- Justice Samuel Alito accepted an undisclosed luxury fishing trip in 2008 from billionaire Paul Singer, arranged by operative Leonard Leo, valued at over $100,000.
- Alito later voted in favor of Singer's hedge fund in the 2014 case Republic of Argentina v. NML Capital, resulting in Singer's fund collecting $2.4 billion, raising ethical concerns about impartiality.
- In 2023, Alito conducted private interviews with David Rivkin, a lawyer representing a party in a pending Supreme Court case and also serving as Leonard Leo's personal lawyer, without recusing himself, leading to further ethics questions.
- Alito recused himself from a 2023 climate liability case involving Suncor Energy but has not recused from the same case in 2026, despite holding shares in energy companies involved and Singer's $1.97 billion stake in Suncor.
- The federal accountability mechanisms, such as the Code of Conduct for United States Judges and the Judicial Conduct and Disability Act, do not apply to Supreme Court justices, leaving state-level actions as a remaining recourse.
- A bar grievance is being filed with the New Jersey Office of Attorney Ethics under Rule 8.4(d), alleging conduct damaging to the administration of justice, based on Alito's actions across three episodes.
- A conditional criminal referral is being made to the New Jersey Attorney General under the state's bribery statute, which would become active if Alito votes in the Suncor case, linking the gift and subsequent judicial decisions.
- A charities referral is also being filed with the New York Attorney General to investigate Leonard Leo's nonprofit network for potential self-dealing, comparing it to prior actions against the Trump Foundation and NRA.
- The article calls on the public to write letters to the New Jersey Office of Attorney Ethics to advocate for an investigation, emphasizing the importance of holding Supreme Court justices accountable to ethical standards.
