Justice Samuel Alito Took Luxury Fishing Vacation With GOP Billionaire Who Later Had Cases Before the Court
propublica.org
In early July 2008, Samuel Alito stood on a riverbank in a remote corner of Alaska. The Supreme Court justice was on vacation at a luxury fishing lodge that charged more than $1,000 a day, and after catching a king salmon nearly the size of his leg, Alito posed for a picture. To his left, a man stood beaming: Paul Singer, a hedge fund billionaire who has repeatedly asked the Supreme Court to rule in his favor in high-stakes business disputes.
Singer was more than a fellow angler. He flew Alito to Alaska on a private jet. If the justice chartered the plane himself, the cost could have exceeded $100,000 one way.

Members of the SCOTUS are crooked and on the take.
impeach and remove. or we should just stop listening to them. they don't have an army to enforce their rulings. not that any left leaning president* would have the balls to do so, but it would be the moral thing to do at this point.
There's no mechanism iirc.
I want it to happen to, I want them to have to report to an ethics committee yearly and if something smells fishy (and this time a little bit like salmon) they should have a trust vote by the American public.
Is it any wonder? The money will always try to influence politics and the Supreme Court is the smallest number of individuals with power besides the president. Get a few on your side and so is the law
