@mott-the-hoople saidJustices don't make policy?
no I dont agree.
Scotus justices do not make policy. How do you think this relationship would compromise the justice?
Are you suggesting scotus members cant have friends?
What do you think happened after they struck down Roe v. Wade?

@mott-the-hoople saidFrom the BBC:
I did read it, you have no rebuttal so you say some stupid shyt.
what was affected by Thomas's friendship with the guy?
[QUOTE]US Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has said he believed luxury trips he took with a billionaire Republican donor followed guidelines.
A ProPublica report earlier this week said Justice Thomas had accepted vacations from real estate mogul Harlan Crow nearly every year for two decades.
Supreme Court justices are required to file annual disclosures of gifts.
Justice Thomas said that he had been led to believe that "this sort of personal hospitality" did not apply.
According to ProPublica, the trips included several on Mr Crow's luxury yacht and private plane, as well as a week spent every summer in the Adirondack mountains.[/QUOTE]
The justice didn’t think he should mention this “relationship” ?
A billionaire donor of policy makers sharing very expensive holidays, etc. with him, someone who has to make judgements and jurisprudence on those very same policies??
And you are okay with that??
Son, if you are fine with that sort of behaviour, you’re enabling corruption and are either too stupid to comprehend the implications of it, or deserve to suffer the results of people behaving like that.
Edit:
After two attempts to get the bloody quote thing correct (and removing the BOLD because it wasn’t working either), I’ve decided to live in peace and worry no more about HTML or whatever the fukk it is.
No, seriously… someone PM what I’m doing wrong.

This is how left leaning media mislead you.
Here are the facts…
“Supreme Court justices must follow strengthened financial disclosure requirements surrounding gifts and free hotel stays, which follows rising pressure from lawmakers about the high court’s ethics rules.
The new regulations quietly went into effect on March 14 and clarify that the justices — and all federal judges — must disclose gifts and free stays at commercial properties, or when gifts of hospitality are being reimbursed by a third party who is not the person providing it.”
Thomas had no obligation to report anything, unless it occurred AFTER March 2023.
Your article is lying by omission.

And, what’s more, this isn’t about legality, this is about ethics. And you don’t need a law to tell you when you’re integrity is compromised.
End of.

@mott-the-hoople saidOf course they are. Ever wonder why only right-wingers oppose fact-checkers? Because right-wingers oppose facts. See evolution, for example.

@shavixmir saidIt works both ways, just because it's legal doesn't make it ok. eg, it's not OK for a fit healthy person to rort the welfare system even if they legally can.
No. Good people have integrity and bad people take bribes.
💩-for-brains.
And then the other way, just because it's illegal doesn't mean you shouldn't do it. eg, tax evasion.
I was agreeing with you shag doody.
