"Clarence Thomas is arguably the most consequential justice on the court right now and he's never really seemed to like the job. He said, 'It's not worth doing for the grief.'

So what if he can keep the luxury perks he clearly enjoys without having to endure all of that grief," Oliver said, before revealing what he called "a special offer."

The offer includes "one million dollars a year for the rest of your life if you simply agree to leave the Supreme Court immediately and never come back."

How much would it take to get his wife to keep her big fat mouth shut and stop trying to change election results?

why should he resign? He's making more money from Harlan Crow et al.

Is Thomas willing to take this offer, as it would be an admission that he's for sale?

I don't think it's enough. But we'll see.

With a net worth of $50 million, Oliver can afford it.

Could an enterprising DA consider this a bribe?

He isn't going to resign with a Dem in the WH.

John Oliver once again shows why he is America's favorite
transplant from abroad. The man is hilarious...

Clarence would want more. But Kavanaugh? Throw in a lifetime's worth of Miller on demand and you're talking.

What a laughing stock these corrupt GQP justices have become.

Kind of mirrors the joke that the entire GQP has become.

I wonder if Roberts has noticed what his court has become.

Who offered it? I vote for life imprisonment or worse for the offenders.. The current court is a breath of fresh air compared to the stench and rot of every Democrat controlled institution. Sorry! Democrats undermine every bit of integrity still left. It starts from the top. How much was Joe Biden offered to leave by Democrats?
