Well documented ethics violations by Clarence Thomas is going to send shockwaves through the Federalist Society, as they march the judiciary ever further into the oblivion of right wing jurisprudence. 

 

Thomas will have to issue an extra, super duper strong statement that says "I don't know what you're talking about" or "I'll only give a detailed interview on a super Yacht, but my going price is pretty high". This, of course, is likely to happen shortly after SCOTUS issues a ruling granting white children an AR-15 at birth, citing totally legitimate "originalist" views of the Constitution.

Parents sentenced in PSSI, JBS child labor scandal

A judge sentenced two parents for helping their daughter, 14, take a job cleaning machinery in a JBS packing plant.

The Grand Island, Neb. couple pleaded guilty to child abuse by violating state child labor laws, according to a Nebraska Public Media report.

The mother will be under house arrest for two months followed by a year of supervised probation, while the stepfather served a 30-day sentence in Hall County Jail in February. The couple's names have been withheld to protect the identity of the victim.

The child was one of more than 100 minors employed by Packers Sanitation Services Inc. (PSSI), which was subcontracted with JBS USA, which has since terminated the contract.

In February, the Department of Labor fined PSSI $1.5 million for employing more than 100 children across the country to work hazardous jobs.

The case came to light after teachers raised concerns about the student falling asleep during the day and missing class to treat what appeared to be chemical burns, the report said.

An investigation by the Nebraska State Patrol revealed that the mother provided falsified documents claiming her daughter was 22 years old when she was only 14 years and three months old.

The girl worked from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. five to six days a week, cleaning machines used to cut meat before going to school. The earnings remained in her mother's possession.

Charging individuals with child abuse linked to dangerous working conditions is rare in the state. Nebraska Public Media reports only five cases in the last 10 years involving child labor law violations.

The judge acknowledged the shared responsibility of the management of JBS, which "is at blame for hiring a cleaning company such as this to conduct their affairs."

A total of 27 minors were involved in hazardous work at the Grand Island facility. These are the only parents or guardians charged with child abuse.

Does anybody know what the process is to remove a SC Justice?

I think we've seen enough to know Clarence Thomas is not fit to hold the position.

Have to be impeached by the house and convicted by the senate - just like the president

 

And yes I agree - time to get rid of Thomas.  But wt the GOP control of the house it won't happen anytime soon.  

 

Federal judges can only be removed through impeachment by the House of Representatives and conviction in the Senate. Judges and Justices serve no fixed term — they serve until their death, retirement, or conviction by the Senate.

What were to happen if a SCJ was arrested and jailed for tax evasion/fraud?    Would he still need to be impeached to find a replacement?   Or would this just be an 8 judge decision?   Lastly, does this open the door to throw out decisions of the SC that were 5-4, and if so, who makes that decision?
