I don’t understand how this isn’t a criminal matter. If nothing else, it violates the Ethics in Government Act. Is there no law against soliciting and accepting bribes?
BRIBES yes, but gifts cause he's a super special boy? Not at all.
But like really you can't fix busted to hell, the system is corrupt to the top and taking out one mouthpiece won't change that
The Supreme Court is the only arm of the federal judiciary that is not bound by a code of ethics.
I read that in the article and learned something new.
Apparently they are above the law.

I hear you have a couple things in your Constitution that might give you the power to do that.

Sorry, US guns are only for hunting, target practice, self defense, extrajudicial killings by police, and shooting up schools. The majority are in the hands of folks who want nothing more than the fascism express to roll on in so all the people they hate will be hurt.

This was discussed yesterday on one of the talking heads shows. The problem is that there's little to nothing in the act regarding enforcement or punishment. So basically, it comes down to this:
EIGA: Don't accept bribes. Bribes are bad.
Thomas: Nah, I'll take them anyway. What are you going to do about it. EIGA: .....Even if he were to be found guilty of a crime, it would be up to Congress to enforce the Constitutional provision about being in good standing. Which puts us right back to where we are now: If congress were willing to do that, they'd already be doing it and we wouldn't be having this discussion in the first place.
