THAT IS SOMETHING THAT DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY DAY

John Oliver makes Clarence Thomas a million dollar offer on HBO's 'Last Week Tonight'


I like John Oliver.  I watch his show.  He is a hard-core liberal, but some of his ideas are worth while and his presentation is always excellent.

A couple of nights ago on his show he offered Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas $1 million cash and new motor home worth many hundreds of thousands of dollars if he would resign from the court in the next 30 days.  It seems to be a legit offer.  It might even be legal.

He clearly does not like Thomas' point of view.  He also clearly believes he is at least of dubious honesty and may be outright corrupt. The Supreme Court obeys its own rules about ethics and those rules are fuzzy.

I doubt Thomas will bite.  The lure of power is strong.
