    I mean, let’s be honest here - none of the gifts, favors, or special treatment Thomas has received has changed his decisions. He was always going to pick the most reactionary, oligarch-friendly position. No one has ever said, “The court looks pretty split on this issue, and Clarence Thomas may be the deciding vote.”

    If you’re going to bribe a Justice or try to sway the Court, you pick a moderate. You don’t pay the Kool-Aid Man to charge through walls, it’s just what he does.
