I was responding to a comment saying that lifetime appointments prevent bribery. Justice Thomas is proving the theory wrong.
Why should I believe his decisions are about principle when money is changing hands?

Ah, I agree with you there. I see no way lifetime appointments change the incentives around bribery.
That sounds like an impeachment issue to me.
Of all the currently-service Justices, the only one who has deviated from the perspective of the President who appointed them would probably be Roberts - and that statement is mostly based on a single ruling. It's not like he's well-loved by the left.
