You completely missed that part of the ethics guide that federal judges are required to report as gifts any transportation paid for by other's that is in lieu of commercial services right? Or is it you just completely overlooked that part, as this is the second six figure 'gift' that has benefited Justice Thomas and his rabid MAGA wife.

Federal officials must report such gifts, including stays provided by even close personal friends exceeding a single overnight period, because they're tantamount to bribery. Yes, accepting private jet flights and yacht trips fall under the mandatory ethics reporting when they exceed the federal limit. As of last month, those exclusions you're trumpeting about have been abolished completely it's worth noting.

In short, Justice Thomas was caught receiving unreported gifts. Maybe it will be reported that they were in fact in-kind payment for judicial favors given to Republican claimants. Stay tuned!
