The media, in close coordination with lefty agitprop operations like ProPublica, has been running a series of fake scandals targeting conservative Supreme Court justices. Then Democrats moan about “ethics problems” at the Supreme Court which will require a good dose of court packing and perhaps a totalitarian state.

But of all the lame fake ethics scandals, they’ve really hit the motherlode.

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito sold shares of beer giant Anheuser-Busch InBev as conservatives were ditching the Bud Light brewer over its partnership with a transgender social media influencer. On the same day that Alito sold Anheuser-Busch, he then bought the same amount of stock in Molson Coors, a company with a history of facing political boycotts of its own, the filing shows.

Who could forget the landmark Bud Lite v. Women case before the court which was decided by a narrow 5-4 vote.

Nothing about this story involved a Supreme Court case or was likely to. It has literally nothing to do with anything and coming off a fake scandal about Alito’s wife reportedly flying a flag upside down, the media was in sub-lame territory already.

What’s the issue with Alito buying and selling beer stocks?

The transactions have bred fresh accusations that Alito, one of the high court’s six conservatives, is engaging in or aligning with partisan politics, despite a recently adopted code of conduct that directs the justices to “refrain from political activity.”

Buying and selling stocks is not “political activity”. Furthermore, the stock trades predated the code (not that the code even has anything to do with anything) making it impossible to find a hook for the media’s story.

What’s the ‘there’ here?

Selling InBev and buying Coors was a smart move and plenty of liberals good at following trends probably did it themselves. Justices are still human beings, have political opinions and have the right to make personal economic decisions based on those views. No one would deny Sotomayor the right to boycott Arizona iced tea (old George Lopez reference) or Kagan the right not to buy Tom Clancy novels. The only reason Alito’s stock trades even became public is because the media tried to push another fake scandal and then declared that Alito’s stock trades represent political activity.

If the media were any more of a corrupt hypocritical partisan joke, it would have to move to Cuba.
