Finally, that Justice Alito doesn’t consider the he phone call to meet the standard of “even the appearance of impropriety” such that he would have needed to recuse himself from the decision only hours after the phone call.

Does that cover it?

Second, the fact that Mr. Trump had upcoming business (only 2 hours later) before the Supreme Court is completely irrelevant because they did not discuss anything related to that

Third, that the call originated from Mr. Trump rather than Justice Alito just hours before the filing is irrelevant
