I have nothing against Thomas, but I really don't like the idea of billionaire $$$ influencing judges

From the NYT today FWIW:

Starting tomorrow, Fox News is scheduled to be on trial. Dominion Voting Systems, which makes voting machines, is suing the cable news network for $1.6 billion. Dominion claims that Fox spread a false conspiracy theory that its machines were rigged against Donald Trump in the 2020 election.

The trial had been set to start today, but the judge overseeing the case announced a one-day delay last night. Fox may be seeking to settle the case before a trial can begin, The Wall Street Journal reported.

We have already seen some of the evidence for Dominion’s side. Texts and emails uncovered through the lawsuit show that several of Fox’s executives, hosts and producers privately doubted the claims against Dominion, which were promoted by Trump, but amplified them on the air anyway.

Even with this evidence, Dominion may not have an easy time winning the case because of legal protections for media companies. Those protections were established by a 1964 Supreme Court ruling, New York Times v. Sullivan, based on the First Amendment’s safeguards for freedom of speech and the press. The ruling requires that defamation lawsuits by public figures against media companies prove “actual malice,” meaning that journalists must have known an allegation was false but broadcast it anyway or have acted so recklessly that they overlooked the facts.

“It is an incredibly high bar to prove,” said my colleague Katie Robertson, who is covering the lawsuit.

The case will test whether Fox’s brand of journalism — which includes a long record of spreading falsehoods (such as about where Barack Obama was born) — is legally vulnerable.

As usual your inaccurate info and lack of self awareness are stunning.

Have at it, a lot of major philanthropy goes unnoticed by the public.  I see a ton of it around here.  Whatever they do that is completely selfish I don't usually know about.

Either way, "they" can exert a lot of influence, positive or negative, it's inherent.

Why would I complain about a group who's focus is "human rights?"

It's so revealing that of a list of 10, you guys pick out that one.  I bet there aren't many mirrors in your houses, are there?
