only jim crow is alive. the story doesn't quite end there. far right and in 1946 the clan stepped up its efforts to terrorize the homeowners and this caused him to continue his investigation of the clan. that year in 1946, the clan burned crosses in the homes across southern california and it also burned a cross inside of the jewish fraternity. in 1946, he began calling the clan members into his office. butsu again, the results were disheartening for those seeking justice. he found no evidence of the so-called vigilante activity to be directed at the african-americants community wee against mr. short personally. many people wondered if the response was linked to the bid for governor that year. he went up against earl warren and was defeated. what he did do with the help of a superior court judge is to revoke the charter by making it unlawful for the organization and they knew that this was largely symbolic because in the 1950s the activities resumed. and here you have a pitcher from 1962 with new racial intimidation and you can read the capti

two trips to dallas, texas, and another one where he vacationed with harlan crow many, many years upery expensive estate where clarence thomas has summered. these were first reported by pro republica, but this is a report in april that showed lots of really lavish travel that the justice has had taken, but the first time on the forms, and taking place in the backdrop of the new scrutiny of the supreme court justices, and the lack of transparency and the lack of a formal ethics code, boris. and let me tell you one more thing that we got today in addition to the reports that i wanted to add in this first part is what clarence thomas' lawyer said about this filing. he said that the attacks on justice thomas are nothing less than ridiculous and dangerous, and they set a terrible precedent for political blood sport through federal ethics filings. his lawyer said that clarence thomas has always tried to be up front about what he had to file, and it is just that he now knows more about what he should file, and in actuality, boris, there have been some confusion in the rules about personal h

you think harlan crow doesn't have an opinion on that? where do you think crow's been spending his money this summer talking to clarence thomas about it? the other big issue here is one of thomas' things, i think you mentioned, is that he needed to do this for private security. the security in the upcoming budget has requested $783 million in extra security funds because people have noticed how ridiculous they are, right? so if thomas is saying he needs to take private planes to have increased security, my question so thomas is, can we have that money back then? because securely -- surely $783 million, we can use that money to provide, i don't know, student debt relief to people who don't have rich republican donors buying their mother's house and paying tuition for their secret sons, right? the republicans believe in privatization, right? if harlan crow is willing to do this for clarence thomas surely he'd be willing to extend security to all america's fine supreme court justices and not just his pets, right? so at some point, the public

we know harlan crow did. >> what they have had our different petitions.ovelly did at some point in a case he was involved in was being appealed to the supreme court. however, when exactly that took place in relation to his relationship his vacations with justice thomas, it seemed that actually happened -- that case happened before their friendship turned into a vacation relationship. what each of them had is a stake in court cases because of the industry they are in. so anything to do with regulated industries, tax law, tax decisions, environmental decisions -- all of these could bear major impact on the industries in which they work. so, no, we have not yet found any direct cases that their companies have had before the supreme court but mostly just their industries. amy: propublica reports financial records from the horatio alger us association archives show the group has been fundraising off of an event hosted by justice thomas inside the supreme court building. explain. >> that is unique arrangement. even the fact this is in event hosted by the suprem

there were two trips on crow's plane.as sold to crow, transactions that were not previously disclosed by the justice but had been revealed by propublica's justice elliot who had led the investigations into bill yan airs. in looking at these amended disclosures does that lay to rest the ethics concerns surrounding the justices? >> it certainly answers some questions. i mean this is the first time we've gotten an extensive statement from justice thomas. as mentioned he actually admitted for the first time he failed to tis close this real estate deal he sold properties in georgia to harlan crow, this wealthy businessman and political donor also his friend. it's the first time in 25 years he's disclosed private jet flights provided by harlan crow last year. i think disclosure is one level of it. the other level is whether public officials should be accepting this private jet travel or free vacations from anyone. we've spoken to a lot of federal judges at this point who say they can't imagine taking anything like this. some of

so -- eddie: how did the rise of jim crow impact douglas? david: the rise of jim crow in the early 19th century really had an impact on him because douglas got thrown off lots of trains, he got jim crow to more times in his life than he could ever count by hotels, taverns, restaurants, trains, stagecoaches, it got to be a source of humor for him at times. sorry. but later, the time we often talk about, the rise of jim crowe, douglas luce to see it. he lives from 1895, mississippi passes the first disenfranchisement line 1890. douglas lives to see the beginnings of bitter segregation in the late 1980's and into the 1900s. he doesn't see it enter for wishon in the 20th century, but he sees it. nothing about it, as much as i could tell, surprises him because he had experienced all of the antebellum jim crow over and over and over. although, he always referred to things like being jim crowed or a form of segregation, legal or otherwise, as another variation of proslavery ideas. he would just call it their proslavery vision reconstructed. the pro

