So the WSJ was complicit in front facing a Pro-Publica article by allowing/encouraging the Justice a pre-buttal on their pages.

There were 1,309 trips Supreme Court justices took compliments of others between 2004 and 2019, according to a list compiled by the watchdog group Open Secrets. That’s nine trips per justice, per year, and it’s unlikely they stayed at the Holiday Inn on most of them.”

Looks like it’s endemic. New laws?

The bolded is the key. We know about it because...wait for it.....checks notes....it was disclosed.

What Alito, Thomas and Gorsuch have done was NOT disclosed.

The presumption that there were other non-disclosed items is hyperbolic projection and speculation.

And yes, we need a massive ethics reform for the courts.

The GOP has to both sides this, otherwise they’re going to notice how crooked their side is.

“Here’s why my corruption isn’t corruption and, anyway, it doesn’t matter. But the liberal justices are the corrupt ones!”

Well, then, call up staff asses, write letters, and put some pressure on instead of moaning.

Put some pressure on who? The whining idjit (too much Derry Girls this week, sorry) Roberts? Maybe whiny Alito? They truly think they’re beyond any kind of rules.

Despite his clear conflicts of interest, Thomas failed to recuse on the Moore v Harper.

Gosh it’s weird how all the leaks point to Alito, and it’s not just one leak, it’s a series.

It’s also weird how Republicans haaaate leaks except when it seems like it’s a Republican doing the leaking. Like Alito leaking to try and guide the court.

This isn't going to get any better for the justices. They know how corrupt they and their families are.

I guess they are perfectly happy for their great grandchildren to suffer the shame of their existence to own the libs.
