No, not a repost. This is EVEN MORE corruption.
- "It wouldn't be a problem if people just stopped looking!"
  Roberts, probably
  
  Stop the count?
- "But wait, there's more!"
Because I work in government I have to declare any gift with a value over $50. I also have no power over anything without 5 levels of oversight and this guy is chins deep in bribes and can overrule decades of precedent that affect millions. FFS.
- I don't work for the government, but it's somewhat the same range for me (in Germany). And that's how it should be in every job. Especially if you have any power.
The hits just keep on coming.
SCOTUS looks and acts like a den of thieves. They make the Mos Eisley Cantina look decent. One way to regain any credibility is for the entire SCOTUS to be suspended and all their judgements stayed till the DOJ completes a full investigation on every sitting SCOTUS judge for corruption.
- At this point, the DOJ can investigate, find evidence for 1,000 separate instances of Thomas taking bribes from Russia, and he’ll still be sitting on the bench unless the GQP decides that the laws of the land are more important than their team. Don’t hold your breath.
