Literally, officially, it’s now entirely legal under federal law for officials to accept and even solicit bribes for specific services rendered, just so long as they do it after, rather than before, the service is rendered.
They aren’t even pretending to be a legitimate court of law any more - they’re just a rubber-stamping service for the oligarchy.
It’s long past time to flush these turds
Yeah, they are actually just seeing how far they can go by now. This is a direct “Fuck you” right in our faces.
And not a single one of us can or will do anything about it.
There is no process or procedure that can undo these people. The system has failed us.
Well there is, but it’s illegal and these bastards sure ain’t gonna endanger their own lives.

Thomas creamin his pants rn
The new RV he’s going to get also converts into a houseboat
A “donation” up front says I’ll see what I can do, money after the fact says I’ll fight for you. Sounds like bribery to me. Not that the current system isn’t but backend feels so much worse
What happened to “legislating from the bench”? Pepperidge Farm remembers when repubes were against it
In short it’s typically limited to when judges make things up whole cloth, like qualified immunity, without legal basis. In judicial circles striking down laws or saying a law isn’t applicable in a certain circumstance typically isn’t regarded as legislating as they are ruling on the justness and applicability of an existing law rather than creating something wholely new.
I just can’t any more…
It’s amazing how almost every job not in the government already acknowledges and penalises this as a crime. But because these folks actually instate the rules they have to follow their somehow exempt from the same standards.
Although a gratuity or reward offered and accepted by a state or local official after the official act may be unethical or illegal under other federal, state, or local laws, the gratuity does not violate §666.
Tldr the ruling only was about in relation to one law. The party may be guilty of a form of corruption under a different law.
