[ [link removed] ]WATCH: John Oliver offers to pay Clarence Thomas $1 million a year to
resign from the Supreme Court within 30 days.
BIG: On the Daily Show, Jon Stewart drew attention to John Oliver's offer
to give Clarence Thomas $1 million a year and a new $2.4 million motor
coach (similar to a gift given by a billionaire) to resign within 30 days.
This came after John Oliver meticulously – and hilariously – connected the
dots between expensive gifts from right-wing billionaires to Supreme Court
Justices and the illegitimate decisions Clarence Thomas and others have
made.
Now, scores of PCCC members have joined Oliver -- adding an additional
$1.7 million in "pledges" as we work to keep the pressure on Thomas and
this right-wing Court FOR WEEKS! Here's how:

more powerful by pledging how much you would (hypothetically) be willing
to pay Clarence Thomas to GET OFF THE SUPREME COURT NOW. Click here.
(To be clear, joining Oliver’s pledge is more about advancing this media
narrative than actually giving money to Clarence Thomas.)
Here’s why this matters. Oliver’s amazing video could be out of the news
cycle within a day or so if we do nothing. But we’ll update the media on
the ever-growing number of Americans joining his call – and the amount
they are pledging – for Clarence Thomas to retire. This will increase the
buzz and news surrounding Oliver’s amazing video calling out Court
corruption.
As Oliver said, the Court has more society-changing cases on the docket
this year. And the American people's confidence in our democracy itself
has already been shaken by this Court’s political rulings that
consistently go against the will of the people — such as striking down
abortion rights, voting rights protections, common-sense state and local
gun regulations, and federal efforts to combat climate change.
