Notes:
22
The gifts in light yellow are found in the justices' financial disclosure reports;gifts in gray are new gifts we identified since our last gifts release (June 6, 2024)
23
Across all the years and all the tabs, we count "meals" and "lodging" as two gifts, and we count each leg of a roundtrip flight as one gift, so it's two gifts per roundtrip, and unless otherwise stated, we assign the cost per hour of a flight on a private plane to be $10,000 (can range from $5,000 to $25,000, depending on plane size and other circumstances)
24
Why is 1/1/04 the cutoff above? Two reasons. First, no repository exists for the justices' pre-2004 disclosures. Under federal law, the Court may destroy FDRs after six years, and that apparently happened. We obtained a few 2000-2003 disclosures from former SCOTUS reporters, and we've posted them online or sent them to Free Law Project for them to post, but most remain missing. Second, this article, concerning gifts received in 2003 and prior, came out in 2004 and is seen as the turning point in reporting on justices' gifts.
