SCOTUS Judge Alito Busted For Corruption

Yet another rightwing judge on the highest court in the land has been caught taking a huge gift under the table from an individual with business before the court.

"Approval of the Supreme Court has fallen to an all-time low, a new poll shows, as the nation nears the anniversary of the court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

A Quinnipiac University poll found just 30 percent of registered voters approved of the nation’s highest court, while 59 percent disapproved — which the poll notes is the demographic’s lowest approval rating for the Supreme Court since Quinnipiac started asking the question in 2004.

Just 10 percent of registered Democrats surveyed said they approved of the Supreme Court, compared to 53 percent of registered Republicans."

Surprise, surprise.

What's interesting is that in both the Thomas and Alito instances of corruption, it resulted from Leonard Leo and the Federalist Society hooking up a SCOTUS justice with a sugar daddy in the form of a wealthy GOP donor. Maybe an investigation of who paid off $200,000 of Kavanaugh's loans just before he became a Justice.

As they saying goes, follow the money.
