#SCOTUS #Alito #JusticeAlito
What I would like to see is all the independent women in America who are not Mrs Alito advocate for the removal of Mr Alito from the Supreme Court bench for his misogyny and anti-Feminist activism.
He 🎉and Thomas are a disgrace to the courts WE NEED TIME LIMITS! HIS ARROGANCE IS SICKENING!!!
More than time limits are needed, there needs to be a way to police how the supreme court judges conduct themselves and penalties for their behaviour, whether it be from actions or spoken. They think they are above the law.
Laws must be passed to enforce a stringent code of ethics and term limits are absolutely necessary!
@francisbird6290 yes!
I have lost faith in an independent and unbiased SCOTUS.
Me too. We constantly hear of them being liberal or conservative when they're supposed to be objective and leave the politics at the door.
He is basically telling everyone how dare you question me over something so obviously partisan. Who do you think I am? And Roberts just sits there and takes it.
That's the real problem here, he knows it flies in the face of judicial ethics but doesn't care. He has shown contempt to the point where even though he knows it is wrong, it is not for others to question his actions.
The senate must subpoena both Clarence Thomas and Alito for questioning at minimum. At least make them squirm for a couple of hours. We need accountability!
They should subpoena theirs wives since are the ones getting the blame.
Blame it on the wife. That is LAME! Recuse yourself, Alito.
Thomas and Alito needs to GO . The Senate has to do something, this is just more injustice to America 🇺🇸 🙄 😑 😒 😢
Cry harder 🤣
interesting how you libs only ever complain about conservative judges......
They should make a new court and he should be the super supreme judge.
@@kelperdude Super Supreme Judge either you are a Moscow troll or really do not understand the Constitution Is this ignorance or are you just stupid my vote is for the second
So probably good Biden didn't want to add more justices? 🤦
6:22 "I think it's remarkable that Justice Alito has discovered the one woman in America who deserves a right to privacy, and that appears to be his wife." *chef's kiss* ❤👏
:) Didn't even register that on my first view. Thx for the timestamp!
🎯Bravo!
I'm sick of scotus justices blatantly lying both in confirmation hearings and on the bench. Fire them now.
👏
The supreme court is infected by viruses
COVID 45/ pandemic 45
Seriously!
IMPEACH ALITO, THOMAS AND KAVANAUGH
Yes, exactly why 18USC1001 general statements needs to be changed to include judges and why we need to get rid of judicial immunity
Being a Supreme court justice is a privilege not a right. Allowing justices to write and enforce their own code of conduct is farcical. They have abused the power and leeway they have been given and must be held to account.
Exactly. American exceptionalism at its finest, I suppose? ;-(
Yea but that won't happen. So lets stop hearing the BS that NO one is above the law.
This is what I keep saying... As soon as scotus made a fed law a self governing process only for themselves, they placed themselves above the law and one of our main legal principles 'No one shall be their own judge and jury'
@@selftaopath I guess that everybody has always tried their best to condition themselves into believing this lie so as not to give in to total nihilism… But I think you’re getting closer and closer to it.
Unbridled capitalism and money are responsible for it. Citizens United anyone?
Exactly.
I have zero confidence in the current Supreme Court. Alito & Thomas should both be removed.
Send them both to Mexico to run the narcos!
I have 100% confidence that 2 of them are conservative political terrorists.
Five, not two. The two rapists (one a thief), the two incompetents, and the insurectionist.
I TOTALLY AGREE they both should be REMOVED and their Security should be REVOKED
Correction Extreme Court there’s nothing supreme about it.
How about the Justice Alito, whose wife has a deal leasing 160 acres of land to an energy company, for a percentage of the profits, ruling against the EPA a number of times? Even reversing a law signed by President Obama to protect the environment?
This should be told over and over again. Good for you to point this out!😊
I never heard that before. Depending on the specific facts, that could be a clear conflict of interest or, at minimum, constitute the appearance of impropriety. Thank you for providing this information. The more we know, the uglier it gets.
Alito is corrupt to the core like all other Federalist Society appointed SC judges.
@@johntucker5994 His wife, Martha Alito signed a deal June 2022, with Citizen Energy III where she'd receive 3/16th of fossil fuels sales (from 160 acres of land in Grady County, OK) leased by the company.
Later that week, Justice Alito ruled against W Virginia v. EPA, a case that limited agency authority.
Not a direct link but making rulings that directly affect the family's financial portfolio is worth a look.
@@pastorXal Thanks for the info. I agree.
A SC justice who’s UNABLE to handle a dispute with neighbours IS UNFIT TO BE A JUDGE/JUSTICE.
