Whitehouse’s assertion pierces deeper, suggesting Justice Alito’s timing aims to shield his confidant and political comrade from congressional probes. Yet, Rivkin remains silent, not addressing the claims as of now.
Whitehouse complaint against Justice Alito : Alito’s Personal Gain? Whitehouse Thinks So
Whitehouse doesn’t pull punches, insinuating Justice Alito wielded his influential position for personal gain. “Justice Alito seems to relish the fruits of his own controversial remarks,” Whitehouse quipped, alluding to Canon 2(B) which prohibits misuse of one’s office for individual benefits. Whitehouse contends that Alito might be thwarting inquiries that spotlight his own actions.
Keeping the other justices in the loop, Whitehouse envisions a structured mechanism to manage his grievances and potential others. “Is Justice Alito an innocent pawn or a deliberate player?” Whitehouse mused, urging a comprehensive examination and seeking clarity for a public on tenterhooks.
The Supreme Court, as of now, remains silent, letting the anticipation build.
