    Obviously a private citizen named Hunter Biden getting luxurious gifts from wealthy benefactors is the end of the republic. An active USSC Justice getting luxurious gifts from wealthy benefactors is perfectly fine and normal.

    Os trig and co views bribery/corruption with a D/R lens. Since Thomas is part of the r team, what he's doing isn't that bad

    He's just waiting on what Jonathan Turley's opinion on the matter is.

    The sad thing is our system of checks and balance is near useless when near half the nation supports this brazen corrupt behavior of a $cotu$ that is conservative

    This is what Washington and other Founders feared. It was something that Washington warned about in his farewell address. The Founders were very leery of concentration of power but even by the end 1790's they could see how partisanship could to the very concentration of powers that they tried to limit.

    If you accepts bribe gifts, you shall be excluded in any court cases involving the givers. Is that too much to ask for? @CJ_Robert? @USCongress?

    I can just see these two corrupt a$$ scouts use that sht excuse that they asked each other for legal advice and agreed that there's nothing wrong accepting free gifts

    The righteous right-wing media would never do such a thing.

    Don't give Project Veritas any ideas. They'll touch up the photo of Sotomayor at Yankee Stadium and say she received benefits (a good time, maybe a beer) from the MLB
