Watch the speech. It was funny, self deprecating and intelligent regardless of one’s political views.
Understanding your adversary’s viewpoint and arguments is invaluable.
Such a lack of intellectual curiosity on DCUM.

You’re judging “lack of intellectual curiosity” while defending the guy who wants to control women with a storybook about a magical sky man and his zombie “son?”

Intellectual curiosity for this

"“It is hard to convince people that religious liberty is worth defending if they don’t think that religion is a good thing that deserves protection,” Alito told the audience. “The challenge for those who want to protect religious liberty in the United States, Europe, and other similar places is to convince people who are not religious that religious liberty is worth special protection. That will not be easy to do.”

SPECIAL PROTECTION. No, thats been done before. Christians, Muslims, etc. They can do their thing but no, I am not interested in giving religions special protection. That means that those with religion are protected more than those without. Religion needs less power not more and history has shown us time and time again that power combined with religion is a dangerous thing for most people.

Reading is fundamental.
He didn't say giving "religion" special protection.
He said give "religious liberty" special protection. And, that is exactly what this country was founded on. Remember the pilgrims?
People should be free to worship as they wish.

I'd also watch for analysis of the "during good behavior" portion of Article III to start bubbling up from law reviews into the mainstream press.

Part of the unspoken "deal" of leaving the federal judiciary structure and functioning largely alone is that federal judges were supposed to adhere to a certain amount of decorum and norms such as the outward appearance of impartiality. If they aren't going to do that then we should find a way to structure things to enforce that.

You didn't seem to mind when RBG showed her partisan stripes.

Now that Alito has shown that he’s just a partisan hack and neither funny nor particularly intelligent, here comes the whatabout.

This is true of liberals in general today. Or, I should say, "leftists." Because these people are not at all liberal in the traditional sense of the word.
They protest, shout down, and cancel conservative speakers in law schools, med schools, and universities in general. The mere presence of an opposing view on issues is now viewed as harmful under the new rules that have taken hold of higher education.

+1000. I never comment on an article without tracking down the source material. There is always more behind the sensationalized headlines.

In what way does Dobbs advance religious liberty?

The “joke” was gross because he’s making fun of foreign leaders for being worried about reproductive rights and the health of American women of childbearing age. That’s only a “joke” if you’re a psychopath.

Yes, this is Republicans.

You are guilty of taking soundbites out of context.

His whole speech was about religious freedom. That was the topic. It was not in reference to Roe or any other decision.

And, so you know.... he was mocking leaders of OTHER nations for getting their knickers in a bunch about decisions made in the US.

You know why leaders of other nations are getting their knickers in a bunch about decisions made in the US? Because it will likely affect women in other countries too. American women are already travelling to Mexico for abortions. Canada might be next. Doctors in Europe are sending abortion pills to women in states such as Texas. Maybe their lives and those of their families might be at risk. American pro-lifers are pumping money into the UK to try and influence lawmakers and restrict British women's right to choose. And look at political decisions not to fund reproductive care in other countries where abortion is mentioned.

This is why it is important to other countries.

It was telling how that poster wrote “OTHER” nations, as if it’s absurd these lesser countries would weigh in.

Alito seems like pithy frightened little man. You see the same sort of belligerence out of the William Barr. Another zealot who was happy to further Catholicism by any means necessary. This country is full of them. It’s fking gross.

This and they are too interested in their own egos to realize they are turning people away from religion.
