The Courts (not specific to either party)

Hopefully they look into both!

Agreed.

I think rational people can also realize that money paid to you from a book deal is massively different than someone paying for lavish vacations on a yacht, buying multiple properties from you including your mom's home that she still lives in, and paying for your kids tuition... As well as not disclosing your full income over multiple decades, or maybe even falsifying it. Oh, and your wife trying to over throw a presidential election.

NPR mentioned that Ruth Bader Ginsberg had accepted some questionable perks. 

So investigate away. This is all either inappropriate or not for the 9 incredibly powerful and unelected people whose decisions directly affect the lives of millions.

Yep....investigate them all, if there is evidence something unethical was done...then deal with it.

What bothers me the most is that there isn't any type of code of conduct for the SC.  That is what I would hope would come out of this.  Maybe it's a situation where, all this has been done and none of it breaks a law or current rule.  But....you can change the rules so that if futre justices do this, there is a specific way to handle it.

How did you get to this?  Serious question.

In the post he agreed that suspicious gifts need to be looked at for both liberal and conservative justices.

No, it was a run on sentence that pertained to what Thomas has been accused of.  He compared the Sotomayor story to the Thomas story never linking in liberal justices.  He knew what he was doing.

He didn’t, nor did he address them like he did the Thomas stuff.   Hence my post :blink:

Hence my post.

By your logic,  I can then assume you're okay with conservative justices getting gifts since you didn't mention them in this post.

Got it...
