“Is a $100 Dunkin’ Donuts gift card for a trash collector wrongful?” wrote Justice Brett Kavanaugh in the court’s opinion. “What about a $200 Nike gift card for a county commissioner who voted to fund new school athletic facilities?

Soon enough we get to spend the next four years guessing. “Will there be a 2028 election?” Don’t you worry, there will be an, “election.” Just like Russia has an election.

Financial institutions have a TON of regulations against this sort of thing. You can’t accept gifts, you can’t serve on a board if there’s a conflict of interest, you can’t take politicians out for dinner, etc. This is seriously fucked up. Shit is going to get even more corrupt, but now they don’t have to hide it.
