In a normal corrupt system, lobbyists have to bribe lawmakers. In the US, the court is now an unrepresentative unelected legislature with no accountability. It’s another level of corruption.
An amicus curiae brief is literally translated as friend of the court. It does not mean they are "friends" of court officials or that there's corruption afoot. It nearly means they are adding their professional opinion on a court proceeding they believe to be in need of it.
Yes I don’t mean that the amicus brief itself is corrupt, but I think many people are dreading a Lochner era style outcome from this historically corrupt and precedent breaking partisan court.
