#SCOTUS Justice Samuel Alito took a luxury fishing vacation to #Alaska 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
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
@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.
One thing I notice in your comment is that you focus on the "gifts from a billionaire" which doesn't really have relevance instead of the size of the gift, which might.
It really illustrates how manufactured and misleading these stories are, how much they focus on ad hominem issues while leaving more relevant facts aside.
Let's look at his actual discharge of his duties, his actual reasoning presented in SCOTUS opinions, not this yellow journalism.
@darwinwoodka From your mouth to god’s ears - I didn’t even get to see what right wing BS he said before his account was suspended.
@volkris @amart @w7voa In what world is this ok with you, you right wing shill?
