    The story about this story makes Alito look even worse. Although how it can be worse than blatantly accepting bribes in the form of luxury vacations....

    This is only half the story. When ProPublica reached out to Alito to ask for comment before publishing, Alito ran to the Wall Street Journal with the full text of the unpublished article and wrote an op-ed complaining about the reporting before it came out.

    He's corrupt as fuck. Now, the question is does anyone who can do anything about it actually care?
