Justice Clarence Thomas Faces Renewed Scrutiny Over Decades-Old Salary Complaint

Critics Argue ProPublica's Coverage is Part of a Larger Campaign to Undermine Conservative Justices and the Supreme Court

ProPublica has published a new article scrutinizing Justice Clarence Thomas' financial life, focusing on a decades-old complaint he made about his salary.
The article suggests that Thomas' complaint sparked discussions about raising justices' salaries, but critics argue that the piece lacks evidence of any unethical behavior on Thomas' part.
Thomas, one of the least wealthy members of the Supreme Court, has been a consistent target of media scrutiny, with critics accusing ProPublica of engaging in activism rather than journalism.
The articles argue that the ProPublica piece is part of a broader campaign to undermine conservative justices and delegitimize the Supreme Court.
Despite the criticisms, Thomas' detractors have yet to provide any instance where he has deviated from his long-held legal philosophy of adherence to the Constitution as written.
