Move over Clarence Thomas.
We got a new corrupt Supreme Court justice to talk about today, according to a massive
new report by ProPublica, who of course broke the Clarence Thomas stories, uh, with him
and Harlan Crow.
But it turns out that Justice Samuel Alito is pretty much in the same boat.
I mean, not literally.
Alito was actually in a different boat, but Samuel Alito in the year 2008 went on a luxury
fishing trip that was funded by billionaire Republican Paul Singer hedge fund operator.
Alito flew to Alaska on singer's private jet at a cost that if Alito had to pay it himself,
would've been more than $100,000.
They then enjoyed a luxury fix, uh, fishing expedition that cost more than $1,000 per
day.
And all of this, of course, in 2008 was gifted to Samuel Alito.
He even posted pictures of it cuz he was catching so many fish and having so much fun.
And hey, nothing wrong with that until Alito failed to put it on his financial disclosure
forms.
Alito did not report these gifts, which is what they are.
They were gifts from Paul Singer and then the story gets worse cuz it's not just, oh
well, he took gifts and didn't report 'em.
Yeah.
Okay.
But at 10 different times after that trip, 10 different times, Paul Singer's hedge fund
had a case in front of that Supreme Court.
And you know what didn't happen?
Samuel Alito did not recuse himself from any of those 10 cases, not a single one.
So you took gifts from a billionaire hedge fund manager.
You didn't report the gifts, then you ruled mostly in his favor.
I might add on 10 different cases that he was personally involved in.
Enough is enough.
The Supreme Court needs to be disbanded and rebuilt.
You can't fix corruption at this level.
These people were given a lifetime free pass.
And because we likely will never have the numbers in the Senate to actually remove these
people from office via impeachment, there is nothing we can do.
There's nothing we can do.
When I know folks say, well, no, we could do you.
No, you can't.
You really actually, genuinely frigging can't.
And I don't want just take away all the hope that people may have.
Like, well, maybe we could do.
There's nothing there.
You know what, there is one thing, there is one thing we could have done.
Remember when Biden came into office and the big thing, because Trump had
Packed the, the court and Mitch McConnell broke his rule because everybody knew he was
gonna break his rule about, uh, uh, confirming Coney Barrett in an election year.
Um, Biden put together his little commission to determine would it be a good idea to expand
the Supreme Court.
Hm.
And then everybody forgot about the commission and then they sheepishly came back and said,
no, we think it's politically toxic to expand the Supreme Court, so we're not gonna do it.
Hmm.
Gee, how different things could have been had he not put a group of spineless cowards
on that commission could have already expanded it.
And by expanding it, we then could have amended the rules and forced these two corrupt justices
off the court.
But hey, hindsight's 2020.
Right?
It's not like anybody could have predicted these people were gonna be the most corrupt
humans to ever serve on that court.
No, this is ridiculous.
It's infuriating.
I'm beyond effing about this because we're still barely scratching the surface.
If it wasn't for the amazing work at the people of ProPublica, we wouldn't know about any
of this.
The corruption would've still existed, but we wouldn't know about it.
So 100% hats off the ProPublica absolutely the best there is.
And they're gonna keep coming.
There's gonna be more stories and we're gonna sit here and get more and more off while our
democratic leaders continue to tell us like, well, we could have done something.
We just didn't want to.
