Do you think John Oliver is likely going to prison for bribing a government official?

It's very clearly NOT a bribe that John Oliver is offering.
A bribe would be plying CT with things of value and thereby attempting to influence his rulings on the bench.
John Oliver is offering CT a new high paying low stress job, for which CT would [b]leave[/b] the bench. Very different from a bribe.
Though it does highlight the fact that CT received - from conservative billionaires - 31 years of secret gifts never declared on ethics forms, and rendered 31 years of conservative SCOTUS votes.
Clarence Thomas by the numbers:
[sep][sep][sep]
38 destination vacations (including stays at a private resort in the Adirondacks, stays at a 10,000 acre private ranch, and travel on the private 161 foot superyacht Michaela Rose)
26 private jet flights
8 helicopter trips
12 VIP passes to sporting events,
2 stays at luxury resorts in Florida & Jamaica
1 standing invite to an uber-exclusive golf club overlooking the Atlantic
2 years "son's" tuition (Mark Martin), worth $100,000
1 RV, valued $267,000
1 house for his mother, valued over $200,000
Including renovations, & taxes paid

@Snuffy1957 I checked. Mommy says even though snuffy is a total ahole, the fact that he's mentally disabled means I should make sure I have substantive content in response to the moron.

Don't worry, everyone is saying that acting like snuffy is reprehensible! Just the other day one of my people said to me, "Sir, don't act like snuffy, Sir!" there were actual tears in his eyes as he said, "you know you're better than that Sir" [b]ROTFL!!![/b]
