      Are you saying criminal trials? The Supreme Court doesn't have trials, they hold oral arguments where they hear arguments based on briefs from the petitioners and respondents, but there is no testimony and they do not decide on the facts of a case, just whether there were constitutional issues that occurred at trial in the lesser courts. The Supreme Court also doesn't work year round. Typically they hear arguments from the first Monday in October and decisions are published in June. Occasionally, they release decisions earlier than June. I definitely agree with you about Thomas and his lack of ethics.

    Members of this Supreme Court are unfit if they are stuck on this question: Do we have a King or not? It's not that hard!

    I worked for the state 43 years and we never were allowed to accept gifts from families..it was not acceptable , was a conflict of interest.
    You would get suspended or terminated..
    In this case, it
    appears like the justices were accepting bribes .
    ...why would you do that? Greed ..i think its time for an overhaul of the justice system..

    Why are they allowed to accept ANY gifts?

      @tonycook. Last fall, I believe, SCOTUS announced the most thin and inarticulate form of an oath to be forthcoming about gifts and perks. It wasn't worth the paper it was printed on. Clarence Thomas is surely not the only one doing this, but the actions of his and Alito's wife make all the rest of it untenable!

      presidents aren't allowed to, court justices shouldn't be allowed to either

      They make the rules for themselves and have no oversight from any other part of govt. Really dumb set up thats reliant on them being honest people

    Wowser. I want to be a Supreme Court Justice. The non-employment benefits are the likes of that which I have never seen. Something about that makes me feel like it should be unlawful. I am surprised that the Senate does not have a hearing and make a referral to the Justice Department.
