Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) was awaiting Justice Thomas' disclosures at 4:30 p.m. He tweets: "Pretty crazy that the Scotus does a pre-memorial day friday dumping of its financial forms."
The forms disclosed information about Thomas' role on the board of the Horatio Alger Association and that he made $10,000 for a speech at the University of Minnesota.
