A financial analysis shows Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito gained between $1 million and $2.9 million from oil and gas holdings since his appointment. The holdings raise conflict-of-interest concerns given his votes on energy regulation cases.
Financial disclosures show Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito gained between $1 million and $2.9 million from oil and gas holdings since his 2006 appointment. The holdings are substantial enough to create genuine conflict-of-interest questions in cases where energy regulation is at stake.
Alito has voted on multiple cases involving energy companies and environmental regulation. A justice who personally benefits from oil and gas appreciation has an obvious financial interest in outcomes that favor those industries. The Supreme Court has no ethics rules requiring recusal in cases involving justices' financial interests, unlike lower courts and executive agencies. Alito kept the holdings during the same period he was voting on energy cases.
