Waldo JaquithJustice Neil Gorsuch tried to sell his Colorado house and 40 acres of land. Two years went by, nothing. Then he was appointed to the Supreme Court. Nine days later, he sold the property to the CEO of Greenberg Traurig, one of the nation's largest law firms that routinely has cases before the Supreme Court. Gorsuch declared the sale on his next financial disclosure report, but left blank the box labeled "Identity of buyer/seller." https://www.politico.com/news/2023/04/25/neil-gorsuch-colorado-property-sale-00093579
Perhaps it’s a bombastic and partisan position to take, but I think it is bad to have Supreme Court justices who are above the law and appear to be accepting bribes. I’m against it.
I forecast that we’re a few months away from it becoming a Republican talking point that it’s Actually Good for (Republican) Supreme Court justices to accept bribes and be above the law. This is what the founders intended, etc.
