    Thomas is as dirty as they come, but the GOP will exert no pressure on him because ...

    Because organized crime never pressures justice on anyone.

    "Bribing" implies a quid pro quo - what was the QUO?

    Ruling the way the bribers wanted on USSC decisions.

    Surely you cannot believe this is all innocent, Sunsine.

    And Gorsuch KNEW it was unethical:

    'Law firm head bought Gorsuch-owned property

    The Supreme Court justice did not report the identity of the purchaser,
    whose firm has had numerous cases before the court.'

    <https://www.politico.com/news/2023/04/25/neil-gorsuch-colorado-property-sale-00093579>

    'For nearly two years beginning in 2015, Supreme Court Justice Neil
    Gorsuch sought a buyer for a 40-acre tract of property he co-owned in
    rural Granby, Colo.

    Nine days after he was confirmed by the Senate for a lifetime
    appointment on the Supreme Court, the then-circuit court judge got one:
    The chief executive of Greenberg Traurig, one of the nation’s biggest
    law firms with a robust practice before the high court.

    On April 16 of 2017, Greenberg’s Brian Duffy put under contract the 3,000-square foot log home on the Colorado River and nestled in the
    mountains northwest of Denver, according to real estate records.

    He and his wife closed on the house a month later, paying $1.825
    million, according to a deed in the county’s record system. Gorsuch, who
    held a 20 percent stake, reported making between $250,001 and $500,000
    from the sale on his federal disclosure forms.

    Gorsuch did not disclose the identity of the purchaser. That box was
    left blank.'
