He won’t take it. Taking the offer would basically confirm everything bad that’s been said about him. It would also be admitting publicly that he will do literally anything for the right bribe. Thomas only likes to admit that behind closes doors.
Oliver makes the point that Thomas really does agree with the views of his billionaire owners, since he held those views even before he became a supreme court justice.
So he’ll stay with the job where he can accept bribes while harming society as much as possible, rather than get paid and not get to do that.
True, we all know he won’t take it, especially considering that his benefactors would gladly match it for him to stay in his seat.
But it was a solid end to an episode outlining how scummy he is with his bribes. The episode wouldn’t get as much traction as it would be seen as barely more than another call-out.
And in the one-in-a-milliom chance that he accepts, we still win.

Yes but the effect of taking the deal is that it won’t matter for him anymore, because he will have retired and can hide away like the traitor he is.

I still don’t think his ego will allow him to admit that John Oliver is right about him though.

I completely agree! It was a great “fuck you” to Clarence Thomas to really round out the episode lol
I hope the
RVmotorcoach was just a leased demoIt wasn’t even that. It was likely driven over by Prevost to function as advertising. After the shot they just drove it back to the dealership.
