John Oliver Urges Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to Resign with $1 Million Offer

Oliver Discusses Ethically Questionable Gifts Received by Justices

Legal Experts Doubtful of Legal Action Against Oliver

In a recent episode of his show, "Last Week Tonight," comedian John Oliver discussed the ethically questionable gifts that some Supreme Court justices have received. He singled out Justice Clarence Thomas, who has accepted gifts from wealthy donors and corporations. Oliver offered Thomas $1 million to resign his seat on the Court, arguing that it would be a "clean break" for both Thomas and the country.

Legal experts say it is unlikely that any legal action will be taken against Oliver for his offer to Thomas. They argue that Oliver's comments are protected by the First Amendment and that he has not made any threats against Thomas.

Oliver also discussed the upcoming 2024 Met Gala and the preparation that went into his $1 million offer to Thomas. He said that he had been planning the offer for months and that he believes it is a fair one. Oliver said that he hopes Thomas will take his offer and that it will help to restore faith in the Supreme Court.

It remains to be seen whether Thomas will accept Oliver's offer. However, it is clear that Oliver's comments have sparked a national conversation about the ethics of Supreme Court justices and the role that money plays in the judicial system.
