“Justice Alito defended himself in a pre-emptive article in the opinion pages of The Wall Street Journal before the news organization ProPublica posted its account of a luxury fishing trip in 2008. His response comes as the justices face mounting scrutiny over their ethical obligations to report gifts and to recuse themselves from cases involving their benefactors.” — New York Times

The insinuation that I could be swayed to change my decisions in an influential court case by gifts is outrageous. Are little presents welcome and appreciated? Of course. But they are unnecessary, and most gifts will barely sway my opinion, if at all. No pressure either way, but household goods do make me feel especially partisan. If you insist on buying me something in anticipation of a ruling on your case, please refer to the Justice Registry.

Cutting Medicare and SS is in their DNA I’m sure you remember that moment. [S]etting aside the noteworthy yet individual promises from Republican politicians, earlier this year, in a quick-witted maneuver, President Joe Biden got dozens of Republicans to collectively agree they would not cut funding for Medicare or Social Security during his State of the Union speec “Instead of making the wealthy pay their fair share, some Republicans want Medicare and Social Security to sunset. I’m not saying it’s the majority,” Biden said. Republicans quickly cut him off with shouts of “No!,” coupled with visible head shakes and thumbs downs. Your favorite heckler Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) even stood up to shout, “Liar!” at Biden. He continued, going off script,“So folks, as we all apparently agree, Social Security and Medicare is off the books now, right?” Republicans began applauding in response to his question. “Alright, we got unanimity!” Biden replied.
