I wonder what neighborhood this was (Alito's wife chasing and spitting on a neighbor's car)?

Bias and don’t you dam say he’s not biased .

If he was legit he’d recuse this is not hard

They are both free to fly their crap freak flags it’s not ok to be biased

Why don’t you think that his wife is fully capable of free will to have her own political opinions independent of her husband?

I'd like to hold Supreme Court Justices to a higher standard than "We can't prove that he agrees with his wife's support of the insurrection," but that's just me.

Awesome. Let’s run this vague standard both directions: “We cannot prove that the wife agrees her deadbeat husband’s support of [bad thing which is not fully confirmed] but lets disqualify her anyway”.

What if they publicly say that they disagree with their spouse? Would you believe them? You can see that this is very quickly down a slippery slope that I don’t think you want to go.

Which Supreme Court justice are you referring to, in which case? There are only two Supreme Court justices who are wives: Amy Coney Barrett and Ketanji Brown Jackson. Which cases before the Supreme Court do you think they should recuse themselves on, based on the actions of their husbands?

The insurrection is very fully confirmed, by the way.

I only saw the Post reporting that said she got out of the car to yell at a reporter and that her husband sort of carried her back in, or something to that effect.

It’s possible she was just really mad but I think it’s more likely this is a cognitive situation. Lots of people become very hostile in the early stages and even though I really don’t like Alito and oppose his rulings, I can appreciate how having protests in front of your house could make a bad situation like that much worse and harder.

Bill’s bad behavior took place behind closed doors. The Alitos proudly display their bad behavior in front of their houses for all to see. Bill didn’t support insurrections and the Alitos do. It’s a little different.

Hillary Clinton publicly smeared women who later proved to have had sexual interactions with Bill Clinton.

I don’t want to derail any of this, but I notice a huge double standard and it seems that the liberal position now is that husbands and wives represent one person. Not two independent people. I am not an expert but this seems like a step backwards for women’s rights.

Here's a very serious distinction between Clinton and Alito/Thomas - there exists a mechanism to check or remove the President. If his behavior is deemed unacceptable he can be impeached and even removed from office. The Supreme Court exists entirely on a gentlemen's code and when it is flaunted people are much more upset because we are legitimately just stuck with justices who are not even pretending to be impartial anymore. They're supposed to recuse *themselves*. They're supposed to police their own behavior, and they are looking right in our faces and saying "what are you going to do about it?"

Bill Clinton's behavior was disgusting. Hillary smearing Monica was disgusting. And Bill was impeached over it! Thomas and Alito are behaving in a manner antithetical to their oaths of office and . . . we get nothing but whataboutism. No consequences whatsoever.

Where did you read there were people protesting in front of their house?

The rolling stone article said she was unhinged over a neighbor's *lawn sign*.

Yeah but I think another story mentioned protests in front if the house? They definitely did at other justice houses, idk. Maybe they didn’t have any at the Alito house but I thought I read that somewhere.

The same mechanism exists to remove a President as to remove a Justice, impeachment.

l mean obviously she might be completely fine and just decided to yell at her neighbors and a reporter because she was mad.

But having been through the cognitive decline rodeo, a hundred people marching to the house would have really been not helpful in those early competent but hostile/paranoid days.

I still think he should recuse fwiw but I also get why he won’t and I wish people would just stay away from justice’s houses and families. I don’t think it helps anything at all.

Nice try with the false equivalency but this is getting you nowhere.

Yeah, this is a good starting point for everything. I hope this lady is getting the help that she needs and also agree that going to peoples homes and attacking spouses of officials who are living private lives is poor form. When folks like Ginny Thomas, Clinton or whoever else engage in public life that is a different matter. I am wondering if this situation could not have been deescalated with a little empathy from the neighbors involved.

Hillary paid a price for that bullying. She was trounced at the ballot box. I don't think many of us believe Bill and Hillary are immaculate people.

But you are barking up the wrong tree, because there is no comparison here. None at all. The Alitos appear to be complicit in election denialism and insurrection. The Justices are Constitutionally mandated to avoid even the appearance of bias. They have just been shown to display extreme bias, both Alitos as well as Ginny Thomas. Alito did not remove his wife's flags. Ginny's texts proved she was heavily involved in efforts to subvert the election. If they were separated or divorced, both wives' views would be protected by the First Amendment. As the wives of Supreme Court Justices, the appearance of bias supercede their right to express political views.

Thus - both Alito and Thomas should recuse themselves from matters pertaining to Jan 6.

Supersede. Spell it correctly, please.

And don't blame autocorrect or a typo for that one.

Honestly, impeacing Alito and Thomas should be on the agenda for Democratic candidates for the Senate. There's plenty of cause.

haha I haven't read all the responses but Alito lives down the street from me in Alexandria. I told my husband I wanted to go protest in front of his house as well (during the overthrow of Roe vs. Wade).

Why? I don’t approve of doing this sort of on a personal level but I also don’t understand why it’s a good strategy for anything.
