Justice Samuel Alito took a luxury fishing vacation to with a hedge fund billionaire who later had at least 10 cases before the court. https://www.propublica.org/article/samuel-alito-luxury-fishing-trip-paul-singer-scotus-supreme-court

damnkimberlee,

@w7voa And Americans are supposed to “submit” to the will of the court? When it’s was bought by dirty dark money??

Your Supreme Court, bought and paid for, everybody!

Congrats to the right wing billionaire owners of our government.

@w7voa They should have gone exploring the Titanic together in a submersible...

ReggieGoodwin,

@w7voa Can we please all start saying that “The Supreme Court” is neither?

@w7voa refused to comment, but published an opinion on it in WSJ! (basically leaking the article, the way he leaked the Dobbs draft)

Wow. I've never been to court in my life, and this guy had 10 cases? Sounds criminal to me.

BoloBoffin,

@w7voa Come for the news about Alito, stay for the photo of Scalia making martinis with ice chipped from the receding Hubbard glacier.

Hours before the Pro Publica story was posted, Justice Alito tried to defend himself with an opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal. https://www.wsj.com/articles/propublica-misleads-its-readers-alito-gifts-disclosure-alaska-singer-23b51eda

halfcocked,

@w7voa "I didn't know a plane ride was something of value because my megadonor benefactor owned the plane and was flying there, too" is really the best he could come up with in two months?

amart,

@w7voa What planet or universe does this guy live on? From the Wall Street Journal response of Alito: “There is an appearance of impropriety when an unbiased and reasonable person who is aware of all relevant facts would doubt that the Justice could fairly discharge his or her duties” and he goes on to imply, of course no reasonable person would think that me receiving gifts from a billionaire would possibly influence my decision.

toxtethogrady,

@w7voa Fuck him. And here's more on Paul Singer, who deserves his own special place in Hell...
