The University of Notre Dame reimbursed the most justices for educational programs, paying travel for Justices Samuel Alito, Barrett, Brett Kavanaugh and Clarence Thomas for a combined six different trips.

Interesting that Alito and Thomas felt the need to disclose this travel when their luxury travel trips somehow did not warrant similar disclosures. I feel like, for Thomas especially, if he disclosed anything at all, for any reason, but then failed to do so for his luxury travel, shows that he intended to act in bad faith.

Yep. The man doesn't belong anywhere near SCOTUS.

It’s all just so frustrating because nothing is going to happen to these corrupt justices. It’s a slap in the face and then being spit on to the American people. Freaking ridiculous.

The supreme Court is now an illegitimate institution.

Man these conservative justices are getting paid and treated nice and fancy.....

So far I haven't heard nearly the same for the liberal/democrat appointed ones....

Almost like there's a specific side the rich and powerful are trying to sway......

Bro that is fucking disgusting. Why am I paying taxes and scrounging by while they love lavishly? Fuck them.

Well you see... you haven't pulled hard enough on your boot straps...

It's aggravating and I feel for you and all my fellow people out here trying to survive... good thing is we'll make it through this with our integrity and character intact and that is worth something to me.
