Supreme Court is now illegitimate – why bother having it?
But again Obama, Clinton's, burdens are exempt from this. Uh huh
It’s a shame that our great country has to have somebody like Slicky Sam on our Supreme Court.
Yep all these billionaires just want to be buddy, buddy with Supreme Court Justices because, you know, they’re just fun to be around. I’m sure Judge Alito is a barrel of laughs when he removes his robe, just like Clarence.
I hope Alito is sleeping as well as Putin is tonight .
"We have the best government money can buy."
Mark Twain
Boy, don't these justices just remind us "common folk" of that, huh?
I mean, we KNOW all our legislators are bought and paid for, and the president…but the Supreme Court should be above whoring out themselves, but hey…power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely."
I mean really, there are probably more than just these two. How can we have ANY faith in these judges decisions anymore?
Whores. The lot of them.
Snake in a Robe!😮
No faith in the supreme court, just a bunch of entitled snobs who believes they are ABOVE the Law.
Term limits for supreme court positions, term limits for senatorial and house of representatives positions.
Was Alito under oath?
My Judges tell the Truth & aren’t up for sale 😮
This is the man who went all the way to XVII century to fish for a precedent but ignored something from 1970s
We all know Clarence Thomas is corrupt. Now Alito appears to be as well. When will Kavanaugh's true history be revealed?
There should be no position in government with a life time guaranteed position, and ethics violations should get you immediately removed.
No man is above the law, no SCOTUS, no POTUS, no one running for the president. The Richard Nixon thing still doesn't make anyone above the law.
Thesr republucans never feel embarrassed. Thats sad! They break ths law and they are okag with that!
Why should this be a surprise? Didn't Alito lie in his Senate confirmation hearing? This makes him a typical bottom feeder.
Isn't funny he RUNS to the Wall Street Journal. If there isn't enough evidence that the Supreme Court is owned by the oligarchy than this is all you need to show. The oligarchy is tired of democracy and they want to take complete control. They paid for it and they want it.
Wow the rich do what they want
Kudos to Justin Elliott who lifted the rock under which the loathsome justices hide their corruption and revealed the hypocrisy of these "Justices."
Appointed by the Rs – of course
Republicans keep proving they can buy any judge at any level including SCOTUS and get any verdict they want without consequences
Another GOP grifter taking bribes from billionaires to rule in favor of the billionaire .Sickening, We cannot TRUST the GOP SCOTUSs who take BRIBES Or if their wives makes millions off these billionaires.
Greed is so good!
Shame on all of them. Shills
“Men who look upon themselves born to reign, and others to obey, soon grow insolent; selected from the rest of mankind their minds are early poisoned by importance; and the world they act in differs so materially from the world at large, that they have but little opportunity of knowing its true interests, and when they succeed to the government are frequently the most ignorant and unfit of any throughout the dominions.”
Thomas Paine, Common Sense
If its all on the up n up, then why not report everything?????
If it were democrats that were caught red handed being corrupt, mitch would make a law to impeach and expand to get our country back to the people's issues…
George Soros is a billionaire. Does he have ties to any ELECTED officials in DC?
Nothing but crap =nbc
Supreme Court criminals.
Why is Chuck Todd spending so much time talking about whether or not Alito should have responded to the reporter or via another outlet? Talk about burying the lede…
Justices refusing to take responsibility for their actions… Farce? Tragedy? Corruption? Entitlement? We are your rulers, not your servants; how dare you question us?
All of the above!
Alito= 🎣🛩️🛳️🏖️👙💸💰 for 🗳️🗳️🗳️ 🤮
Alito knows he's lieing. This has got to stop. The Supreme Court now showing its been corrupt for year's bought and paid for by richest of Americans
This is a perfect example of one of the things journalists are supposed to do: expose corruption in our political institutions. Alito can play the victim all he wants, but the media did their job here.
Why is it that way because you need people are to afraid to confront each justice head on. Always remember what you learned in class, everyone justice uses a toilet, meaning their human not gods. That robe they wear as a show doesn't make them above the law or the constitution. Many of their rulings have nothing to do with the constitution that we the people don't have to follow
The conservative corruption!
You know what the most interesting thing about this clip, Justin Elliott has been covering the Supreme Court for six months, my question is , all the major news outlets have people covering the court full time and have been for years, why didnt they know about this stuff going on with these justices.? Maybe its because Propublica doesn't have corporate sponsers.
Alito needs 90 days to figure out what exactly ProPublica knows.
ProPublica has played its cards so that even if they have nothing, Alito can't risk ineffective concealment.
