The jurist disclosed his new rate card in a mass e-mail sent to more than a hundred super-donors.
“I have tried to keep my prices reasonable, but, as inflation proves more stubborn than predicted, I have no choice but to adjust my rates accordingly,” he wrote.
“Sadly, the days of shredding civil rights in exchange for ten private-jet flights are over,” he added.
It remains to be seen whether the billionaires who received Thomas’s e-mail will tolerate his steeper prices or whether they will explore a budget option such as Neil Gorsuch.

If you're willing to install an extension to get past the paywall with a little less effort (I mean, look at all the work it takes to copy and paste a URL ) you could try "spaywall"Nomomo wrote: ↑Tue Sep 26, 2023 3:16 pmShow me a 10ft paywall, I’ll show you a 12ft ladder > https://12ft.io/

What are you talking about? Copying and pasting a URL is work? When you share an article from https://12ft.io/ it makes it extremely easy - without any concern if the receiver of the post has used up their free articles for the month at the particular website you are sharing. Sharing a link from https://12ft.io/ That directly leads to the article saves them any effort whatsoever to read the article. All they have to do is click the link.

I was simply showing another way of doing the same thing.

Re: Clarence Thomas Hikes Price of Supreme Court Decisions
HAHAHAHA................. I checked out Spaywall, and Spaywall uses https://12ft.io/. Are you embarrassed at least little now? Spaywall is just a ripoff interface for for actually using https://12ft.io/ (12ft ladder).malkie wrote: ↑Wed Sep 27, 2023 8:24 pmNotice the " little less effort" and the ?Nomomo wrote: ↑Wed Sep 27, 2023 8:19 pmWhat are you talking about?

Re: Clarence Thomas Hikes Price of Supreme Court Decisions
Nope, not embarrassed at all - why should I be? - I have no "face" that needs saving. I do find your reaction a bit strange, however. But who am I to criticise, right?Nomomo wrote: ↑Wed Sep 27, 2023 8:48 pmHAHAHAHA................. I checked out Spaywall, and Spaywall uses https://12ft.io/. Are you embarrassed at least little now?

I had no idea of the relationship between 12ft and spaywall. I honestly believed that I was just indicating that 12ft was not the only option. Obviously I didn't probe further.
But at least I provided some entertainment value, apparently.
Totally unrelated: have you ever made an honest mistake about something when you thought you were being helpful?

Re: Clarence Thomas Hikes Price of Supreme Court Decisions
Yes, I have often made that mistake. Many a time. I was having fun with you Malkie. I sometimes I forget that when I am clowning around with someone online that they are likely to think I am being serious. So.., I was just having fun with you Malkie. Wasn't meaning to be a jerk. Just good fun. They need to create an emoji to convey when one is just joking around. Smiley faces don't effectively accomplish that.malkie wrote: ↑Wed Sep 27, 2023 10:58 pmNope, not embarrassed at all - why should I be? - I have no "face" that needs saving.

We're good, Nomomo, as far as I'm concerned. I get a bit too serious at times, and it doesn't bring out the best in me.Nomomo wrote: ↑Thu Sep 28, 2023 2:18 amYes, I have often made that mistake.

Also, I should have known better - the comments that I took umbrage at seemed out of character, and that should have given me a clue.
Please forgive me.
