Alito felt no reason to recuse himself from a case involving the billionaire, even after accepting a free ride on his jet to a fishing trip.

Do you think Epstein charged people for a flight on his jet? Maybe you could ask the Chief Justice.

Are you saying you don’t know?

Never bothered to look it up?

This one goes back to 2019. Supreme Court justices continue to rack up trips on private interest dime

Imagine that. A travel gift from a billionaire.

Not any more.

Seriously though. All outside gifts and attempted gifts should be both recorded and made illegal. Oustide financial contracts, jobs, ANY sort of benefit to the judge/justice or their family should be a Class A Felony against both the judge and briber.

I read this morning the long excellently researched ProPublica article that revealed that Republican Supreme Court Judge Alito enjoyed a billionaire-funded trip to Alaska, refused to report it as a gift, and did not recuse himself from at least 10 cases that awarded over $2.4 billion to his host’s Hedge Fund … in the spirit of the even more corrupt Clarence Thomas.

The same Federalist Society connected billionaires and operatives provided similar perks to now-deceased USSC Judge Scalia.

I like reading almost everything from ProPublica, which is a fine investigative news source edited by a well-known conservative ex-managing editor of the Wall Street Journal. The ProPublica article on this subject raises the curtain on much more than a single trip.

It gives examples of how sinister financial corruption in the (generally very well paid) judicial system is today, and how billionaires financing political operatives of the Federalist Society not only arrange these trips (and other substantial benefits) to right-wing judges, they provided the very list of judges that Trump appointed to the USSC and to regional Federal Judge positions.

Of course on the state level, especially in “Red States,” approval from the Federalist Society is essential for candidates even considering running for elected judicial positions.

So much for “draining the Swamp,” eh?

Justice Samuel Alito Took Luxury Fishing Vacation With GOP Billionaire Who Later Had Cases Before the Court

Alito is a crook nominated by crook Donald Trump.

Nominated by who?

 

[hjmick]

To be fair... have you ever been to Alaska?

I'd have taken the trip as well...

 

[Lastamender]

Nominated by who?

GWB nominated Alito in 2005. That guy is uninformed. And just plain dumb.

 

[Tom Paine 1949]

Nominated by who?

Judge Samuel Alito was nominated by George Bush in 2005. But the tragic story of the three USSC judges appointed by Donald Trump, and the truly huge number of other Federal Judges he selected for appointment* … is even more directly related to the sinister influence of billionaires and the Federalist Society. That story will probably not be written for decades — probably it will never be adequately researched.

* The total number of Trump Article III judgeship nominees to be confirmed by the United States Senate was 234, including three associate justices of the Supreme Court of the United States, 54 judges for the United States courts of appeals, 174 judges for the United States district courts.

 

[hjmick]

Yeah, I know who nominated him, that's why I called out the post...

 

[konradv]

You do know that there aren't really any laws against Supreme Court Justices excepting things like this.

Why don't Supreme Court justices have an ethics code?

The nine members of the nation's highest court are not bound by some of the ethics laws that other public servants, including judges, must follow.

Just judicial ethics, but MAGA only demands ethics from “the other guy”. Wonder why they’re screaming about Biden? Because they’re trying to divert attention from themselves. J6 isn’t the only way MAGA is destroying our democracy. They’re also undermining the SC!

And many have ruled against him....cause he is a criminal.
