Any little thing
By 
America’s sorest winner is committed above all else to the idea that his immense power should come without any accountability:
Justice Samuel Alito is less than thrilled about all the news coverage on his seemingly compromised ethics.
In a secret tape released late Tuesday by Rolling Stone, the conservative justice can be heard arguing that a series of ProPublica pieces from 2023, which detailed lavish gifts Justice Clarence Thomas accepted from a Republican megadonor, was nothing more than a political hit piece.
Alito’s comments were recorded by advocacy journalist Lauren Windsor during the Supreme Court Historical Society’s annual dinner on June 3, an opportunity leveraged by many right-wing activists to cozy up to members of the nation’s highest judiciary.
“They don’t like our decisions, and they don’t like how they anticipate we may decide some cases that are coming up. That’s the beginning of the end of it,” Alito said, before going a bit conspiratorial regarding one of the nation’s most prestigious investigative news outlets: “There are groups that are very well-funded by ideological groups that have spearheaded these attacks. That’s what it is.”
“They look for any little thing they can find and they try to make something out of it,” Alito added. “That’s what it is.”
“It is very bad when ideological groups invest resources into try to influence public institutions….er, wait, I’ll come in again.”
Anyway, do you expect this humble public servant to try to pay for lavish luxury vacations, sedition flags, and so forth entirely out of his own kick?
