    Lyndsay Graham should be removed from the judicial committee if he's not prepared to submit to the law.
  • @lucyarroyo6186
    “Justice” Clarence Thomas needs to be removed from Office immediately!
  • @jeftw4256
    The corruption in this country is simply unbelievable! Where is the justice for all these laws being broken ??
  • @gnavrides
    THANK YOU FOR REPORTING ON THIS LAWRENCE!! Some of us out here DID notice!!
  • The media and government officials need to stop saying “No one is above the law.” because it’s proving to not be true. 😡
  • @Leonaza7
    Thomas needs to be removed, or at a minimum, kept from these kinds of decisions on this matter. His wife is in the middle of all of it. We're just pretending at "unbiased" at this point.
  • I am old enough to remember the way he threw Anita Hill under the bus. The way she maintained her dignity and integrity in the face of his lewd, throughly inappropriate cracks, creating a hostile work environment for her, and more. PS And, Thomas STILL wound up on the SCOTUS.
  • @billnroger
    Why aren’t the rest of the Justices doing something about Clarence Thomas’ actions that are disgracing the Supreme Court ? Why?
  • @ca6177
    "The degradation of the Supreme Court is in plain sight", you can't put it any plainer! My goodness!
  • Impeach Thomas. No resignation from the Supreme Court. Impeachment and loss of all benefits. We live in a fascist state in the US.
  • @leitanewman8991
    Feeling beyond disgusted; I've lost all faith in the Supreme Court.
  • @GRJ-uz7kf
    Thanks, O'Donnell. This is HIGHLY important. Why didn't any of the media experts tell us about this statute before? All the experts have led us to believe that recusal was purely an "ethical" matter, that failure to recuse was perfectly legal.
  • @Opus313
    Seems like Clarence prefers to obstruct justice instead of being one...
  • @ericartman0
    We need to stop all lifetime positions in government and we need a better way to nominate and remove supreme court justices.
  • @samuelamoia9782
    I mean can they even be charged with a crime this is insane the way this court is set up it really needs to change and they need to be held accountable
  • Your clear, precise presentation of facts are greatly appreciated. It is so sad that those who should be protecting us have chosen to betray their country and its Democratic laws, according to our Constitution.
  • @winewoman224
    We need to throw out the open contempt of integrity and morals at the Supreme Court. Start with Thomas.
  • @Leonaza7
    Impeach him. He rules on a case in which his wife is deeply involved. This is truly the era of Trump where you make up as you go...Unbelievable.
  • @Spyderredtoo
    It is time and past time to apply the same ethical requirements that all other federal judges must meet.
  • @jsmandrake
    well done Lawrence! It's VERY important to persistently repeat WHAT IS BEING VIOLATED! making this job they're doing ie..to weaken all branches of our gov, its agencies, our administrative state until its small & insignificant enough to be swallowed by the CORPORATE
