Supreme Court justices received $3million in gifts throughout the last two decades, a watchdog group revealed on Thursday - with controversial Justice Clarence Thomas accounting for nearly 80 percent.

Thomas, who has come under fire for accepting gifts from billionaire Harlan Crow, led the group of justices with the highest value of gifts accepted at $2.4million, according to Court News Service.

      That he’s reported. Who knows what else isn’t on the radar yet, because that corrupt fucker keeps “misremembering” to report gifts like private school tuition, RV loans that get forgiven, and several vacations a year.

      Maybe a better approach would be to distribute the gifts equally amongst the justices. That way they could all graft equally. Equal graft under the law!
