There are examples of various judges accepting trips and gifts, but some of them REALLY stand out in the number and value.
I agree that it appears that none of them have really rocked the boat with external pressure, but the court has been a very insular institution. We don't know how much they've talked about it amongst themselves.
- generalizations 3y agoWell, we may not have picked up on the extent of the trips/gifts and other kickbacks. Could be they're all benefiting a ton, and we just don't know it (yet...?).
- HardlyCurious 3y agoIt's in the article from this thread. Their is also a quote from the late RBG comparing efforts to stop this to some sort of stalinism. Either way, what is absolutely important is that any enforcement is absolute and not selective / at the discretion of a prosecutor. There is no unbiased person when it comes to potentially shifting the balance of power of the SCOTUS. We can't only be shining a spotlight on justices from one party.
