Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito issued a fiery — and bizarre — rebuttal in The Wall Street Journal on Tuesday, defending himself against apparent ethics claims hours before they were published by ProPublica.
Justice Samuel Alito Took Luxury Fishing Vacation With GOP Billionaire Who Later Had Cases Before the Court
The Journal published the op-ed under the headline “ProPublica Misleads its Readers,” which accuses the outlet of leveling false charges against the justice.

I live in Tennessee, one of the most extreme states in America.
Trump got 60 percent of the vote in 2020. Only 3 counties voted for Joe Biden. Trump received 50 percent of the vote in the county I live in. Nine of the 11 congressional districts voted for trump.

I’m 73 and I’ve lived in my current house for 33 years. About 3 (4?) years ago, a lesbian couple bought the house a few doors down from my house. They are quiet and I don’t know much about them. They brought a dog with them, Elana, and a year or so after they moved in, they adopted a puppy and named her Roxie. Both are great dogs and I’ve gotten to know them well, as I walk my dog passed their house and Roxie and Elana love me because I always have treats for my dog in my pocket that I share with each of them as we pass their fenced in yard. But I don’t know the two people who live there because they simply aren’t very friendly.
