@GottaLaff I feel sick. Thomas gave her directions, and she took it.

The second and FINAL opinion today: Snyder v. US. Written by Justice Kavanaugh. The vote is 6-3. Jackson dissents, joined by Sotomayor and Kagan.

Geidner:

The final SCOTUS decision today is Snyder v. US. Kavanaugh has the court's 6-3 decision on ideological grounds, holding that the Section 666 bribery statute does not apply to "gratuities" given for public officials' past acts. Jackson writes the liberals' dissent.

As usual, GOP Fascist Party is anti-ethics.

“Republicans vow to block Democrats’ effort to enforce ethics code in supreme court

The push for ethics comes after reports of justices, including and Samuel , accepting lavish gifts and travel opportunities”

The high court’s conservative supermajority is in your body, helping elect Trump, and in-your-face corrupt. No one is going to stop them.

The SCOTUS Code of Conduct urges recusal from a case to avoid the appearance of impropriety.

If Clarence Thomas followed the new code, he would recuse from Trump's presidential immunity case next week.

How could he appear to be impartial given his wife Ginni’s role in Jan. 6?

Ginni Thomas was directly involved in efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Her consulting firm also stands to gain if Trump is re-elected. Yet Clarence Thomas refuses to recuse himself from the Colorado ballot case. This should be a scandal of epic proportions.
