Samuel Alito

The saga began as a dispute over anti-Trump lawn signs and culminated in a profanity-filled confrontation on the street, which Justice Samuel Alito witnessed.

Chief Justice John Roberts has declined an invitation to meet with top Senate Democrats over judicial ethics, citing “separation of powers concerns.”

In two letters, Alito said it was his wife’s decision to fly two politically contentious flags, adding that neither he nor his wife was aware of the modern political connotations associated with the flags.

In a statement accompanying Thursday's disclosure, a lawyer for Thomas said there had been "no willful ethics transgressions" and called prior reporting errors "strictly inadvertent."

Justice Samuel Alito says he didn't have to disclose a 2008 luxury trip to Alaska, or the flight on a private jet of hedge fund billionaire Paul Singer who had several cases before the high court.

Justice Clarence Thomas' disclosure form had been eagerly awaited in the wake of news reports that he accepted luxury trips worth hundreds of thousands of dollars from GOP megadonor Harlan Crow.

The two justices said the court's 2015 decision Obergefell v. Hodges hurt religious liberty and "created a problem that only it can fix."
