We could all use friends like Justice Thomas' friends.

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas accepted millions of dollars' worth of gifts over the past two decades on the bench, a total nearly 10 times the value of all gifts received by his fellow justices during the same time, according to a new analysis.

Look at the three who accepted the most bribes gifts - they're ahead by miles. (And one's even been dead for 8 years; Scalia had built up a nice lead till Thomas went roaring past him.)

It's laughable that some think Merchan should have recused himself but think it's A-OK that Thomas and Alito don't recuse themselves from rulings involving the convicted felon their wives worship.

1) it's not really a "pay" gap

2) can we extend this analysis to all politicians?

3) locked.
