John Oliver Offers Clarence Thomas $1M Yearly to Resign from Supreme Court

The HBO host's offer includes a luxury motor coach, aiming to highlight the need for ethics reform in the judiciary amid low public confidence.

  • John Oliver, host of HBO's 'Last Week Tonight,' has offered Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas $1 million per year to resign from the court.
  • Oliver's offer includes a $2.4 million luxury motor coach as an additional incentive for Thomas to step down.
  • The offer, which Oliver claims is legal, is valid for 30 days and comes amid controversies surrounding Thomas's acceptance of gifts and favors.
  • Public confidence in the Supreme Court has reached record lows, with a Gallup poll showing only 9% of Americans have a 'great deal' of trust in the judicial branch.
  • Oliver's move is seen as a bold critique of the Supreme Court's ethics and accountability, highlighting the need for reform.
