  1. I wish he could be convicted of bribery and corruptionn charges

  2. That’s only $126,316 a year. Thomas is a cheap asset. More reason to find him corrupt as fuck.

  3. I’m sure he declared it all on his taxes… No way he would be a multi-decade tax criminal felon who thinks nothing of the rule of law… No way! Barrett tells me all justices are committed to the highest standards of integrity.. I mean. That’s either true, or she thinks we’re all idiots that she can lie to without repercussion (I mean, unless, in the off chance, she’s a feckless idiot, lacking basic judgment…. There *is* that…)… Our “leader” on the court, Mr. Roberts, would *never* allow for such a disgrace! Otherwise, he would go down in history as one of the most negligent and incompetent fools in history! Can’t be that, right?

    Fuck these pathetic illegitimate, negligent, wicked-little-children in dresses!

  4. ‘Gifts’ is a funny way to spell ‘wheel-greasing-bribes’.

  5. It’s clear that both Alito and Thomas are tools for the right. Reliable votes for even the most obvious cases that put politics before the Constitution. 

  9. Where is the DOJ investigation? Where is the senate investigation? Why is everyone just completely fucking ignoring this?

  11. In hindsight, the people who trusted robed nobles to act befitting the power granted them seem incredibly naive.

  14. I gifted the homeless guy at my local 7-11 for about 20 years. Should I report him?

  15. This is egregious, it should be one the biggest scandals of the past decade, and yet… I fully expect him to continue serving until the day he croaks and that is so embarrassing for our judiciary.

  17. Our system of checks and balances has been bought and broken.

  18. Nothing going to happen , this shit is all over DC regardless of political party or 3 letter agency .

  19. Insane. Look at that graph. None of the Justices should be receiving gifts, but he is far and away WAY at the top.

  20. Wasn’t he and his wife popping $5k bottles of champagne when Trump won?

    I know justices make a lot of money, but not $5k bottles because someone won the presidency money. 

  21. Meanwhile I can lose my teaching license if I accept a gift worth more than $50.

  22. He’s investigated himself and found it was his religious freedom to be bribed.

    Praise be.

  24. This is just the stuff they were able to track, which is mostly self-reported. And we know he hasn’t been reporting everything.

  25. Idgaf what side of the political spectrum you chose to be in. This should be completely unacceptable to everyone in the entire country! Why aren’t we protesting tf out of this garbage?! What the fuck do the first words of the US constitution say?! Why are we selling our country to the highest bidder?! Fuck these billionaires and their “gifts” they can give. This country isnt a commodity to the people with money!!

  27. I am guessing that doesn’t cover Corrupt Clarence’s full take.

  30. Neat! Now if only there were some recourse for corrupt officials.

    I wish I was /s-ing.

  32. so when the fuck are WE the people going to do something about it?!!!!

  33. We just need to accept that for the foreseeable future our highest court will act corruptly because it has been irreversibly corrupted, and that this is Trump’s greatest legacy.

  34. He knew he was supposed to report it, and pay taxes on it. He is a criminal tax fraud.

  37. Why can’t he just do humanity a favor and just croak already!?!

  38. Remember that time he pontificated out loud to the press that he didn’t make enough money to stay on the Court? And then all the sudden he had very rich friends? That was in 2001.

  39. “The rule of law” is virtually non-existent in this country if you’re wealthy or powerful enough. Ethics? What are those? How does anyone even teach a civics class without saying that the American experiment has failed, and that we need to just start over?

  40. Just remove him from his position clearly he is biais and sold to a tooth. Anyone heard about laws?

  41. And yet I cant accept a pen from a medical equipment rep…

  45. And did he pay any taxes on them, or even property report them? I doubt it.

  46. Those are just the reported bribes, I mean gifts!

  47. No wonder he didn’t accept Jon Oliver’s offer, Oliver was outbid by a wide margin
