Justice Thomas complained about salary to GOP lawmaker, new ProPublica report says

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas complained about his salary to a Republican lawmaker almost a decade into his tenure, telling him that at least one justice could resign if they didn't get a raise, according to a ProPublica report published Monday.

On a flight home from a conservative conference in January 2000, Thomas spoke with a GOP lawmaker who left the conversation worried that Thomas might step down from his post, according to the report.

Thomas was hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt and becoming increasingly frustrated with his financial standing, according to ProPublica. While he made the equivalent of $300,000 today, other members of the court were much wealthier.

According to the report, Thomas told the lawmaker that if Congress didn't bump salaries, "one or more justices will leave soon." Thomas had also repeatedly talked with other people about removing a ban on justices giving paid speeches, per ProPublica.

But in the years that followed ... Thomas accepted a stream of gifts from friends and acquaintances that appears to be unparalleled in the modern history of the Supreme Court," ProPublica wrote.
