This lifetime appointments are the most stupid thing the founding fathers came up with. It should have been, every four years a 1/3 of the court gets replaced. A justice can be on the court only one term. If one replaces a position, they complete that term and can’t be nominate for another term.
And the suggestion box has a shoot out front that empties into an office trash can, not a back alley one. (Hey, this is scrotus, they have some class.)
Your resignation, and a couple of others, would quiet things a bit. Your incarceration would quiet a few more. Your wife’s conviction and jailing would shut the rest.
Rewards for favours has long been suspected, nice the public has seen the tip of the iceberg. Doubtful if anything will change though, gifts for favours are as old as civilization. Expectations of “free stuff” come with the job, doughnuts for our police.. swanky holidays for our judges.
You will note the look on Brett Kavanaugh’s face – he’s wondering WHY Clarence got HIS request installed before they got around to the “beer spigot” installed in front of his position – just shows you, Brett, that sometimes age and seniority has its advantages…

Of course, there is a hole in the box going directly to a shredder.

I assume Scalito is to Uncle Thomas’s right and Keganaugh to his left. Doesn’t anyone know the Supreme Court Justices sit on the Court by seniority?

If you try to put a suggestion in that box, a bear trap with sharp jagged teeth will immediately clamp down on your hand.

For 100 dollar bills, nonconsecutively numbered. Gold coins would also be acceptable as would titles to homes, boats, etc.

Here’s a few suggestions…term limits, enforceable ethics rules and better vetting to begin with.

Another in a series of government representatives asking the same question: “How stupid do we think you are?”
Judging from voting results, the answer is “more stupid than you give us credit for” way too often.
