The pro-corruption party scores a win with their "bought" #SCOTUS justices:
"The SC ok’s fat “gratuities” to public officials, making it harder still to prosecute public corruption."
-J Meyer
SCJ Jackson issued a brutal smackdown of the maj. opinion, penned by J BK, who read the statute as a ban on all “gratuities,” meaning gifts incl. lunches, plaques, & gift cards. Conservative justices: responsibility to reg. gratuities should rest w st & local govts.

@KimPerales that’s not what the ruling said, though.
The Supreme Court pointed out that Congress made these changes to the law.
It’s not about what should be. We elect representatives to make those decisions. This is about what the democratic process settled on, for better or worse, and we should stop reelecting these lawmakers if we don’t like the laws they make.
