#KingAlito’s Arrogance Has Reached Frightening New Levels

As the #SupremeCourt careens toward the explosive end of its term, #JusticeSamuelAlito keeps digging himself deeper into an #ethics scandal that is equal parts comical and execrable

By Dahlia Lithwick and Mark Joseph Stern

"I would just add that this is entirely predictable from somebody who has proven, day after day after day, that he doesn’t believe reality. Justice Alito is at a place where he thinks the entire Justice Department is going after #Trump and #January6 insurrectionists because they’re witch-hunters. He believes the media is a bunch of liars and the world is out to get him. He believes the #insurrectionist flag is benign, a foam finger that screams 'Go George Washington.'"

>> Two big ones — virtue signaling with #Garland, and picking a fight with #Texas on #immigration

… BOTH of those were #unforcedErrors on #Biden's part, as was the gambit to put #felon #insurrectionist leader #Trump on an equal footing.

Garland fiasco remains the deepest scar, for it robbed us of the opportunity to deal with insurrection and treachery on time.

Virtue-signaling on immigration in an election year?

Had to vent, but ofc I'm STILL voting for the #Democratic nominee

Was a time when #terrorist leaders like #Arafat were not allowed to set foot in #US.

Then #Trump tried to #normalize #Taliban by inviting them to #CampDavid.

Then #Biden normalized #insurrectionist leader Trump by inviting him to #debate.

We got here by bristling to EVERY criticism of Biden, no matter how small, rather than correcting them.

Two big ones that I've repeatedly written about — virtue signaling with #Garland, and picking a fight with #Texas on #immigration

"All of this comes amid the worst #scandals in the court’s #history, which raise serious doubt about the justices’ independence & #integrity (e.g. Samuel #Alito 's #insurrectionist flag flying, #ClarenceThomas' refusal to #recuse himself despite his wife’s participation in the #coup attempt, Thomas’s multiple #financial disclosure violations & receipts of millions of dollars in #gifts). These, coupled with obvious gamesmanship to benefit “their side,” will permanently besmirch this court."
