But I see it as the rich have taken over the Republican Party. They need a reliable base. Religious people want to have a society in a form they want. So the court pushes the religions agenda. The big payday comes with reducing taxes for the rich. Which the base votes for. Ultimately its the rich manipulating the courts for their own benefit. Thomas is an idiot if he thinks billionaires just want to be his friend.
