Maybe we need teams of SCOTUS Paparazzi's to follow each justice around 24/7.
I stopped taking the supreme court seriously when they started treating corporations like people and people like things…
You should read the Constitution.
If a police chief went on a fishing trip with a cartel leader. Be all over the news. There are no checks and balances on corporations and there paid high level politicians.
Man you must be old. SCOTUS started treating corporations as a person.
Co. v. Riggs (203 U.S. 243 (1906)
Oh just the supreme court huh? You realize our entire government is run by big corporations and banks right? Every single politician is owned.
Dude went on a fishing trip. Calm down.
SCOTUS is like the parent who subscribes to the maxim, "Don't do what I do; do what I say."
A corrupt and unprincipled extremist doesn't want to be held accountable. How novel.
Like Biden......
@@TenmaStupiditylike Trump or any politician taking money from corporate donors.
@@calvinr.johnsonjr.9076 Then I suggest you compare the DNC donor Lists vs Trump.....the DNC receives 40-50% of their Donations from Major Corporations...
@@TenmaStupidity and so does Trump. He also get international donations. Smh the republicans donors are afraid of Trump they will give him money (that he will pocket) if he wins that nomination.
@@TenmaStupidity also most of the donors for the DNC also gives money to the Republican party
Sureee because Alito looks like such a fun guy, he has all of these donor friends because they are just great guys. Is anybody else buying this?
Corruption at its highest degree… pay them minimum wages
Lol!!! I would have gotten fired for a 50 dollar gift. Must be real good being GOP😂
The party of criminal.
It happens on both sides, are you kidding? They are all on the take. If you can't see it happening in your own preferred party, you are not looking very closely.
I hope this does not surprise anyone.
Well the world sees why these “ powerful “ individuals get away with criminal acts…. Under the influence huh!!!
If he wasn't a SC justice, do you think the billionaire would have even known who Allito was ?!
No sir he wouldn't corrupt sob's the whole worthless ass lot
So it's Okay when Biden, Obama and Hillary do it.....but It's not okay when a Justice does it?
@@TenmaStupidity Here we go with Biden, Obama and Hillary you forgot trumpkkk .get a life and open you're eyes.
Y’all love to pull that whataboutism , even if the situations are not vaguely the same!! So this selling out to billionaire donors is commonplace, even with the Republican Supreme Court justices; and here I thought it was just ReTrumplicans in the House & Senate, getting big donor checks from the NRA, gun manufacturers and fossil fuel companies. These ReTrumplicans have severely tarnished the reputation of the Court!
Alito should resign.
He did nothing wrong.
Didn't Alito lie during his conformation hearing? I guess old habits are hard to break.
You mean like Merrick Garland lied to congress
For a “Supreme Court Justice,” he seems to have trouble following rules. You get what you vote for.
Because it's almost impossible to do anything to an SCJ. They shouldn't be allowed to serve until death lol and that's why there is so much corruption.
Can anyone from the far right defend this?
The last American revolution was fought to remove ONE king. Now we appear to have NINE all dressed in robes.
Just the Repuglican ones
Don’t care smoking on that billionaire pack 💀🚬
Hey Jack, are ou watching? Can the donors be charged for not reporting payoffs to SCOUS? The only way to change this is to go after the big money bribe payers.
Atleast he didn't take 5 billion dollar bribe like Biden
That seat would not have been vacant because it would have been filled by someone other than a Supreme Court Justice.
They know they're above the law and so are the corrupt donors.
Is anyone really surprised? An honest question, is anyone genuinely surprised when anyone who represents our government is found to be on the take? And what does that say about our country?
These men are not billionaires but American oligarchs by conduct
Conflict of interest impeach
How can this guy look himself in the mirror. Life is short. What kind of memorial does he think he will leave?
If they are this resistant to independent oversight, that means it’s a great idea. They’ve given the public no legit reason to take them at their word. Meanwhile, some Justices, through their actions, have shown that they feel themselves above reproach and have no issue taking “gifts” and then sitting in on cases involving benefactors. I believe their actions, not their words. If they don’t want to get with the program and are too afraid of oversight, maybe the Supreme Court isn’t for them and they should find another line of work. Tell Clarence and Sam that I heard that Subway and Wendy’s are hiring.
"Independent" the trip happened in 2008. There are also a number of landmark decisions coming out soon. Of all the times to investigate Alito for such actions in the past 15 years, they choose to do so now, almost as if they wanted to do it when it was politically convenient.
