"The first trip, reimbursed by Crow and his wife, Cathy, occurred on July 12, 2019, in Bali, Indonesia. Thomas indicated that he was a guest of the couple and was reimbursed for food and lodging at a hotel.

ProPublica first reported the trip to Indonesia, writing that Thomas and his wife, Ginni, vacationed with the Crows for "nine days of island-hopping in a volcanic archipelago on a superyacht staffed by a coterie of attendants and a private chef."

The cost of the trip would have exceeded $500,000 for the Thomases, according to ProPublica, but the bill was covered by Crow."

Alito may be getting legal advice as to whether he needs to disclose where he got all those flags, lol.

I think we can all figure out why Alito needs a 90-day delay(1), delay(2), delay(3), until he sees who won the election.

Otherwise, he might have his own federal judge and jury waiting for him.

Between Alito and Thomas, it appears there's a whole lot of oath violations going on.

Impeachment worthy? Probably. But we won't know until the Dems get a supermajority in the Senate.

Until then, it's just business as usual over in the Supreme Court building.

"It other words, we'll never know."

Possibly. The Senate is the only place that can hold impeachment hearings. The rules were changed from a simple majority to a 60 members vote. The Dems will need a supermajorty to meet that threshold.

Remember that when you vote for your state Senator this November.

Impeachment is totally a House of Representatives affair. Not the Senate. You're thinking of the trial AFTER the impeachment.

You're absolutely right. My error.

I was thinking about the preliminary hearing by the Dick Durbin, Chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, to discuss ethical guardrails for the U.S. Supreme Court Justices ~ a request that has been summarily ignored by the Justices even under threat of subpoena.

It's Senator Durbin's report, should he be allowed to hold hearings, to the House of Representative that would trigger a full investigation and, potentially a trial with two thirds of the Senate agreeing on a verdict.

None of this is ever going to happen (and we'll never know) unless President Biden is re-elected with a supermajority in the House and Senate.

Obviously, the Justices are incapable of self-governing so, in spite of popular opinion, they'll continue doing business as usual over at the Supreme Court building.
