Led by Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) a number of House Democrats have argued that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas should recuse himself from cases dealing with Obama’s Health Care law since Thomas’ wife formerly lobbied to defeat the law.

But as Stephen Colbert explained Wednesday night, that’s a moot point since there is no firm code of ethics for Supreme Court Justices.

“No one is the boss of them,” Colbert said. “That’s why when you get confirmed to the Supreme Court, you get a clerk, a gavel, and a bumper sticker sticker that says, “Suck it, Bitch.”

“And may it please the court,” he added.

That’s because Justices also don’t have to worry about reelection, which makes them “rogues” and “mavericks” — kind of like Mel Gibson in Lethal Weapon.