"Independent oversight" my ass
@@ragingshibeafter all of this you're still protecting them. You are disgusting
@@ragingshibe You are aware that the media would in no way be a part of the gov’t oversight of Supreme Court, aren’t you? Besides, it is their job to uncover stories such as these. Besides, with all these important decisions upcoming, and with Sam doing a Clarence impersonation, I personally believe it GOOD for skeletons to be drug out of the closet. I don’t care if they belong to Sam, Clarence, Chief John, Kagan, KBJ, Boof McBusyhands, Opus Dei Lady, or whomever. The conduct of our Justices should be above reproach, and their dealings above board and capable of passing the smell test. Sam and Clarence’s smell not so great, one should be able to admit, at the very least, it’s not a good look and screams “impropriety”.
Flush the Supreme Court justices
They all do it. Dissolve the supreme court.
They all do it Republican and democrat alike.
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg got a private tour of Israel in 2018 that was paid for by an Israeli billionaire, Morris Kahn, who had business before the court. Many other justices have taken questionable trips over the years, including weeklong trips paid for by big universities and law schools, some of which were not fully disclosed on their annual reports.
Republicans do it ALOT more
@@coolcat6303
You must be a democrat.
Lock him up!
Term limits for all elected or appointed officials,to stifle corruption among public officials
What’s there to defend? He went fishing 🎣
It’s been said before, by much smarter people than me, but what an absolutely mortifying era for nina totenberg and all the other members of the prestigious supreme court reporting club. just fully asleep at the wheel for like DECADES.
Like, what was even the point of you?!
Neither judge broke the law.
So now what???
Nobody's using that money in the bank teller's drawer to buy nuthin', but if he puts it in this bag, it can buy sumthin'. No, that ain't a gun, I'm just happy to see you.
SC has judge for sale.
Normal Gop behavior
It's ok to have rich friends!!
What did Nancy get from insider trading?
They are trying to remove the justices one by one 😅
Corrupt judge
My Friends take me Fishing.😊
So this was 15 years ago? Next story.
No matter what side....dirty, dirty, dirty.......
really nothing to defend. Powerful people in D.C. hang out with rich and powerfull people. Always have and it was true in 1800 and 1865 andd 1964.... nothing to see here.
Oh I thought this was a rerun of Democratic US Senator Robert Menendez story minus the underage hookers in the Menendez freebie trip.
Hunter took 8 Million....the Judge went trout fishing,
Alito votes for his sugar daddies’ bills.
Note to self : only trips with poor people.......
Alito. Supreme Court Justice who was bought and paid for.
All the politicians calling this out are even more guilty
Amazing how they insist on defending the indefensible, must be nice to have a job where you can interpret the law for others and then break it whenever it suits you because there's no system of accountability for their actions.
Satomayor didn’t recuse herself when she sat on cases involving her publisher who has paid her 3.6 million dollars for books she’s written. Seem like a bit of a conflict of interest to not do that after the defendant Your case paid you 3.6 million dollars and counting.
Fiction.
@@xxx380xxx penguin random house is her sole employer outside the courts. It’s public records dummy, I’m sorry facts hurt your feels.
@@dustincaso6781 I checked out your facts. I was so disappointed that you were right. Next time I’ll do the checking before I scream fiction. I was dumb, you were right about that too……working on it.
Okay? And? Do you think the people attacking the justices over this are fine with Sotomayor doing it?
@@boomzy9532 yes, not one person attacking the conservative justices support attacks against sotomayor after learning about her conflict of interest with penguin random house.
Do you support removing her like democrats want to remove Alito and Thomas?
Rich people are friends with other rich people. Leave the Justices alone. They have to listen to all of you criminals whining. They need a break to go fishing from time to time.
What man with any pride or self respect would let another man pay his way like this? Nope, gotta be dirty.
Hey fake news who murdered Ashley babbit
😂. Hail Russia and China!
This, is getting to be too much like comedy.
No matter what a scotus does, its ok if he says its ok.
Of course its fine to not report 100's of 1000's in gifts from mega GOP donors.
Clarence says its ok. Alito says its ok. Game over. We have to just trust them implicitly.
Of course they want no oversight.
