Senator Exposes Alito's Dubious Ethics Defense.

Senator Sheldon Whitehouse criticized Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito's excuses in response to ethics questions raised in a report about a free luxury fishing trip. Alito failed to report the trip on his financial disclosure forms and didn’t recuse himself from cases involving Singer’s businesses. Whitehouse said Alito's excuses were "preposterous" and investigators would "get to the bottom of" ethics bombshells involving Alito and his fellow conservative Justice Clarence Thomas. Whitehouse also highlighted the need to scrutinize "this creepy group of right-wing billionaires who are meddling in the Supreme Court."
