Clarence Thomas to Rule on Federal Reserve Case that enriches his benefactor Harlan Crow

Will the Supreme Court let Trump take control of the Fed?

President Trump’s attempt to remove Lisa Cook from the Federal Reserve board is part of his effort to assert unprecedented control of the economy. — USA Today

• Real estate billionaire, Harlan Crow takes Clarence Thomas on international luxury trips. Buys his mom a house. Pays for Thomas’ son’s education…
• Should Clarence Thomas be ruling on a case involving Lisa Cook and the Federal Reserve’s independence.
• Federal Reserve independence directly governs interest rates. For a massive real estate developer like Harlan Crow and Bill Pulte, even a minor shift in the Fed’s autonomy or rate-setting power can translate to billions in savings or debt costs.
• Clarence Thomas is ethically challenged: He didn’t recuse himself from a case about the deadly January 6th insurrection which his wife Ginni Thomas attended.

Thomas ruling helped real estate billionaire Harlan Crow

While billionaire real estate mogul Harlan Crow was lavishing Supreme Court justice Clarence Thomas with luxury gifts, Thomas voted to strike down federal tenant protections that might hurt the profits of Crow’s company.

Supreme Court justice Clarence Thomas voted to end federal tenant protections that his billionaire benefactor’s company says threatened its real estate profit margins, according to corporate documents reviewed by the Lever. Thomas did not disclose his relationship with real estate billionaire Harlan Crow, nor did he recuse himself from the 2021 case, despite its potential impact on Crow Holdings. — Jacobin

“Bloomberg reported, Thomas did not appear to recuse himself in a 2005 Supreme Court case involving Trammell Crow Residential, in which Crow Holdings owned a minority stake. In the coming months, the rent control issue flagged by Crow Holdings could be before Thomas and the high court. A group of New York landlords are preparing to petition the Supreme Court to overturn the city’s rent stabilization laws after losing a recent case. Such a ruling could endanger rent-control laws nationwide.” — Lever News

Roberts Supreme Court: Packed by billionaires for billionaires

The Supreme Court plans to hear the case of Johnson v. Grants Pass about criminalizing homelessness. The case will decide whether cities are allowed to punish people for things like sleeping outside with a pillow or blanket, even when there are no safe shelter options… An adverse ruling would not only do nothing to end homelessness, but it would also punish people for existing in public in a country that has failed to ensure that everybody has a safe place to sleep. — Johnson v. Grants Pass

Being homeless is not a crime. Or at least it shouldn’t be. Yet all too often in America, society’s least fortunate are deemed criminals and treated as such. The National Homelessness Law Center offers pro bon legal support for those experiencing (or at risk of experiencing) homelessness. The Center collected personal accounts from the homeless to provide a perspective that globe trotting Supreme Court Justices may not be aware of.
