Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito sold shares of beer giant Anheuser-Busch InBev as conservatives were ditching the Bud Light brewer…

I don’t like this guy’s decisions but this is just a guy seeing what the trends are and selling stock.

There’s no insider information, why the fuck is this news?

  Yes I did and I don’t think selling stocks that are being affected by a boycott is illegal or proof of partisan motivation.
- From the article:
  
  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.”
- Yeah I was thinking the same, this isn't insider trading. In fact I don't think it's even vaguely sketchy.

This guy just oozes contempt for his fellow man, imagine the damage he'd do if he was a supreme court judge..

- I read the article. And I dont like Alito, or the politicization of the SCOTUS. I still think this is rage bait and not terribly newsworthy.

What a douchehorn!
Ironically Boof was buying up a ton of Bud Light. Boy that guy loves him some beer, huh?
- Never forget a sitting Supreme Court Justice committed perjury to avoid admitting he likes to squirt beer up his ass.
  
  Well, and the rape.

Honestly, I’m kind of surprised this guy is buying and selling stupid beer stocks and isn’t just letting a brokers and funds deal with that crap.
Where was the beer guy? Was he on it too?
I like mountain spring water too
In the meantime Pelosi has made $20m in stock trades last year.

Edit sp
- Whataboutism
  
  It also doesn't make sense in the context because the question is not whether this was insider trading, but whether it shows a political bias by involving himself in the boycott.
  
  I love when liberals scream 'whataboutism' then invoke Trump in every conversation critical of Biden
