Justice Alito took high-cost gift from billionaire and then ruled in his favor


ProPublica has another devastating story about lack of ethics among Supreme Court Justices -- this time it's Samuel Alito. In 2008, Alito accepted a free fishing trip from billionaire Paul Singer that would have cost at least tens of thousands of dollars. He didn't disclose it under the "hospitality" exception that the justices use to hide their corruption. Six years later, Alito failed to recuse himself and ruled in favor of Singer's hedge fund in a dispute with the nation of Argentina.