where harlan crow paid for all his meals.free meals and lodging in the adir adirondacks? he is still taking free trips. once you become accustomed to a lifestyle like that, you think you're entitled to it. i'm not sural that that he'll stop. maybe he'll have to disclose it because of the updated guidelines that forced the disclosure of these trips from 2022. but i don't know that he'll have the gumption to stop taking them. the one good thing that i think we can take away from today, nicolle, there is a new era here. this is first time i ever got a breaking news alert about one of these annual financial disclosures from a supreme court justice. that's a good thing for transparency. >> it says a whole lot about the kind of journalism that propublica did. and they never went beyond the four corners of what the documents that they were basing their journalism on revealed. but they also never got any pushback on the veracity or accuracy of what the documents revealed about these gifts. you're right. a whole new era. brian fallon,

and he was the attorney for or defending jim crow and his big argument was the wars. the law is very clear. the law to him was plessy business. the law is very clear. so they're not arguing against the law. they're arguing against the way of life. and of course, the only case among the five, remember, one was briggs davis was coming out of virginia. bolton out of washington, d.c. gebhart, the delta and out of delaware. and the brown case was coming out of kansas. the only non southern state. so i'll believe the story that it is decision that been made you know to nullify john w davis's arguments. the the brown case. now some people have other views about that i'm holding on to mine and because somebody proved me wrong, let me say thurgood marshall. yes. now history treats him as greatest lawyer of, the 20th century. it's well-deserved. he is remarkable. he tried many of his most important cases in front of judge waring. he won every case. the only one he didn't win initially was briggs versus elliott. but waring dissented from a three judge panel. and he that case bef

i know harlan crow. he's one of the most honorable people i know.'t believe for a moment he tried to bribe or influence clarence thomas. i completely understand the appearance of ethical problems that clarence thomas got himself into, particularly with the real estate thing. all of that said, the fact that clarence thomas' lawyers said this is political blood sport doesn't mean it's not true. if you extend the metaphor of blood sport is covered in partisan blood, he is not ex exactly a straight shooter or honest broker in these kinds of things. there is a disdouble standard suns the supreme court has moved into a conservative majority to cover this stuff, to question legitimacy of the court that we did not see before and if done in previous eras, if this was a liberal majority, how dare you delegitimize the court. we hear that every other institution from the right. but when it happens from the left, when it happens, and there's been north mouse numbers of really terrible journalistic hit jobs on clarence thomas that don't get the attention because

disclosure forms, did clarence remember to list all those fancy trips and vacations paid for by harlan crow this time? stick around to find out. >> but we begin tonight with fact versus fiction. reality versus a reality show. when it comes to donald trump, you know which side he tends to come down on. trump seems convinced that he can make people believe the world is actually flat. his embrace of lies, conspiracy theories and alternative facts underscores most of his legal woes. in court filings today in the georgia election interference case, trump pleaded not guilty and opted to waive his right to an arraignment next week. he also requested to sever his case from any of his 18 codefendants who are demanding speedy trials. also today, the judge in the georgia case, scott mcafee, announced cameras would be allowed in the courtroom for all hearings and proceedings. they will also be livestreamed on youtube. so that's fun. as to trump's ivoidance of his arraignment, perhaps he's too busy preparing those bizarre and random social media posts he's been posting that show he continues to live in

in investigating anything crow may or may not have -- and it's the most important textual case in the constitution is congress' express power to impeach supreme court justices. maybe we don't all agree on the stories in the revelations in the propublica reporting gives rise to an impeachable offense with the notion that congress decided that question and to investigate whether individual justices have engaged in conduct is horrifying to me in the separation of powers but also a .erfect illustration as a civics textbook person myself -- >> did you say the civics tests -- civics textbook? >> the civics test -- textbook. >> there's a mechanism on the other side of that regardless of how that came out called an election in which the person could be held accountable. there is no mechanism for all of us. two-way andti at election time n clarence thomas and this goes back o to what you mentioned i guess one person read it. you are the king of law school. >> bobby is remarkably not on twitter. you are on line and he is not period not to be accused with the initial statement from texas. >> i'm
