If the other justices are aware of his behaviour (as they are now), and dont do anything about it, they’re complicit.
“We want you to betray the people you swore an oath to protect.”
“What’s in it for me?”
“Money, of course. First class golfing trips with all the bells and whistles. Plus the everlasting title of Uncle Tom among the peasants… I mean populace.”
“I’ll take it.”
“Good. As expected. We knew you were weak.”At this point, I’m assuming that that was actually counted as one of his qualifications - that back when they were vetting nominees, he got high marks in bribability.
Honestly, at this point, he & Alito both are essentially throwing us the finger & daring anyone to really do anything about it.
It’s open corruption, we already have bought and sold judges who flat out lied in the legislator that they would respect established precident
It takes congressional impeachment to bring any consequences whatsoever, right? So basically it’s impossible for them to suffer anything. Of course they’re throwing the middle finger.
Thomas looks like he enjoys a good cheese hamberder or twelve, so that’s pretty much the only thing that will stop him.
Yes, and it’s only happened once in US history. Samuel Chase was acquitted by the Senate in 1805 and continued to serve until his death.

You have to think this is just the tip of the iceberg. With Thomas alone the number of times he’s “forgotten” to include something thst we learned of later means you just have to assume there’s so much more. What or how much who knows? But there is no way I believe Samuel Alito has accepted 170,000 dollars in gifts over the years. Not if his asshole buddy Thomas over here is bringing it at minimum 4 million.
