Clarence Thomas's problems multiply at Supreme Court

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 10:58:46 GMT

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is facing a fresh round of scrutiny after the third blockbuster report in less than a month links him financially to GOP megadonor Harlan Crow.ProPublica reported Thursday that Crow, a Dallas-based real estate developer, paid thousands of dollars in tuition to a private boarding school for Thomas’s great-nephew, whom Thomas has said he raised “as a son.”Federal ethics laws require the justices to report gifts given to a “dependent child,” but that term is defined to only include the justices’ children or stepchildren. Thomas’s allies have insisted the payment doesn’t violate the disclosure law since it was for Thomas’s sister’s grandson.But the revelation has only added to the increasing pressure from Democrats for the justices to adopt a binding code of ethics.“Today’s report continues a steady stream of revelations calling Justices’ ethics standards and practices into question.

Bruce Brown using “meaningful minutes” alongside Kevin Durant to Nuggets’ advantage against Suns

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 10:58:46 GMT

PHOENIX – As Kevin Durant’s pick-and-roll partner for two years in Brooklyn, Bruce Brown learned many of the preferences, intricacies and minutiae that, combined with Durant’s all-world talent, make him a lethal offensive threat.These days, Brown is doing his best to turn all of that institutional knowledge into defensive stops rather than easy buckets.“I’ve played a lot of minutes with him, a lot of meaningful minutes with him,” Brown said of working with Durant. “Just having conversations on the court with him about where he wants to be, what he wants to get to. I was playing that big-man role, so a lot of pick-and-rolls with him.”That made it all the sweeter when, in Game 2, Durant took Brown off the dribble to the right late in the fourth quarter, pulled up for a jumper and watched — surprised, in all likelihood — as Brown stretched his fingertips high enough to deflect the shot off course.“That was my first time ever blocking his shot,” Brown said. “I used to try really h...
