Hi,
Should a Supreme Court Justice really be accepting $900 concert tickets
from a German aristocrat who supports far-right politicians? The answer is
no.
Yet, that’s what Samuel Alito did. He also stayed at the aristocrat’s
castle in Germany. The gifts reveal how Alito and his wife are “deeply
entrenched in an international rightwing movement that is seeking to
advance conservative Catholic policies.”^1
This is just the latest Alito scandal. He’s accepted free undisclosed
trips from GOP mega-donors and conservative legal groups. He failed to
recuse himself in the Trump immunity case even though a Stop the Steal
style flag was flying above his house during critical 2020 election
cases.^2 Congress must step in immediately to pass an enforceable, binding
code of ethics to stop the corruption on SCOTUS.

It shouldn’t be controversial that when the highest court in the land
rules on a case, decisions should be made WITHOUT the influence of big
donors and powerful friends whispering in the ears of justices.
But we’ve seen how the far-right legal movement, GOP mega-donors, and webs
of dark conservative money networks are influencing the Court — and how
the justices themselves are entrenched in right-wing extremism.
Congress needs to pass legislation to ensure strict ethical standards are
upheld on the Court.
