And to me, that is the "HOLY SHIP!!! What the Hell!!!" moment in this


whole story.

Any Judge lower than Supreme Court has some pretty well spelled out rules and gifts and ethics. Hell, any Federal Employee probably takes annual training that includes "You can not accept any gift from a supplier that is worth more than a nominal amount."

But a judge on the US SC? Feel free. It's all good. That's why he'll very likely skate on this. What he accepted is 100% ethically WRONG....but since it's not codified for his position, no problem. That's the shocking part. That this ISN'T illegal.
