I'm absolutely certain that no Republican would have any problem with a liberal SCOTUS Justice accepting dozens of trips, private flights and other benefits from wealthy people who bring cases before SCOTUS. Right?

@augieray

They wouldn't care as long as 1) all the money was coming from the right, and/or 2) they have a super right wing majority SCOTUS in perpetuity.

With one of those “private jets” being an “entire” Boeing 737. 🤬

@augieray they would be rightly screaming in outrage.

@augieray but are silent when their own side does it.

@augieray Anyone who has an ounce of respect for the law would resign - wait, they wouldn’t be in this situation if they had any respect for the law. Vote Blue

Clarence Thomas’ 38 Vacations: The Other Billionaires Who Have Treated the Supreme Court Justice to Luxury Travel

The fullest accounting yet shows how Thomas has secretly reaped the benefits from a network of wealthy and well-connected patrons that is far more extensive than previously understood.

@kegill @augieray @glennf @ProPublica One wonders what you get for first dibs on the top table "bought" judge will ALL his decisions get RECHECKED? I mean being reasonable one might be honestly made?

@augieray @glennf I tell ya, one of the liberal justices needs to take one for the team and start accepting this stuff… just ONE trip would do it and the right would freak. Only problem is they’d find a way to band gifts for only left-leaning justices, not the entire court.

@augieray Of course not. They’re well known for their fair and balanced reactions.

@augieray ah, yes, those extremely common left wing wealthy people who bring cases before the court that expand people's rights.

I'm sure they're endlessly lobbying the supreme court for favours.
