    If the other justices are aware of his behaviour (as they are now), and dont do anything about it, they’re complicit.

    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.

    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.
