During his three decades on the Supreme Court, Clarence Thomas has enjoyed steady access to a lifestyle most Americans can only imagine. Each of these men — Novelly, Huizenga, Sokol and Crow — appears to have first met Thomas after he ascended to the Supreme Court. (Crow’s foundation also gave the school $105,000, earmarked for the “Justice Thomas Portrait Fund,” tax filings show.) “Have you met a Supreme Court justice?” Huizenga asked the waitress before she took their order. In 2004, those who donated $100,000 for a table at the main ceremony got 10 seats inside the Supreme Court.
