Not that it surprises me in the least.

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito took a luxury fishing trip to Alaska with billionaire Paul Singer, whose hedge fund then had repeated business before SCOTUS over the years that followed.

Alito never disclosed the trip or recused himself from Singer's cases. (THREAD) pic.twitter.com/mVWEInOUfa

No shade against ProPublica….but, all the major papers have Supreme Court reporters…..how come none of them got these stories?🤔🤔🙄🙄

.@SenBooker on Alito reportedly taking luxury fishing trip with billionaire: "The cure to this is that our courts should have ethics. You should not be able to jump on the private jet of someone who has matters before the Court."

JUST IN: In the wake of ProPublica's latest, Judiciary Chair Durbin & Sen. Whitehouse announce that "when the Senate returns after the July 4th recess, the Senate Judiciary Committee will mark up Supreme Court ethics legislation. … [I]f the Court won’t act, then Congress must." pic.twitter.com/B5P0uTVqfV

On Justice Alito’s “response” to the ProPublica piece. Whatever one might say abt its merits, Alito’s piece could work as a decision denying a motion to recuse. That’s why we need full financial disclosure. So that recusal motions/challenges can be made BEFORE THE CASE IS HEARD.

Justice Alito has always had tissue thin skin — That time at the SOTU when Obama spoke up about the problems we’d face ahead with special interest groups due to Citizens United, it was Alito that mouthed, “not true” because he took it as a personal attack.pic.twitter.com/Sre7Fzbbzf

Alito's excuse here (the private jet seat would have gone unused otherwise) is for the ages. But you start to see the bigger picture which is that Leonard Leo basically pairs each new Justice w a billionaire sponsor family when they arrive. https://t.co/LZoHk3pV1I

1/It's impossible to pull out just one quote from this stunning ⁦@propublica report⁩. Justice Alito vacationed with & at the expense of people, one of whom had cases in front of the Court Alito participated in. He says he didn't have to report it. https://t.co/ar7pz8GtdR

3/Alito was asked comment before it was published. He declined to, but published in the Wall Street Journal. The man to his left in the photo is hedge fund billionaire Paul Singer who "has repeatedly asked the Supreme Court to rule in his favor in high-stakes business disputes" pic.twitter.com/SJMwZ6CF5W

Let’s keep a laser focus as well on Chief Justice John Roberts. Who continues to resist a Supreme Court code of ethics and stands by while the integrity of the court is shattered. This is how the Roberts Court will be remembered. Along with Citizens United, Shelby County & Dobbs.
