Justice Clarence Thomas' acceptance of lavish gifts stretches back decades, per a new NYT report.
These include his 1987 wedding reception, paid for by a friend before he joined the Supreme Court, it said.
In its latest report, the Times detailed lavish gifts, some of which pre-date Thomas' time on the Supreme Court.
"And, in return, he opened up the Supreme Court."
Thomas is far from the only Supreme Court Justice to have received expensive gifts in the course of their tenure.
