A news report claiming that conservative Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas may have violated ethics rules by not disclosing that he accepted luxury vacations from his wealthy friend is the left’s latest attempt to delegitimize the country’s highest court, according to attorney Mark Paoletta.

“They hate Clarence Thomas, and they want to destroy him, and they are trying to make his life miserable,” Paoletta, who is a friend of Thomas, told The Epoch Times. Paoletta represented Thomas’s wife, Ginni Thomas, during the House Jan. 6 panel investigation last year.
