He did note, however, that senators on the committee have issued subpoenas for some of the “sugar daddies” — referring to the wealthy conservative donors who have plied the justices with gifts.
Not good enough. Do that as well, but that by itself is simply not good enough.
DOJ special prosecutor, with a complete task force of IRS, FBI, and every other major alphabet soup agency in there. Hell, even the Postal Investigators get a crack. (what? postal investigators have brought down more mobsters than the IRS.)
USPIS, the United States Postal Inspection Service. They've got something like a 98% conviction rate if it goes to trial. You do not fuck with the mail cops.
It's unfortunate that it's hard to imagine Clarence Thomas doing a little mail fraud.
Then again, he strikes me as a cheap bastard, so it's pretty easy to imagine him cheating on postage.
They can make federal arrests on people sending anything illegal in the mail I believe. So if an illegal bribe was sent to him via the USPS, they might have jurisdiction to make an arrest without a warrant or subpoena anyone needed. They are a federal law enforcement agency, older than most. Don't think the FBI were around when they became, and the secret service definitely weren't.
If you use the mail service for any kind of crime at all, it’s their bailiwick.
Which is why they got most the monsters they did- sending checks in the mail for rico, running whatever scams were common “back then”, and that goes a fairly long way back.. as you said.
They also have some interesting caveats on warrant law that makes it absurdly easy for them to drum up a useful reason to search your place
I report it as mail fraud whenever someone sends me any sort of "SeCoNd NoTiCe" without any existing business relationship with me. I like to think they get got.
Excellent, they have been both blasted and slammed.
Now we see consequences! Right?
Bribery and tax evasion charges might accomplish something.
People need to call for court stacking until it happens. You've gotta dilute these Federalist Society nutjobs.
25-30 justices would do the job. Same as the next lowest court. Cycle them out to other federal positions, staggering it so each admin gets a few appointments. Done. No more theocratic majority.
Add 4 or they will
They don't need to. They already have a 6-3 majority.
Because they would pass on a 10-3 majority?
Blasting is what a cannon does. Slamming should be reserved for hurricanes. I hate these titles.
