DeSantis rails against 'scurrilous' attacks on Thomas, Alito -
Mr. DeSantis, a 2024 presidential contender, said he will nominate justices to the high court that are cut from the same cloth as Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito.
Mr. DeSantis said if Democrats outperform Republicans in the 2024 election they will seek to pack the Supreme Court with liberal-leaning justices. Mr. Thomas and Mr. Alito have faced questions over their failure to report gifts and recuse themselves from cases. Justice Thomas did not disclose the payments in his financial disclosure forms, and the news outlet suggested that runs afoul of ethical standards required of a federal judge.
