For those counting along, a third of the Supreme Court is now under a cloud of what seems to look like a lot like public corruption.
It is well beyond time to take the Supreme Court head on in political battle.
I think we would quickly find that the justices have no robes.

No. Politicizing the branch that is specifically supposed to be above politics is just a bad idea.
Judge the justices based on their work, not based on any of this personal stuff.
All of their opinions are public. We can read them ourselves. THAT is what they should be held accountable for, not their personal lives, not this TV drama nonsense.
I really don't care what a justice does in his free time. I only care about his rulings.
If a ruling is correct, I really don't care if it was bought.
If a ruling is wrong, I really don't care if it wasn't bought.
That's because we can judge rulings on their own merits without needing to speculate or consider any behind the scenes drama. A ruling is right or wrong regardless of anything related to the personality involved.
To put it another way, if we get correct rulings because they are being bought, then goodness, let's have more buying of correct rulings! If that's what it takes to get good rulings, then great!
But in reality, it just doesn't matter because we can judge rulings on their own merit.

The judicial branch has always been political. Pretending it isn’t is willful blindness.
You wouldn’t care if a law firm bought a favorable ruling?
I do, so we might just have to agree to disagree.
