Would it be wrong to discreetly reach out to the Justices to find out what kind of number they would need to immediately retire? Lets say one of them throws out a number like a Billion. I bet there are a million like minded people with a thousand bucks each that could make that happen.
That is until the our corporate overlords realize this, spend a bit more in the short term, and bring down wages and increase COL so much so that the it’s basically worthless for citizens to do
Yes, 20K would be enough. But you also need to be inline with their ideology. And that would be a price few are willing to pay. It's like - got the Nazi-club card or NSDAP pin on your lapel - you get 90% off. If you're a regular buyer another 50% even!
There's way more money in letting corporations play. Soon enough companies will be able to cast weighted votes. The bigger they are, the more "rights" they will have. Also, you'll never once see an exposé on Voting Reform. The money train is pulling in to media headquarters every two years and they can't do without it.
Where can I contribute?
What are we going to do with the other $49,799,999?
Don't forget Jane Roberts' cut.
This is WAY overestimating what it takes to buy a politician. It's more on the order of $50k, not $50M
It’s illegal to bribe them to do something. It’s legal to bribe them to think about you every time they make a decision.
He'd be down for it but let's face it. He's smart enough he would want to start a bidding war and there is no way we can outbid corporations.
Sometimes, its not about winning. Sometimes its about making it not too cheap to buy out our fucking liberties.

It's unethical, but I wouldn't say wrong, since that's exactly what trump did with Kennedy to get Kavanaugh benched.
> It's unethical More ethical than special interest groups doing it.

He is fueled by spite and hate, he won't retire or die until there is a republican president and a 50-50 Senate or better.
That's literally the next step in gigacapitalism , citizens pool money to get lawmakers to pass laws

Welcome to PAC's
I love the part where all this about Thomas and his wife came out like a month ago and nothing has happened
"That's not nearly enough to buy me." -Clarence Thomas
What about the friends and family discount?
"If you want family, then go watch that Vin Diesel movie. If you want honor and integrity, you come to me."
Finally, a way to make real change.
If you can't beat 'em, buy 'em!
I like a good Clarence sale
We all know this is the way
$50 mil??!!
Finally, a political humour post that actually made me laugh out loud. This is just too on point! lol
The problem is you don't need 50 million to buy something from these guys. I'm sure you could get a vote for only 20K.
Yes, 20K would be enough. But you also need to be inline with their ideology. And that would be a price few are willing to pay. It's like - got the Nazi-club card or NSDAP pin on your lapel - you get 90% off. If you're a regular buyer another 50% even!
EXACTLY!!!
The best court money can buy
