Another well flattered trick for supreme pimp Leonard Leo. Happy days.
Will the real justice ever begin.
More blatant bribery of Republican Supreme Court members. Alito belongs in jail.
“We know this looks bad…because it is bad,” Trevor Noah.
Alito gets mighty offended at anything resembling accountability
It’s amazing that at least 2 SC Justices can’t understand the written directions on how to fill out travel and expense forms.
“No reasonable person” meaning Leonard Leo? Please. Bought and paid for. The best Supreme Court money can buy. I’m so proud of them.
I can still picture Alito mouthing “not true” to President Obama’s prediction about Citizens United-fueled corruption.
Is anyone really surprised? The shock would be if the only scandal was a tan suit
Bought, corrupted and compromised and ain’t nothing you can do about it.
They love all that pretend manly stuff. Could they be more obvious.
Lords and peasants.
There are not different rules for each group.
Rules simply do not apply to lords (or rather barely apply).
Try any of this shit as a peasant and get crucified.
Just following Scalia’s example.
So both Alito and Thomas are going with “But I got bad legal advice.”?
The justice said he does not remember if he was served wine, but if he was, it didn’t cost $1,000 a bottle. since alito didn’t pay for anything, how would he know what the wine cost?
Every time I see photos like this I think wow, you outsmarted a fish
He added that the public should wonder whether ProPublica’s coverage is “bait for reeling in more dark money from woke billionaires who want to damage this Supreme Court and remake it into one that will disregard the law by rubber stamping their disordered and highly unpopular cultural preferences.”
It’s impossible to take seriously anyone in politics (or public life in general) when they use these phrases with a straight face. I’m surprised he didn’t include the usually de rigueur George Soros reference.
In his op-ed, Alito described the lodge as a “comfortable but rustic facility.” in other words, the next bribe offered to him should have more luxurious accommodations
ProPublica does it again! I hope they put all their Supreme Court Grifters Reports in a book, with side reports on Leonarch Leo, et al. What is clearer than what this lodge worker witnessed:
“Sam Alito is in the red jacket there,” one lodge worker said, as he narrated an amateur video of the justice on the water. “We take good care of him because he makes all the rules.”
The Guardian also covered this report from ProPublica today:
On Tuesday, Alito published a “prebuttal” to the new ProPublica report, using a Wall Street Journal column to say the piece was coming and to deny wrongdoing.
What Department in this Government will take on the Leonard Leos and the Singers and the other influence peddlars and bribery that has been a blatant factor in the Supreme Court for so long?
