Here is a little bit more info just for perspective.
Thomas has received far more than that one vacation.Yeah, it's the same when Ketanji Brown-Jackson gets $4k for concert tickets and a book deal worth $800k as when Thomas gets $500K for a vacation.

I only posted that just to show Thomas wasn't the only guilty one. As far as I'm concerned, they all should either live with their salaries or leave the court and let actual competent judges get on the bench.Yeah, it's the same when Ketanji Brown-Jackson gets $4k for concert tickets and a book deal worth $800k as when Thomas gets $500K for a vacation.

Yeah, I would prefer that Judges who are supposed to be nonpartisan not accept any gifts due solely to their current job. Having been in a few different industries over the years, I am also well aware that gifting between buyers and sellers or vendors is very common. If the Judges had kept the gifting down to a low level dull roar of a few grand here and there, imo not a big deal. But when by popular opinion the least skilled and most grifty Judge, has netted over 4 Million in "gifts" during his 20 years on the Bench is obscene and he needs to go. And the next most egregious Judges receiving upward of about $15K.I only posted that just to show Thomas wasn't the only guilty one.
