God it would be beautiful if it worked.

If someone is going to buy our elected officials, atleast let it be someone with good intentions.

Can only hope he takes that offer. Who wouldn't take that offer? Is it bad I hope he takes it? I know he most likely wouldn't but I wish he would.

Is that less than what right wingers are already paying him?

I was a little surprised Oliver didn't call out Thomas a little more for his opinion in the Dobbs case overturning Roe. Thomas said that other cases that derived from the 14th Amendment like Roe should be revisited, including Griswold v. Connecticut (married couples' right to contraception), Lawrence v. Texas (struck down anti-sodomy laws) and Obergefell v. Hodges (right to same sex marriage), but his opinion didn't call out the one case that clearly could impact him - Loving v. Virginia (interracial marriage). I'm sure he could reside in a state where it would be legal, but he might have to plan his motor home trips more carefully.

Between the new season of Last Week Tonight being on and Jon Stewart doing The Daily Show on Mondays I really have a couple of nights of tv to look forward to now.

What's being given a million a year compared to the GOP all but treating him as God? He does not just want money, he wants to " Correct the world" and revel in turning America into Handmaiden's tale out of revenge.

And also he probably makes more money per year than that already

Of course. The point is, its apparently legal to openly bribe Supreme Court justices with money and lavish gifts

He already investigated himself and said it was fine. What more do you want?

Bribing politicians is legal as long as you call it lobbying so I don't see why that would happen

I mean, the Supreme Court released that code of ethics and said they pinky swear they're going to follow it so obviously no actual oversight is needed.

He apparently has a net worth of $4 million so if I were him I'd take the offer.

Pretty insane that paying a SCOTUS to quit isn't against the law. Which I guess is the point of Oliver's offer.

My only hope is that when Dems retake the House, they open a full impeachment inquiry into Thomas and Alito.

If he takes the offer his billionaire friends wont be taking him on $500 million yacht cruises anymore though.
Dude has been taken on loads of fucking expensive trips by friends.

I wish I had that kind of money to pay people to disappear from public view. Not just corrupt politicians either.

It's a throwback maneuver to Colbert's totally legal Super Pac he opened during the Bush era, which was also mindboggling.
