Clarence Thomas is a lier and has taken bribes from Trammel Crow for 25 years.
In January 2005, though, the court declined to hear an appeal from an architecture firm that wanted more than $25 million from Trammell Crow Residential Co. for allegedly misusing copyrighted building designs.
Clarence Thomas’s Billionaire Friend Did Have Business Before the Supreme Court
Justice didn’t recuse from rejection of architecture firm case
Harlan Crow said he had no knowledge of or involvement in case
In January 2005, though, the court declined to hear an appeal from an architecture firm that wanted more than $25 million from Trammell Crow Residential Co. for allegedly misusing copyrighted building designs. When the court issued a one-sentence order denying the petition, there were no noted recusals — indicating that Thomas participated — and no noted dissents.
The Crow family had a non-controlling interest in the company at the time, according to a statement to Bloomberg from Harlan Crow’s office. Thomas had already reported a 1997 private flight and high-dollar gifts from Crow, both documented in a December 2004 report from the Los Angeles Times. The justice had described Crow and his wife Kathy as “personal friends.”
Bloomberg reviewed dozens of state and federal cases involving companies that the Crow family has owned or had a financial stake in since Thomas’ 1991 confirmation. Nearly all of these disputes played out at the trial and appellate level and didn’t reach the Supreme Court.

Law firm head bought Gorsuch-owned property
The Supreme Court justice did not report the identity of the purchaser, whose firm has had numerous cases before the court.
The CEO of a BigLaw firm bought property from Neil Gorsuch nine days after his confirmation to the Supreme Court. Gorsuch made $250-$500k.
That BigLaw firm has been involved in 22 Supreme Court cases since, including West Virginia v. EPA.

For nearly two years, Neil Gorsuch sought a buyer for a 40-acre property he co-owned in Colorado.
Nine days after he was confirmed by the Senate to the Supreme Court, he got one: The chief exec of one of America’s biggest law firms with a robust practice before the high court.
Expand the court NOW!
Brian Duffy, the head of Greenberg Traurig, paid $1.825 million for the property, netting Gorsuch between $250K and $500K.
Since then, in the 12 cases where Gorsuch’s opinion is recorded, he sided with Greenberg Traurig clients eight times and against them four times.
Gorsuch did not disclose the identity of the purchaser. That box was left blank.
How many others have shady deals in their past that need to be exposed.
