Maybe we can use this?

Since ~~bribery~~ gratuities are legal now, apparently, and the Supreme Court is legislating everything from the bench, maybe we can pool a sort of PAC and put together a prize sheet for different positive things we want. If they rule for those, they get the prize indicated. Kind of like the prizes you'd get for selling certain thresholds during school fundraisers.

Also kind of like the Criss Points system:

Even if all the peasant in US united and pitched in, out collective buying power would still NOT be enough v top 10% but like even top 1%

Not about the SCOTUS, but there was a report a while back showing that many senators votes were purchased for only a few grand… we could probably swing that.

I'm guessing that's because the few grand we know about was the distraction. The real payment happened without us knowing about it.
