This is how non-sensical this country has become,. We can no longer trust our justice system. such a situation is the signal to take things over and prevent "the rise of another Hitler in now here in the US in the name of democracy".

Scalia And Thomas Party With Obamacare Challengers On Day Court Takes Up Case

The Los Angeles Times is reporting that just hours after the United States Supreme Court huddled to decide whether it would take up the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act, Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas were honored at a dinner sponsored by the very law firm that will argue for the challengers in the case.

Among the sponsors of the fundraiser for the Federalist Society, a conservative group long favored by Scalia and Thomas, were Bancroft PLLC, the law firm that will argue that the insurance mandate provisions of the ACA is an overreach of Congress’ powers under the Commerce Clause of the Constitution and, therefore, unconstitutional. Also listed as an event sponsor was law firm Jones Day, the lead counsel in a separate case challenging the law brought by the National Federation of Independent Business.

Illegal? A violation of ethical rules?

Not at all. The members of the Court are pretty much on their own when it comes to who they choose to hang out with and what political dinners they wish to attend.
