Justice Alito senile?

[Anonymous]

He's so used to quid pro quo it doesn't seem like he even sees it.

Yes, the murderer analogy is more apt than I thought. "It" was going to happen anyway, so why not benefit from a little crime-ing along the way.

That is the problem with an aristocracy. they feel themselves above the law. But in our nation, everybody should obey the law, no matter their job, their wealth, their "importance". It is what makes us a nation that people want to live in, where people feel they have a chance.

Is there something in the water in the US, turning all our minds to mush? Even our supreme court justices cannot tell when they sound idiotic?

I don't think he's senile, I think he's just dishonest, and stupidly arrogant enough to think he can get away with it.

It’s not like Roberts is even going to timidly suggest that his boss should resign. Or that any Republicans will have any sense of decency whatsoever; they spend their days crowing about “owning the libs.”

So unlike Democrats, amirite?

When did Democrats steal two SCOTUS seats and subject the citizens of the US to a tyranny of the minority?

Three seats when you consider that Kennedy was compelled to retire early.

Which party is actually governing responsibly? Democrats.
Which party does nothing but contrive culture war wedge issues? Republicans.
Which party passed broadly popular bipartisan legislation, including an infrastructure bill, a bill that lowers prescription drug prices, and huge investments in high-tech domestic manufacturing? Democrats.
Which party proclaimed it was "infrastructure week" in perpetuity, and that a "big beautiful health care plan" was always just two weeks around the corner? Republicans.

Face it. Republicans are in complete disarray and have no guiding principles beyond "owning the libs." So, yes, very much unlike Democrats. It'd be nice if you joined the rest of us in the real world.

Hey OP. Seems all the republican SC judges are senile or crooked. So are all the republican federal judges. Time to simply make them all democrat to restore the courts to honor.

(You people are nuts)

Sorry. Justice A and T are fundamentally corrupt. Providing a free ticket to a charity dinner or reimbursing a Justice for travel to a state law school for a speech is one thing. Providing a free round of golf an exclusive golf course is another thing. Providing free travel, free accommodations, free food, and free guide services for multiple days for a hunting or fishing trip is very much another thing. Under which scenario do the funders get to spend the most private time with the Justices. Leo plans these trips with the precise intention of having the Justices become close friends with the funders. No, they probably do not talk about a specific case. But the idea that they do not discuss specific legal issues or perspectives is absurd. Hanging out with a Justice for multiple days, for 15-16 hours a day in a very private and remote setting is simply wrong. Leo's efforts are close to bribery and certainly are inappropriate. The Justices should uphold the highest of ethical standards, higher than politicians and higher than govt employees.

"Steal"? "Tyranny"? You need to come on down to planet Earth where you'll find that not getting your way doesn't mean you've been somehow wronged. How do you get through your days? If someone cuts in front of you in traffic, do you lie awake at night thinking of revenge? JFC. One of these days, perhaps liberal justices will hold the majority on the SC. That day is not today, so get used to it.

Not that poster. But certainly refusing to vote on Merrick Garland for a solid year is wrong.

No.

A liar? Yes.
Willfully ignorant? Yes.
Total biased a$$hole that ignores long settled precedent? Of course.

He's a piece of sh--, plain and simple. I disagree with Roberts. A lot, actually. And I don't feel this way about him. So, no. It's not b/c there is an R after his name.

An ad hominem attack is not a fact or true argument. Care to try again without that?

Not voting on Garland, absolutely theft and tyranny.
Pushing through Barrett WHILE AN ELECTION WAS OCCURRING and with no real confirmation, is absolutely theft and tyranny.

And if hte shoe were on the other foot, you would agree.
