"The justices on the Supreme Court must know that they will be called upon this week to rule on an appeal from defendant Trump. Given that knowledge, it is shocking that Justice Alito spoke to Trump by telephone on Tuesday of this week….
The contact between Trump and Alito was unseemly and likely unethical."

"Alito either believes we are idiots and don’t understand the corrupt nature of the call, or Alito doesn’t care what we think. My money is on the latter.
Alito is out of control and is giving the 'judicial middle finger' to the American public and to the feckless John Roberts who has lost all control over the Court."

"Trump and Alito, two men who disdain ethical constraints, chatted on Tuesday. The next day, Trump asked the Supreme Court to stop his New York criminal sentencing — and to give presidents-elect complete immunity."

"Alito said he didn't know Trump was headed to SCOTUS, which is really odd, because the whole rest of the legal world knew it was coming."

"Donald Trump is freely sharing his plans to run a nation where laws apply to others but not him — a framework encouraged by Chief Justice John Roberts — and their arguments are reaching a crescendo this week."

"On Wednesday, Trump’s lawyers asked the U.S. Supreme Court to extend 'a sitting President’s complete immunity from criminal prosecution' to the 'Presidential transition' period or, at the least, to stop the sentencing while appeals continue."
