US supreme court ruled that post-facto gifts and payments are not technically “bribes” and therefore not illegal.
Brett Kavanaugh argued that the kickback was not illegal because it came after he awarded a contract to the company that ultimately paid him off, not before it.
In dissent, Ketanji Brown Jackson called the majority opinion “absurd and atextual”.
Moira Donegan : Samuel Alito , who flies insurrectionist flags outside his Virginia mansion and New Jersey beach house, has accepted the hospitality of the Republican mega-donor Paul Singer .
She says there is no indication that the justices received this generosity in direct compensation for their conservative jurisprudence, even though the judges’ legal writings have furthered the billionaire’s material interests and social preferences.
Donegan says the court has chosen to legalize for state and local officials exactly the sort of corruption that they partake of so conspicuously themselves.
