The Florida GOP governor and 2024 contender also vowed to defend the conservative justices amid their ethics scandals.
Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse said the Supreme Court justice's excuses were "so preposterous that they're almost incriminating themselves."
The questions surrounding Alito and his undisclosed luxury fishing trip with a GOP donor are fueling calls for ethics reform on the Supreme Court.
In the years after the undisclosed trip to Alaska, Republican megadonor Paul Singer’s hedge fund has repeatedly had business before the Supreme Court. Alito has never recused himself.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
The Supreme Court justice issued an irate response to ethics claims before they were published.
Chief Justice John Roberts has acknowledged the court needs to do more to show it takes ethics seriously.
Alito also complained in an interview with The Wall Street Journal that "practically nobody" is defending the Supreme Court from criticism.
The Supreme Court justice's bizarre hypothetical about a Black mall Santa got a blistering response on "Weekend Update."
Rev. Rob Schenck repeated under oath his allegation that Justice Alito leaked the outcome of his 2014 Hobby Lobby decision to a “stealth missionary.”
Alito also teased fellow justice Elena Kagan by claiming she was probably familiar with the Ashley Madison dating website.
