The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
We need more transparency regarding phases. This is getting out of control.
Four was paltering to prep for five. After a hearing enough allegations against the judges, folks will assume there is truth to them even if each individual allegation is spotty and/or meaningless, because where there is smoke there is fire right? Birtherism is good example of that.

Clarence Thomas Had a Child in Private School. Harlan Crow Paid the Tuition.
Quote:
In 2008, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas decided to send his teenage grandnephew to Hidden Lake Academy, a private boarding school in the foothills of northern Georgia. The boy, Mark Martin, was far from home. For the previous decade, he had lived with the justice and his wife in the suburbs of Washington, D.C. Thomas had taken legal custody of Martin when he was 6 years old and had recently told an interviewer he was “raising him as a son.”
Tuition at the boarding school ran more than $6,000 a month. But Thomas did not cover the bill. A bank statement for the school from July 2009, buried in unrelated court filings, shows the source of Martin’s tuition payment for that month: the company of billionaire real estate magnate Harlan Crow.
The payments extended beyond that month, according to Christopher Grimwood, a former administrator at the school. Crow paid Martin’s tuition the entire time he was a student there.
Before and after his time at Hidden Lake, Martin attended a second boarding school, Randolph-Macon Academy in Virginia. “Harlan said he was paying for the tuition at Randolph-Macon Academy as well,” Grimwood said, recalling a conversation he had with Crow during a visit to the billionaire’s Adirondacks estate.
Thomas did not report the tuition payments from Crow on his annual financial disclosures. Several years earlier, Thomas disclosed a gift of $5,000 for Martin’s education from another friend. It is not clear why he reported that payment but not Crow’s.
“Harlan Crow has long been passionate about the importance of quality education and giving back to those less fortunate, especially at-risk youth,” the statement said. “It’s disappointing that those with partisan political interests would try to turn helping at-risk youth with tuition assistance into something nefarious or political.” The statement added that Crow and his wife have “supported many young Americans” at a “variety of schools, including his alma mater.” Crow went to Randolph-Macon Academy.
they are saying since it was his nephew that he didnt need to report it due to the way the law is written
If he legally adopted the kid, that doesn't matter.
But I think we have sufficiently proven that Justice Thomas is not good at financial disclosure paperwork.

Would it make a difference if he had disclosed it?

Sure. He's currently a corrupt liar. If he'd disclosed it, he'd just be plain corrupt.
What actions pushed him over the line into being corrupt?

He takes money, a fuckload of money, from a real estate magnate and Republican advocate while ruling in a perfect line down every item that is or could be on that man's agenda. Sure, that could just be a unrelated. Gravity and shit falling to the ground could also be unrelated.
Also, and I don't think this is corruption, but he's best friends with a Nazi. I'm like my Justices to be non-Nazi-adjacent.

if he were an executive at a publicly traded bank he would be fired today
disclosure wouldn't absolve the conflict of interest
it would be the first step to resignation/termination
why should a supreme court justice be held to a lower standard than a bank CEO
they shouldn't
it should be higher
he should be watched even more closely, and with firmer penalties
like treason to the constitution and the flag
eat the flag, clarence
eat the flag
