Once again, I just want to say that lavish gifts to Supreme Court justices shouldn’t just be “disclosed.” They should be banned, outright. This should not be a radical position.
@rbreich Oh its free, free for the companies and corporations to charge and sell you whatever. they want.with no guarantees or price limits.The Beast has been totally unleashed.

I have equally small use for the man, be he a judge on the bench or editor of a great paper, or wealthy and influential private citizen, who can see clearly enough and denounce the lawlessness of mob-violence, but whose eyes are closed so that he is blind when the question is one of corruption of business on a gigantic scale. Teddy Roosevelt’s attack on excessive concentration of wealth.
