The U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has found himself in hot water after being pictured on a luxury fishing vacation courtesy of a hedge fund billionaire—who later appeared before the court to ask the justices to rule in his favor.

 

Like many other fishing aficionados, Alito proudly posed for a photo with the huge king salmon he caught during the trip in the summer of 2008.

 

He probably didn’t think twice about the snap, until yesterday, when ProPublica revealed that the fellow angler pictured was none other than billionaire hedge fund titan Paul Singer.

 

The exposé alleges that Singer flew Alito to an Alaska resort on his private jet, a trip that reportedly would have cost Alito more than $100,000 one way if he had chartered the jet on his own.

 

According to ProPublica, in the years that followed the undisclosed trip, Singer’s hedge fund came before the court "10 times" in various high-profile business disputes.

I wonder what Alito's voting record was on those cases...

Always interesting when someone’s decorum is called out when attacking one of their own members versus when they are blatantly rewarded for the same behavior when it’s everyone else.

Again, the blatant efforts to rewrite history from today’s repubs. This, culture wars, and specious investigations — they are not intent on governing or delivering solutions for the people.

 

Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) is throwing his weight behind the conservative effort to expunge the two impeachments of former President Trump, saying Trump’s behavior didn’t rise to a level that merited either punishment, and he would like to eradicate both votes from history.

Will Trump agree to exile in Belarus?

What we are discovering as conservatives and as parents is that education really is evangelism. So if you don't control education you cannot control the future. Stalin knew this. Mao knew this. And Hitler knew this. 


They’re literally drawing direct comparisons to Stalin, Mao, and Hitler and openly stating that they need to take the same approach.  
 

And they don’t see the problem with this.  

 

I’d  be very interested to hear their explanation of how theocracy and evangelical dictatorship tie into the principles upon which this country was founded and what the founding fathers envisioned for America.
