Holy smokes!
The 'Last Week Tonight' host also offered a $2.4 million
HBO’s "Last Week Tonight" host John Oliver offered to pay Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas
$1 million annually in exchange for his departure from America’s highest court.
On Sunday, the eleventh season of Oliver’s talk show premiered as he voiced his allegedly
serious bribe to the Supreme Court Justice.
"One million dollars a year for the rest of your life, if you simply agree to leave the
Supreme Court immediately and never come back," Oliver said about his "special offer."
Oliver stated that he believed the nation’s Supreme Court is at "a breaking point."
The liberal talk host suggested a variety of proposals, from an enforceable ethics code to
term limits to expanding the number of justices, to fix the court.
"Clarence Thomas is arguably the most consequential justice on the court right now,
and he’s never really seemed to like the job. He said, ‘It’s not worth doing for the grief.’
So, what if he can keep the luxury perks he clearly enjoys without having to endure all of that grief," Oliver continued.
The late night host held up a contract to assure audience members that his offer to Thomas was, in fact, real.
