To be fair, they're interpreting US law, which favors moneyed interests.

The supreme court might as well wear robes with logos all over them like in NASCAR. What would be the difference at this point?

Ma'am: you must be new here. Of course the SCOTUS is outright in league with monied interests. The only evidence you need is Corporate Personhood combined with Citizen's United.
About two and a half centuries late to this party, but I'm glad someone is saying it.
The court has always favored monied interests
Duh.
It gives that impression because that is exactly what it does, and it doesn’t even try to hide it. Expand the court and impeach the openly corrupt justices like Thomas and Alito. Barrett should be removed on grounds of having been placed illegitimately alone. The court is currently an untrustworthy, corrupt, anti-democratic, unconstitutional, illegitimate institution and needs to be fundamentally rebuilt.

In a scathing dissent, Justice Jackson says the Supreme Court gives the impression it favors 'moneyed interests'
It's not an impression. It's a fact.
The newsroom ProPublica found that for several years, Clarence Thomas was paid by a group of Billionaires:

In June, the newsroom ProPublica reported that Justice Samuel Alito accepted flights on billionaire Paul Singer’s private jet right before the Supreme Court ruled on a court case involving Paul Singer’s hedge fund

Billionaire Paul Singer is a close friend of Billionaire Rupert Murdoch who owns Fox News and the Wall Street Journal.
Here is Rupert Murdoch hugging Donald Trump:
To quote Donald Trump:
“Rupert Murdoch is in a class by himself, he’s an amazing guy,” President Trump said

So the Wall Street Journal naturally allowed Samuel Alito to violently attack ProPublica journalists:
The top editor of the Wall Street Journal published a piece attacking ProPublica:
ProPublica didn't mislead anyone. Their piece just won the Pullitzer Prize for Investigative Journalism.
The Wall Street Journal isn't exactly a neutral source of information.
In fact, CBS News once described it's owner Rupert Murdoch as a "friend of Clarence Thomas"

The US is dominated a small group of businessmen who are coordinating together to influence courts. It's a conspiracy, but it's not exactly a theory. The evidence is literally all over the place. It's happening in plain sight.
But most people aren't paying attention 😔
Gee, really? No shit Sherlock...
Google Clarence Thomas and Harlan Crow.
