For Halloween, go as the Purcell Principle. You dress up in your normal clothes, and say that you can't change into a costume because it's too close to the election.
Justice Alito regularly has to recuse from cases because of his stock holdings. There’s really no excuse for this. He should sell those shares so he can do his job 100% of the time.

There's no excuse for a justice of the Supreme Court to own stock that forces him to recuse from a case. And this isn't Alito's first time, either.
Of #SCOTUS' 79 recusals this term, 24 (counting this one), or 30%, were due to J. Alito's stock portfolio.
Note that Alito's shares docs.google.com/spreadsheets… came mostly via his wife, who inherited stock in 41 of cos. after her father died in 2012. Alito has retained shares in 28.

Major u-turn from Justice Alito as Supreme Court reveals he will no longer participate in the big climate change case being argued next week. Previously, the court told NBC News there was no reason for him to step aside despite his earlier recusal in same case.
Anytime something like this (about lawmaker's travel spending) pops up, it's like, wow, that's a decent amount of money...& it's also far more transparency than what we get from #SCOTUS or the rest of the federal judiciary on the subject.

A federal judge in D.C. reportedly got 64 unsolicited pizza deliveries to their home. What could seem like a prank is an unsettling threat to judges, and the D.C. Council is considering a bill to keep more of their personal information private: washingtonsun.com/metro/dc-j…

Court filings show three associate justices pushed to keep disciplinary proceedings under wraps in a politically charged matter that raises questions about their own candor & conduct regarding a scandal that ultimately led the chief justice to resign.
