But if I privately gave money to a judge and there's an unspoken expectation of a wee bit of nudge, nudge, wink, wink in return, they'd look the other way BECAUSE THEY HAVE SO MANY TIMES ALREADY.

As long as it continues behind the scenes, SCOTUS is corruptible and justice means nothing.

#EthicsCode for SCOTUS, now, dammit.
