In popular culture - John Oliver addition
In the popular culture section of this entry there should be a new bullet point along the lines of:
- On February 18, 2024 Clarence Thomas was offered 1 million USD a year from actor John Oliver to sign a contract and step down from the supreme court.
Sources: - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GE-VJrdHMug Jzkhockey (talk) 20:03, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
- The YouTube video won't work (primary source and all that), but there's plenty of secondary sourcing available, such as:
- Paúl, María Luisa (2024-02-19). "Clarence Thomas has 30 days to resign if he wants millions from John Oliver". The Washington Post. Archived from the original on 2024-02-24. Retrieved 2024-03-08.
"If we're going to keep the bar of accountability this low, perhaps it's time to exploit that low bar the same way billionaires have successfully done for decades," Oliver said on Sunday's episode of HBO's "Last Week Tonight," before announcing the offer he had for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas: $1 million per year if he steps down from his post immediately. Oliver is also throwing in a new $2.4 million motor coach that's outfitted with a king-size bed, four televisions and a fireplace — a potential deal-sweetener for Thomas, who has come under fire for receiving significant gifts and favors from a network of wealthy friends and patrons.

- @GuardianH removed a link to the main article discussing the piece John Oliver did (it was a section link) claiming WP:EGG was somehow applicable. I'm not seeing the issue? —Locke Cole • t • c 04:06, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
- Oh, the link you provided went to the John Oliver Show under Supreme Court (referencing the Supreme Court as a whole), so I assumed that there was other material on the Supreme Court for Oliver under the section, but I just checked and there's just the Thomas event. It might be better renamed "Clarence Thomas wager" or something like that. GuardianH (talk) 04:45, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
- So is it safe to relink to the section? —Locke Cole • t • c 19:58, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

Change "In Hudson v. McMillian, a prisoner had been beaten, sustaining a cracked lip, broken dental plate, loosened teeth, cuts, and bruises." to "In Hudson v. McMillian, a prisoner had been beaten by respondent prison guards, sustaining a cracked lip, broken dental plate, loosened teeth, cuts, and bruises," to clarify the nature of the beating and mirror the language in Hudson v. McMillian. FinallyTheresSun (talk) 21:51, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
