Probably corrupt? Maybe my comment was over the top, but Thomas seems to know what his job is, which is to rubber stamp everything favorable to the Far Right. The opposite of a leftist is a reactionary, and I think Thomas is there.

Thomas follows the constitution.
That's why you people hate him.

A billionaire telling Congress what to do. This is oligarchy.

Given your comment, I guess you didn't understand anything you read at all.
Maybe try again.

Justice Samuel Alito Took Luxury Fishing Vacation With GOP Billionaire Who Later Had Cases Before the Court
In the years after the undisclosed trip to Alaska, Republican megadonor Paul Singer’s hedge fund has repeatedly had business before the Supreme Court. Alito has never recused himself.

Alito did not recuse himself from the case and voted with the 7-1 majority in Singer’s favor.Justice Samuel Alito Took Luxury Fishing Vacation With GOP Billionaire Who Later Had Cases Before the Court

A group that filed a brief in the case that led to the overturning of Roe v. Wade paid for Alito’s trip to Rome.
Alito wrote the decision overturning Roe.

A case that they had refused to take up numerous times before. Who convinced them to consider it?
If liberal members voted in favor too then how was it a strictly conservative quid pro quo?
What's done is done. The real injustice will be if Congress fails to pass an obviously needed strict new set of ethics laws for SCOTUS . If it doesn't do anything else it could very well result in a lot of earlier than planned retirements.

Why was the case taken, after being denied numerous times before?
Why does SCOTUS have no ethics rules? I can’t give my mail person more than $20 without jeopardizing them and me, SCOTUS, no limit.
These guys sure did make a lot of generous billionaire friends after they got that lifetime seat.

Buffett has always been a conservative, smart investor. That's how he got wealthy. Pelosi founded his own financial consulting firm after getting an MBA from NYU's Stern School of Business.
How about Samuel Alito? Besides his weekly consultations with his boss The Pope, Alito also has generous billionaire friends with business before the court.
