“We’re The Supreme Court, Bitches!”

It’s clear that Alito has a lot of ego wrapped up in his authorship of the Dobbs opinion. Which seems to underscore that it wasn’t an objective, dispassionate application of the law. https://t.co/FOQLHohCrD

The scorpions have spilled out of the bottle.

Religious liberty is under attack in many places because it is dangerous to those who want to hold complete power," Alito said. "It also probably grows out of something dark and deep in the human DNA -- a tendency to distrust and dislike people who are not like ourselves," he added.

One wonders if Alito recognizes those words include him. In Christian doctrine we call that recognition “humility.” In Christianity, it is a key basis for religious liberty.

'That doesn’t seem like law': Supreme Court justices going public with grievances after contentious sessionhttps://t.co/rhJEuRx6bS

If over time, the court loses all connection with the public and with public sentiment, that is a dangerous thing for a democracy," liberal Justice Elena Kagan told an audience in Montana last week, when asked generally about what a court can do to increase public confidence. 

"I think people are rightly suspicious if one justice leaves the court or dies and another justice takes his or her place and all of a sudden the law changes," Kagan added. "It's like: what's going on here? That doesn't seem like law."

No, it doesn’t seem like the law at all. Besides, how many Justices does Congress have?

Samuel Alito is an embarrassment to the Supreme Court because he doesn’t understand there are different religions in America. What makes American great is that we let you practice your faith, change your faith or have no faith at all.

Some religions support abortion, some don’t. https://t.co/Y2gkLpvF6O

Remember: it was Alito’s opinion that leaked.

That fact paired with his politicized remarks below should be alarming to anyone.

The Supreme Court is in a legitimacy crisis. Chief Justice Roberts has a responsibility to share the progress & results of SCOTUS’ leak investigation. https://t.co/5AlOb1ihJw

P.S. There is no leak investigation. If there was, what could be done? Sacrifice a clerk? Fire a staff member? Even if the Senate gains three Democrats, would this be an impeachable offense for which Manchin and Sinema would remove a Justice? Signs point to “No.”

Violating the idea of the postscript, but this deserves the last word:

Alito is so extremist far right that his idea of owning the libs is taking shots at Boris Johnson. https://t.co/QArP8hCPtm
