People need to understand the extreme double standard here. I worked closely with officials at the NY Fed and US Treasury and they were under extreme ethical guidelines and limitations. They would accept zero “inducements”. No dinners nor lunches. No ball games. No beers. They wouldn’t even accept a cup of coffee, they insisted on paying themselves. And they took pride in that. Yet the Supreme Court prances around taking exorbitant gifts from billionaires while the good hard working officials at the Fed and Treasury wouldn’t even take a cup of coffee from an old friend.

If he thinks even if ALL JUDGES could do that, without any concern on ethical grounds... then have him, Thomas, write down & publish ALL THE SITUATIONS in which judges should not accept gifts, paid for vacations, etc. and see IF THE PEOPLE ---- WHO LIVE AND DIE UNDER HIS PERSONAL OPINION --- would agree to having him continue to making life and death decisions FOR THEM over the next 30 years... If not, then the High Court's life time tenure should be limited, since corruption is way too hard to decide, since nobody but high court members are able to judge their own actions and they ALL JUDGE themselves to be beyond reproach, no matter what they do...

The mere appearance of a backdoor arrangement poses a significant threat to the integrity of law and democracy.

Allowing a minority to sway the law through judges jeopardizes ethical standards, risking the foundational pillars of justice and societal order.

Gifts to Supreme Court Justices are not kept secret unless they are improper gifts. It is simply logic.

Sheldon should reside in the Whitehouse .

The supreme court’s justices need to be reeled in . They are going to have to make a choice ! No more gifts which is seen as graft .. bribes ..we can’t have that. Court fixes it or the people will have to get involved .

As officers of the highest court in the nation, they in should be held to a greater standard of ethics and behaviour, as they should be the ones by which all others are judged. Sadly, due to GOP meddling and gross Republican financial influence, they have become the most corrupted court in the land. So much for an independent judiciary. Time for term limits if impartiality cannot be guaranteed.

Supreme Court judges MUST HAVE BOTH TIME LIMITS AND SUPERVISION. JUSTICE THOMAS IS NOT WORTHY.
