Now I know why the Supreme Court has weakened the definition of bribery so much. Under the new definitions its almost impossible to prove bribery short of having an explicit quid pro quo, i.e. a fee-for-service agreement.
The Supreme Court should be filled with the Best of the Best . They Should be completely neutral in their decisions , not the appearance of being corrupt .

You can't . Election integrity laws have been put into place. ( Georgia, Pennsylvania) you can't win elections. The Democratic party is becoming synonymous with 💩
Hunter got a special prosecutor for his tax fraud. Thomas needs one for his. $2.4 million in unreported gifts is a lot of unpaid taxes. Hunter failed to pay $1.4 million in taxes. The taxes on $2.4 million in gifts must be in the high 6 digits. Let's prosecute. If lowly Hunter gets prosecuted for his taxes, which I'm fine with, then surely a SCOTUS judge should be prosecuted.
Hunter Biden paid his late taxes plus fines. Most people not named Hunter Biden are not criminally prosecuted, let alone civilly prosecuted after making the payments. Without a second crime involving the gun most people not named Hunter Biden are not prosecuted for the gun form checkmark.
Ah.. the lament of the powerless. And when national media influencers and former legislators (current ones too!) have no means to invoke accountability you know the design of the system is the problem.

Seems someone owns some back taxes on the millions in value he received and conveniently forgot to report. Why is it that if I win a car, or someone gives me anything of great value, why must I pay taxes on it, but a Supreme Court justice doesn’t have to report or pay taxes on multiple million dollar “gifts”? Really?
If Clarence Thomas did not list these gifts as taxable income. He could be indicted, prosecuted, and convicted as a result. He could serve time in prison as well. If he is indicted, prosecuted, convicted, and maybe sentenced to prison this could force him to step down from The U.S. Supreme Court.
