Justice Alito's Recusals Shine Spotlight on His Stocks

  • Summary

  • Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has recused himself far more often than his eight other colleagues in recent years, and that's because, unlike his colleagues, he holds a significant amount of stock in public companies. But what's more notable are the times Alito failed to recuse himself even though he had a conflict of interest. On this episode of our podcast, On The Merits, Bloomberg News reporter Emily Birnbaum talks about why, even with a new code of ethics, there are still few, if any, consequences to mistakes like these at the Supreme Court. She also talks about what she found combing through Alito's most recent financial disclosure documents. Do you have feedback on this episode of On The Merits?
