John Oliver discusses the Supreme Court, the ethically questionable gifts some of the justices receive, and an offer for Clarence Thomas that could ruin John's life. Genuinely. You'll see.

This has to be one of the most eye opening and chilling expose of the Justice system in the US with a complete annihilation of the Supreme Court Justices and what they get as kickbacks. The finale when JO offers the SC Justice Clarence Thomas $1m "to get out of Dodge" and retire from the SC) is fucking incredible - blatant bribery on a major TV show - and it's all legal (apparently). John Oliver is my favourite TV comedian/journalist and he does this show so well (with the backing of a great team of researchers and writers obviously!) it shows the US is buggered on so many levels - makes UK look quite competent!
