1. What about prosecuting the persons giving the bribes?

At minimum, the Crow and Leonard should be criminally investigated because it all looks like a bribe. Investigating the bribers will at least mean that the flow of money to the Supreme Court will trickle and stop.

3. Republicans

Weak or not, it's only Republicans who refuse to take action if Dems could, they'd do something about it.
