Sam Alito accepted tens of thousands of dollars in lavish vacation gifts from a billionaire who lobbied to cancel the student loan forgiveness.
After the gifts, Alito voted to overturn case(s). This SCOTUS’ corruption undercuts its own legitimacy by putting its rulings up for sale.
As this retired federal judge and law professor point out, Judge Alito “misstated the law” in his self-serving defense of billionaire-funded travels. In court, you’d run into a “candor to the tribunal” problem if you tried that.
@skykiss how in the world did we end up here, with absolutely no protections against corrupt judges. "No we don't need to put laws on them, they're trustworthy just by virtue of being on the court!"
