It is against the law to get bribes, not report gifts, for US Government Employees. Period.
Some say there is no specific law saying Justices will be arrested on bribery, -> but there is no law saying they are EXEMPT.

That's not quite how it works given the coequal branch design of the US government.
We can't have the different branches controlling each other like that because it would violate the independence of the judicial branch.
Neither legislators nor executive branch employees should have control over the justices, except for the one exception of impeachment.

The law is the same, the court they are tried in is different. That's how it works in the coequal design of the US government.
