I'm so disappointed that some Justices are so easily coerced.

I worked decades for the government, and I and my associates could easily see through the efforts of contractors seeking new contracts by trying to befriend us or offer gratuities whenever we happened to be in position to consider new contracts.

That was a turn off for us, because it made us think that they may be offering a flawed product or service, and using coercion to misdirect from that. It's not rocket science.
