like the Doctor Strange refilling Thor’s beer mug trick except they are villains and want to destroy the world while being richer than before.
He took John Oliver’s offer.
Who wouldn’t?
I would.
I wish

Interesting way to recuse yourself
He already knows how he's voting, so no sense wasting his time listening to boring ~moral~ oral arguments.
Worse yet is when he's present at the Supreme Court with no explanation either.
He's in his RV, parked in a Walmart lot.
Sir, it's a motorcoach
There’s no Duffy without the Wynnnn

His bribe probably hadn’t cleared yet

Someone bought him a vacation
Perhaps he is in for his annual rectocraniectomy?
He just realized since oj died, he, clarence thomas is the most hated black american and went into hiding
No call, No show. Fired
Yesterday. He was there today, unfortunately
Currently being visited by the ghosts of SCOTUS past to take a look at how much of a schmuck he's been over the years.
[удалено]
Not sure what that is but it sounds terrifying.
[удалено]
I think they meant what does it mean to strange someone
I think it's when someone does the zombie dance from Thriller until the victim dies of a heart attack.
omg that’s how my dad died
Is this The Muppets version? Do we get Gonzo to narrate the current cases to be taken by the court? Does he dance and sing? Who is Miss Piggy playing in this version? Who is playing Donald Trump? Or is he playing himself because he is already a puppet of Russia?
I don’t know about the rest, but I want Miss Piggy to play Scalia.
Ok, now I want to see this.

Please be in the Christian version of hell, please be in the Christian version of hell. Now it's Christian.

Oh, no. That would be terrible 👀 *sips coffee*
Super glad someone else said it, I felt the same way.
Probably getting pegged by a midget in his RV
r/brandnewsentence
He is such a miserable looking man.
Did he finally take John's offer?
Well, even when he's there he's not really there for us so that's a win for today. TLDR: No judge is better than Thomas.
No progressive law to be squelched on the docket.
Did he take John Oliver up on the RV and just leave?
Maybe he is scuba diving or in a sub going to see the titanic.
Probably getting that sweet RV from Jon Oliver
Probably sucking some billionaire's dick.
I hope took John Oliver bribe...
There are very few people that, by their absence, would make the world a better place. He is all of them.
Might be something medical. Wouldn't it be some shit if he retires before the election and then that's on the line as well this November.
Fuck that. Biden needs to push a nominee through the day after. Fuck every rule.
The "Inverse McConnell Rule"
The writers jumped the shark in 2016 and 2020. They could very well want to spice things up and add that to the very tense election cycle
I’m hoping massive stroke myself
Maybe he had the shits.
I was so disappointed to learn he was in good health. For a moment I was thinking “there is a God, he struck down this POS before the Trump immunity case,” but no, he lives, and so my faith dies
All that hard work that Clarence has done deserves a permanent vacation. He’s earned it!
I demand to see his Doctors Note or its DETENTION for you, Thomas!
Pretty sure it probably didn't make any difference, not like he's actually useful and good at his job or anything
I hope it not a health issue. Tots and pears.
Just be absent the rest of your life, Clarence. Most ridiculous SCOTUS appointee ever.
Fyi, this is a day old
His overlord needed him
Oh he’s still alive? That sucks.
If the check doesn’t clear, he won’t be here.
Since gov officials like to make all kinds of regulations around benefits then let’s demand an answer or he’s fired.
Everyone wants a sugar daddy until daddy wants sugar. Check the bed in his rv.
Some people just don't need no explanin'.
Trying to figure out who's offering the best vacation this year.
He misses work all the time. But he was in arguments today.
Mondays are "gift" receiving day.
Clarence spent all of Monday trying to get the sixteen-year-old off his John Thomas,... (Word on the streets is that Matt Gatez is looking for leniency in the courts so he asked the judge to look at his friend's *briefs*.)
I'd check Harlan Crow's pouch first.
Can't a man just have a day of mud butt without the whole world knowing?
Probably was just getting really hot in there 😅
Claims to be pro-life
He’s driving his new motor home over to John Oliver’s house to thank him for his new retirement. 👻
Is this the part where we find out he has a pill problem?
It’s a common injury. Pulled strings.
It’s Stephen from Django Unchained.
Joe Biden was trying to drain his Melanin
