Why can’t the current DOJ look into Thomas’ corrupt activity?
Obviously I don’t know the law here but there just seems to be so much shady behavior here, it’s not funny.
The answer why is Merrick Garland, I know.
Just thinking out aloud here. I know I’m being unrealistic.

Now I’m waiting for the “there were so many trips and so many gifts that I just lost track of them all” defense. It would be unfair to demand Thomas remember all of his “gratuities”, just like it would be unfair to demand that a longtime employee remember the dates that the deposited every paycheck. Um.

What is not clear is how it is that the DOJ is able to arrest and prosecute serving members of Congress but never seem to have done the same stable cleaning at the Supreme Court. Seems to me that Supreme Court Justices do not enjoy Speech and Debate clause protections for actions they take at the Court so I’m curious as to why DOJ hasn’t even bothered to try a sitting US Supreme Court justice yet for bribery and tax evasion. See recent conviction of US Senator Menendez on how this is typically done when there are overtly corrupt happenings by the powerful in Washington DC…

IIRC, @irasdad made that connection many years ago. Always to hilarious effect.

When trying to determine how the court will rule can we now say that it depends on how the crow flies?

He can also drop the “von”. He’s an American – we don’t hand out honorifics.

More undocumented vacations?
I think I’m less worried now about Thomas being corrupt and more worried that he and Harlan Crow are having an affair.

Today I watched a video of some young tallking head discussing this story. He said that Thomas had displayed corruption once again. He said that Justice Roberts (the Chief Judge) had been shown by Thomas to be weak and ineffective.
In June the court handed down a decision in Snyder v. United States which fleshed out the Roberts doctrine that bribery was illegal only if the DOJ could prove a causality between the bribe and the correupt act. If the oligarch chose to voluntary give an official something after the official did a solid for the oligarch there was nothing to charge. Such a gratuity was perfectly legal.
Today Gorsuch said that Biden should be very careful with Supreme Court reforms because people who have unpopular opinions need to have the protection of the courts. In the abstract that is right but this Supreme Court only protects billionaires, apparently billionaires who are free with their gratuities.
Roberts isn’t weak. He is as feckless and corrupt as any of the Supreme Six. His court is open for business.
