    Trump put the fear a Jesus in him early and it paid dividends the later it gets.

    Previously undisclosed private jet flight to New Zealand by GOP megadonor Harlan Crow in 2010.

    Senate Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden said US Customs and Border Protection records reviewed by the committee showed Thomas and his wife, Virginia “Ginni” Thomas, flew from Hawaii to New Zealand on Crow’s jet on November 19, 2010, and then returned on the jet a week later.

    Clarence Thomas’ Forgiven RV Loan Isn’t Just an Ethics Issue


    Rich guy loans money to Thomas for an RV. Then forgives the debt.

    The word for this is bribe.

    This is in addition to the straight up sedition by his wife.

    Add to this the mysterious debt repayments that Kavenaugh made.

    The grift continues.
    AOC put that and Alito on papers:

    https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTNpKGFVq/

    Rs - have 6 Justices to 3 Dems. This could flip to 5 Dem Justices (Merrick Garland??) To 4 for the Rs.

    Then they need to go get Kavanaugh punkass

    in principle, judges can be prosecuted for crimes.

    it would be odd if Supreme Court justices were above the law, wouldn't it?

    LOL just two months ago. Pretty sure there is no such law for them.

    https://www.scotusblog.com/2024/06/s...i-bribery-law/

    Supreme Court limits scope of anti-bribery law

    The Supreme Court on Wednesday ruled that a federal anti-bribery law does not make it a crime for state and local officials to accept a gratuity for acts that they have already taken. Writing for a six-justice majority, Justice Brett Kavanaugh explained that state and local governments already regulate gifts to officials, and so the federal law “does not supplement those state and local rules by subjecting 19 million state and local officials to up to 10 years in federal prison for accepting even commonplace gratuities.”

    The question came to the court in the case of James Snyder, the former mayor of Portage, Ind., who was convicted and sentenced to 21 months in prison for violating the federal law at the center of the case, known as Section 666. That law bars state and local government officials from “corruptly” accepting “anything of value of any person, intending to be influenced or rewarded” for an official act. In 2014, Snyder received $13,000 from a truck company that had recently received contracts totaling over $1 million for new trash trucks for the city. Snyder maintains that the payment was for consulting services, but federal prosecutors called it an illegal gratuity.

    Justice Barrett and the libs didn't think so, but yeah. Remains to be seen if that holds up for federal officers besides Donald Trump; it kind of makes sense that eventually the Supreme Court would make bribery legal for judges and high officials too.

    They are screaming about Biden wanting some sort of ethics laws for SCOTUS.

    what kind of evil jackass is against holding judges to a firm code of ethics?

    can't see the tweet. Assume it is lazy, given your overall lack of effort generally.

    He is a useless , unable to evaluate his underlying assumptions, even when shown he is being lied to.
