I'm no lawyer, but this seems to be pretty clear textbook bribery. I'd be interested in what a lawyer would say about this and if there are any grounds for criminal charges. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/201
There’s no mention of bribery being illegal in the Constitution so the Supreme Court won’t have a problem with this
It does mention they have to have good behavior and Congress can remove them from office. That said the senate would never remove him
Congress won't do that. If you remove a Justice for bad behavior, it opens up the door for Representatives and Senators to be removed on bad behavior.
They don't want to be held accountable for anything.
Well of course. There are people in congress who saw what happened to Nixon and made it their life mission to ensure that it wouldn’t happen again