Я Барташук Олександр. Ще з дитинства став жертвою використання військових технологій голоса Бога, ультразвуків, програмованих снів, схрещування людей сімейно будівельним, релігією і прихожанами чи то католиків, чи то Москвичів католиків, продавцями. Розказуючи у цих програмованих снах, що західні країни погані. Звісно це не так. Ще в дитинстві нам дітям казав один чоловік прокурор, щоб ми діти одні писали на машинах z,v , інші щоб пропускали ті машини, інші зупиняли. Звісно я в цьому не брав участі. В школі на водили у католицький костел після цього заводили у підвал де роздягали і фотографували поліцейські разом із св Але ці всі люди так само при владі. Нічого не змінилося. Я ще з дитинства розумів, що треба брати приклад з Польщі. Як залякували в дитинстві, так само і залякують в 2020,2021, 2022, 2023. Як нанесли дефект, одружили на тій людині на Яремчук Гані, в якої вроду хворі та трансгендери, бо мають в СБУ дядька, що поліція робила гіпноз, військові, вори в законі. Так і лякали армією, що мене там вб'ють. Коли я виявляв вплив, залякували, що могли схрестити з людиною в якої сім пальців, чи заячою губою, промивали мозги. А коли дізналися, що хочу в Америку, був викрадений, де в прокуратурі розказували як мене вбють. В 2004 був за євромайдан. А в 2014 нас влада возила на антимайдан під страхом звільнення. Була провокація поліцією в 2017 році коли наводили автомат, робили персмикування в ньому, розмовляючи на російській мові і поліція ображала українську. Коли сказав що за Байдена і за президента звільнили з роботи з адміністрації, звісно це співпало з скороченням. Але мабуть стояв вибір я чи начальник. Залякування не припинялися, думав що зв'язано з виборами, але ні, так і не припинилися. Був з дитиною поки, матір дитини влаштовувала своє особисте життя з Олегом.Подала на розлучення вказавши у заяві, що поганий батько і чоловік, звісно сказала, що це не правда, бо такий у суді шаблон заяви. Був на заробітках два рази по три місяці. Але як і здогадувався, що в цьому задіяна поліція, військові. Була провокація на бійку.Звісно, що я думав, що поліція хоче хабар за довідку про несудимисть. Постійне ніби полювання, залякування, бомжами, керівниками установ, людиною з вівчаркою, грубістю продавців, підсовування спорчених товарів, проникненням у житло, сліди собаки на підлозі, містика, переслідування машинами з накачаними людьми, побиття коли гуляв з дитиною друзями мами колишньої дружини, щоб дитина боялася бути з татом, звернення в поліцію, викрадення поліцією і тримання місяць в псих лікарні, при цьому розказування, що є люди там пожиттєво. При цьому батьки колишньої дружини Алла Яремчук і Василь, ніби католики, які мають родичів у Москві. Вони забирають дитину собі і дуже тяжко забрати до себе хоча б на пару годин. Вони ж не батьки, але використовують владу військових, поліції, розвідки, прихожан, криміналітету. А коли домовлявся з колишньою дружиною, щоб забрати дитину на канікули і приїхавши по неї під всякими приводами не дозволяє забирати. Звісно прийшлося продати будинок і половину грошей відав колишній дружині, А також плачу аліменти на дитину. Звісно шукав роботу, але за мною їздили оці люди з влади, які контролюють все показуючи, що роботи не знайдеш, А також отруюють. Я без роботи 2019 по 2023 рік. Звісно якщо знайду це скінчиться повісткою і потрібно захищати владу, яка знущалася з дитинства і по теперішній час, при цьому показуючи, що вона влада і до тепер ці всі методи використовує. Але я продовжую платити аліменти в розмірі 4700. Але влада придумала, що безробітній має платити аліменти з віртуальної середньої заробітної плати, яка становить 17500 грн. Хоча реальні зарплати в людей 5000, 7000 грн. Не говорячи чи отримають чи теж безробітні. Але влада всеодно придумає, що якщо людина безробітні, але хоче отримати субсидію, то рахується, що людина отримує дві заробітні плати. Так і вчителям і медикам підвищують зарплату, А потім ці постановиви скасовують. Так і держслужбовцям підвищують зарплату, точніше оклад, який в два рази менший мінімальної зарплати.Так і виходить, що підвищення в100 грн. Звертаюся до європейських країн і США, щоб дали захист, притулок, громадянство. Бо складається враження що хтось хоче в НАТО щоб мати доступ до всіх секретів ніби шпигун, і до всіх новітніх технологій. Хто до цього причетний Питель, Козєровський, Бортнік,Ткачук, Козар, Яремчук, Воробйов...Житомирське, Хмельницьке СБУ, поліція, військові, влада.
Now ask about the luxury vacations taken by Ruth Buzzi Ginsberg.
I hate to break this to you pal, but she's dead
😂😂
Hunter Biden
IT IS NOT A BRIBE!
IT IS JUST A REALLY BIG GIFT THAT HELPS THE JUSTICE MAKE DECISIONS.
Justice Samuel Alito is disappointed members of the bar are not defending his hiding large gifts taken from people with issues before the court. So it is time for me to take a stand. I hope Alito is criminally charged so I can properly rise to his defense!
It would be like defending the evil businessman in the movie "The Other Guys." (I'll give you both $10,000. It is not a bribe.')
You peons have no clue!!!
(Good enough defense there for you Sammy the Salmon?)
For a “Supreme Court Justice,” he seems to have trouble following rules. You get what you vote for.
So this was 15 years ago? Next story.
