...gutted a key federal bribery statute, handing down a ruling on Wednesday in an obscure corruption case that allows powerful interests to give gifts to politicians as rewards for favors.
So basically They are CYA for themselves with both Thomas and Alito already in hot water they are paving the way to ensuring that they (the supreme court) are legally allowed to exchange verdicts for compensation. We're so fucked as a society.
Yes, but this is reddit and we need to knee jerk reaction everything without actually reading the readily available source of the ruling at supremecourt.gov.
I still don't agree with the ruling as now there isn't any repercussions for receiving a “gift” when there is no clear delineation between bribe and gift for state officials.
