- ImJamal 3y agoFrankly you are making a massive assumption. We don't know how deep this behavior goes with the other justices. In 2018, Ginsburg had more trips paid for by others than any other justice for example. Since 2004, Bryer had more trips than any other justice. The fact that people are only calling out one person seems very telling to me. This problem is far deeper than one guy or one side. https://www.opensecrets.org/news/2019/06/scotus-justices-rack-up-trips/ https://www.opensecrets.org/news/2019/06/scotus-justices-rac...
- addicted 3y agoFrankly those are trips that were disclosed and Thomas’s trips weren’t. That’s one of the biggest problems with what Thomas did (and shows that he knew what he did wouldn’t pass muster). Of course, that’s assuming you’re not one of the people who believes that he truly thought a trip on a private plane does not need to be disclosed because the seat would have otherwise been taken by someone else so it wasn’t actually a benefit.
- gnicholas 3y agoI think you're confusing Thomas and Alito. https://www.axios.com/2023/06/21/alito-propublica-alaska-fishing-trip https://www.axios.com/2023/06/21/alito-propublica-alaska-fis...
