Clarence Thomas ruled in favor of Citizens United.

Harlan Crow and his family's political contributions then went up 862%.

Then we later find out Thomas let Crow take him on lavish trips, buy his mom's house, and help fund his wife's conservative nonprofit.

See how this works?

@rbreich Which is why every SCOTUS decision in which C. Thomas was the deciding vote should be (somehow) held to carry no weight as precedent - a status that would then be inherited by subsequent cases that depended upon that initial case.
