3. Scalia's free, all expenses paid trip to his death.

I put this response in another thread, but thought it would be appropriate here. Since it seems to have gone unnoticed that Scalia trip was all expenses paid. Scalia lived his last day as he lived most of his adult professional life. Unethically, getting free gifts and services from those who seek favor or access.


“I knocked on the door loudly,” said Mr. Poindexter, who said Justice Scalia and the other guests had been staying at the ranch free for the weekend. “I had him in a very large room — a suite — and I thought he might be in the bathroom.”


They probably also paid for his private plane flight.
