Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito’s Luxury Fishing Trip Raises Questions About Ethics and Influence of Wealthy Individuals

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has been accused of ethical misconduct after taking a luxury fishing trip to Alaska in 2008 aboard a private jet chartered by a hedge fund billionaire.

This has sparked a debate about the ethical standards of Supreme Court Justices and the potential for conflicts of interest.
