    Obviously. Thomas has no shame,,,,he is a fool if he does not accept this offer

    https://www.rollingstone.com/politi...-million-motorcoach-supreme-court-1234970879/https://www.rollingstone.com/politi...-million-motorcoach-supreme-court-1234970879/

    if Thomas resigns oliver is offering him a motorhome worth $2.4 and a million a year ..that aint chicken feed..I dont care who you are

    and besides,

    if he took Oliver up on the offer, it could be said he "owned the left"

    and if you think about it,,,it is pretty damn funny it is legal to buy a supreme court justice

    These are all common denominators of the left with no ability to see how their decision will effect them in the future.

    The reason the SCOUTS is ranked the way it is, is because of Democrats. When they used the nuclear option (for the first time in history) to sit Obama federal judges with 51 votes because nobody would vote for them. They were told this will come back to bite them in the ass. But they wouldn't listen.
    Then 3 conservative judges are are appointed in one administration with just 51 votes.

    Then it was, Democrats were going to appoint 6 more justices, but that bit the dust up front.

    Now its bribing Justices to leave the SCOTUS?
    Common behavior for the left these days.

    If it were a serious offer, it would probably not be legal, but the justice department would properly conclude it is a joke, so no action would be taken. If on the other hand this were a rightist such as the My Pillow guy, the FBI would be doing a middle-of-the-night raid on his house for trying to bribe a Supreme Court justice.

    Sadly, there is more truth than fiction in the above statement.

    The reason that Supreme Court has a conservative majority is because all of them were appointed by Republcian Presidents.

    That has nothing to do with any nuclear option.

    So you don't even know that 3 conservative justices were confirmed to the SCOTUS under Trump in just 3 years with just 51 votes using the nuclear option?
    PRICELESS

    Yes and no.

    Yes they were appointed by Republican Presidents.

    No, the nuclear option was relevant because it meant that Republicans could pass through more conservative justices than they would have if they had needed Democrat votes for approval.

    Republicans took it to the next level using nuke options on Supreme Court Justices. The Democratic party never used nuke option for Supremes.

    It's called "bribery". JFC, dude...lol.

    John Oliver should have to explain himself before a grand jury.

    But, you can thank the Democrats for making the rule change that allowed the Republicans to use the nuclear option. Thank God, too. Can you imagine that commie piece of **** Merrick Garland on the Supreme Court?

    Damn right it is. Oliver even said he wasn't kidding. That's an admission of guilt.

    Heh, can you imagine if Sean Hannity had offered RBG a million bucks to retire?

    He'd still be in jail.

    First of all, did I actually click on a Rolling Stone link? What was I thinking?

    Second, only someone who thinks bribery works would come up with that plan. Someone should tell this guy the justice's name is spelled T-H-O-M-A-S and not B-I-D-E-N.

    Again, Republicans not taking responsibility for their own actions. They were the first to use nuke option on Supreme Court nominations. Now we have seditious fascists on the Court that were not put there by the people, but the antiquated Electoral College. Hold onto it while you can.

    Really? What does John Oliver get out of this? As Oliver said it would be his money. Good thing John Oliver is worth at least $40 million.

    Obviously he wants to get rid of Thomas and replace him with a communist Democrat.

    Are you under the impression that you can't buy a left-leaning judge if this were to ever happen?

    Because if we start making this the precedent... It can become messy
