So according to NYT logic, it’s only corruption if you say out loud “this is a bribe” while accepting the private jet. Otherwise? Totally normal governing, folks. We’re not a democracy anymore—we’re a punchline. #CorruptionIsThePoint #QuidProLOL #SCOTUSForSale #fucktrump

this awful decision on presidential immunity by the #SCOTUSForSale majority has left me in deep grief. I knew how possible it was for this court to do exactly this - give cover to a mentally damaged and criminal ex president. I didn’t want to be right.

I worked in the legal field for 50 years. I have a deep attachment to and appreciation for Justice. Right now, Justice is losing. We are all in peril.

@darwinwoodka @realTuckFrumper They won’t. There’s too much bribe money to be made. #scotusforsale

The message can't be clearer: poor, regular people have to abide by the rules or face consequences like dismissal or jail.

Solution: change the law so nobody has to follow ethic rules just like the corrupt judges

Sorry everyone, but Clarence Thomas can take undisclosed money from whomever he wants and there is little to be done about it

If I win a trip I have to pay income tax on the value of said trip. If I win a prize I pay taxes on the full amount. If I win an incentive all taxes apply. #Ethics #SCOTUSForSale
