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)

I will give $100,000 to any lawyer who uses their allotted Supreme Court oral argument time to grill Thomas or Alito about their receipt of personal gifts instead of arguing the case.

Youโ€™d think Clarence Thomas being bought by Harlan Crow, Neil Gorsuch being bought by a lawyer, John Robertsโ€™ wife being bought by law firms & Samuel Alito being bought by Paul Singer, all with cases before SCOTUS & all without disclosures or recusals - would be a bigger deal.

3/8 This will go to the second round as neither candidate appears able to secure the 50%+ majority vote. In addition, there might be challenges in court that drag this out further. However, the honorable KฤฑlฤฑรงdaroฤŸlu will likely prevail to become the next President of Turkey.

1/It's impossible to pull out just one quote from this stunning โฆProPublica reportโฉ. 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. propublica.org/article/samuelโ€ฆ

Justice Alito appears to be trying to get out ahead of a new ProPublica report that will address a trip he went on with billionaire hedge fund manager Paul Singer.

Weirdly, it is published as an opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal:

Wouldnโ€™t it be nice to know the back story on how this WSJ editorial gambit got cooked up?

I know itโ€™s not the point, but it really seems like a campaign to ban (and in the meantime physically dismantle &/or blockade) all private jet travel would be exquisitely timed and targeted. Oh and, sure, & too propublica.org/article/samuelโ€ฆ
