Dope1: The leading trip-takers have all been left wing justices, Breyer and Ginsburg IIRC.

First, you're wrong.

Justice Scalia was an enthusiastic traveler, taking more than 250 privately funded trips from 2004 to 2014. A few weeks before he died, he visited Singapore and Hong Kong. A court spokeswoman said there would be no disclosure form detailing Justice Scalia's travels in 2015.

Which leads me to a game we'll call 'spot the difference'.

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg disclosed taking 14 trips in 2018.

Justice Stephen Breyer disclosed a dozen trips.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor got an advance from a book publisher and reported the income.

Justice Clarence Thomas failed to disclose the lavish trips he and his wife took that were paid for by Harlan Crow.

Justice Clarence Thomas failed to disclose that Harlan Crow had purchased his mother's home and additional property on her block, renovated the home, and allowed his mother to remain in the home rent free.

Justice Clarence Thomas failed to disclose that Harlan Crow paid the $6,000 a month tuition for a private school for a child Thomas and his wife took legal custody of and said he had raised as his own son.

Did you spot the difference?
