AOC is not happy with the Supreme Court’s decision to deny Biden’s loan bailout. Now, according to Just The News, AOC is accusing Justice Samuel Alito of corruption for accepting “lavish vacation gifts” from billionaires.
“Justice Alito accepted tens of thousands of dollars in lavish vacation gifts from a billionaire who lobbied to cancel the student loan forgiveness,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote on Twitter on Friday. “After the gifts, Alito voted to overturn. This SCOTUS’ corruption undercuts its own legitimacy by putting its rulings up for sale.”

Alito recently took flak for a flight he took paid for by a Republican donor; he responded to the lefty outrage in an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal.
“Until a few months ago, the instructions for completing a Financial Disclosure Report told judges that ‘[p]ersonal hospitality need not be reported. . . .'” Justice Alito wrote. “This understanding of the requirement to report gifts reflected the expert judgment of the body that the Ethics in Government Act entrusts with the responsibility to administer compliance with the Act. . . . When I joined the Court and until the recent amendment of the filing instructions, justices commonly interpreted this discussion of ‘hospitality’ to mean that accommodations and transportation for social events were not reportable gifts. The flight to Alaska was the only occasion when I have accepted transportation for a purely social event, and in doing so I followed what I understood to be standard practice.”
