Supreme Court Justice Alito Under Fire for Accepting Unreported Luxury Trip from GOP Donor
TL;DR
Justice Samuel Alito took an unreported fishing trip with GOP megadonor Paul Singer, who flew him out on his private jet, then ruled on a case involving Singer's hedge fund without recusing himself, according to a report by ProPublica. Alito claimed he never discussed business with Singer and was unaware of his connection to the case. This follows similar reports of questionable ethics by conservative Supreme Court justices Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin has called for an enforceable code of conduct for Supreme Court justices.
