Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito's sale of Anheuser-Busch InBev (AB InBev) stock has raised ethical questions. The sale occurred after the company's stock took a hit due to a boycott related to Dylan Mulvaney. Critics argue that Alito's actions were justified as the boycott was public knowledge, and he was not hearing a related case. Some experts contend that SCOTUS judges should not hold individual stocks, but given current allowances, Alito's actions were within legal bounds. The company had taken a massive sales hit to a core product.
Old and busted: Kavanaugh likes beer. Why that is deeply concerning. New hotness: Alito may not be sufficiently committed to beer. Why that is deeply concerning. https://t.co/ZH5VfbjfwU
A reach, I think. Maybe Alito sold Anheuser-Busch b/c he didn't want to lose money on a stock that was dropping. Or maybe he did sell it as part of the boycott. But he's free to buy & sell stuff in line with his beliefs. Quite different from flying a coup flag for all to see. https://t.co/QNg2QTTQpz
