putting the Fix the Court data into a pie chart (usually the worst form of chart) really helps communicate the scale of what is happening here docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

I think the wedges should be colored according to whether they were a republican or democratic appointee.

Just a suggestion (I worked in data for yrs), adding 1st names (or initials, if it's a space consideration) + yrs on court would be helpful. I'm no fan of Rehnquist, but > 30 yrs on SCOTUS & <$13k in gifts is commendable & even more damning re Thomas. Kudos!

Weird, when you rank the current justices this way, each one is equivalent to everyone below them, combined. 🤔 But Thomas is just astronomical!

Is there a wedge that represents the dollar amount of gifts these folks *should* be receiving? I'm ignorant of the way this works but I would like to think that amount should be at or near $0 per lifetime appointment.
