 Ocasio-Cortez slams Alito for ‘corruption’ over student loan decision
by Jared Gans - 06/30/23 12:12 PM ET

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) slammed Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito for alleged “corruption” following the court’s rulings on President Biden’s student loan forgiveness program.

The court struck down the debt relief plan in a 6-3 ruling Friday, with the majority finding that the Biden administration had not received authorization from Congress to issue the thousands of dollars in loan forgiveness for many borrowers.

Alito has recently faced criticism surrounding an ethical controversy about a flight he took that was paid for by a major Republican donor. Progressives called on Alito to recuse himself from the two cases concerning the loan forgiveness program, as an organization that the donor leads filed an amicus brief supporting the challenges against the program.

“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 said Friday following the ruling. “After the gifts, Alito voted to overturn. This SCOTUS’ corruption undercuts its own legitimacy by putting its rulings up for sale.”

Amid ethical controversies surrounding gifts that Justice Clarence Thomas accepted but did not publicly disclose, ProPublica published a report earlier this month that Alito went on a luxury fishing trip in 2008 with Paul Singer, a billionaire hedge fund leader and GOP donor who has had business before the court.

Both stupid and immaterial.  Get rid of Alito’s vote, and it’s still 5 to 3 against the loan program.

Has anyone investigated whether the dimbulb bartender has student loan debt - or has made any effort to pay it off?

Hey, Sandy Cortez: You may not have gotten your student loans forgiven but at least people in Ukraine have some walking around money.