On the spot! Talk about anger fueled neurosis with the immaturity of a 1st grader.
He is an absolute weasel. Telling everybody what to do to a ridiculous degree, but he and his wife get to do things one would frown upon for any ordinary person (not saying he is extraordinary, he just thinks he is).
Exactly!!
It doesn't matter what the neighbor did or did not do; it's about the highest judges (Alito, Thomas, and etc.) of land's behaviors, attitude, actions, communication, what they represent, and what they stand for either democracy or MAGA terrorists‼️
Well put!
I have absolutely not a scintilla of faith or trust in Alito or Thomas. They should both resign. They seem utterly appalling and to be everything, everything a Supreme Court justice should not be. Roberts is not doing his job, either.
Not impressed w Roberts, either.
Nothing is going to change.
Exactly! You articulate the exact and fundamental truth about them. I have lost every bit of confidence I had in that court for about half a century.
why?
Next time you get called for jury duty, just say you have zero faith in the court system..bring up these examples and you'll get excused.
Impeach Alito and Thomas.
Now.
I vote no confidence in the current supreme court!.
Our Supreme Court has been bought out by the rich, and powerful. The American people no longer have a voice, they make their own rules, and are accountable to no one but themselves.
For flying a flag??
@@kaydoeteccc7741 You forget the lavish and unreported gifts from billionaires, having right wing radical organizations like the Federalist Society and the Heritage foundation write their opinions, the disrespect for precedent and the use of medieval European law to justify destroying the rights of women to control their own reproductive health. I could go on and on.
@@kaydoeteccc7741 if you can not be bothered to be informed why bother commenting?
@@CMcKay-ip2nc if you wanna get a supreme court judge fired you have to have a solid case,not some "wife hoisted a politically incorrect flag" case.
This is absolutely to do with him….what a disgrace his wife is ,spitting at the neighbours ,her behaviour is worthy of the gutter and going along with her is disgusting, congress needs to pass better rules to keep in line , they can’t be trusted as they think they are above the law, let’s be honest at the moment…..they are.
The Supreme Court has lost all credibility
TOTALLY - SCROTUS is as much of a total disgrace to America as that lying charlatan drumpf is.
Wow. Shameful behavior by Alito and his wife given his job. They are equally guilty of making him look unprofessional, out of control, and starkly partisan.
Because he is...
They did that on purpose, to let you know how little you mean to them!
The Late Ted Kennedy Warned the American People about the ethics and morality of this idealogue.
The last of the REAL Kennedys
I'm confused.
A judge's daughter who doesn't live with him and doesn't have any legal entanglement with him, can cause the judge to be conflicted.
But a different judge's wife, who he is actually legally entangled with, who he shares a house and probably a bed with, does not cause *that* judge to be conflicted.
Where is the consistency?
Their isn't he is a corrupt lieing judge . He knows it and America knows it
***False Equivalence*** (Look it up)
1st... Merchan wasn't the one that found Trump guilty. It was a jury that Trump Agreed On!!!
You understand that, correct?
Secondly, at the supreme court level, the justices function Like Jurrors deciding cases in lower courts.
So, yeah... drastic difference between the two cases you presented.
Good Luck developing your critical thinking skills.
*hint... Steer clear of the echo chamber that Doesn't Want you to learn how to reason.
The consistency is republicans realized they can say anything, no matter how nonsensical or false, and it doesn’t matter. All the supporters made up their mind long ago and just need to be presented with something to point at to justify it. So they give them that. The supporters don’t care what it is or how ridiculous it is, as long as it is something they can repeat to justify their belief. Because if they admitted the real reasons why they support them….. well, they would have to admit to being dumb pawns or admit to being an awful person.
@@t.tomantasaur9399 Are you serious right now? Or are you purposely being disingenuous with your reasoning? The argument isn't how the justices jobs differ, it was that how can two different judges be held to different standards of recusal. At the end of the day they are both judges and need to be held to the same standard of conduct and ethics, rank does not matter in this situation.
What's the daughter conflict thing you're referring to?
Too bad personal integrity isn't a requirement for being on the Supreme Court.
But it is, that's why the senate has to confirm them, and can remove them.
It is, or was until the far right wing nuts got their golden puppet into the position they worked so hard for, for the past 50 years.
@@user-wi9hv2pb2q of course is it. I was being sarcastic.
So Alito and Thomas buffaloed the Senate years ago? Sure looks that way.
*What a sad excuse for a Supreme Court Justice. You know you’re wrong Alito*
Well look who appointed him.
It doesn't matter what the neighbor did or did not do; it's about the highest judges (Alito, Thomas, and etc.) of the land's behaviors, attitude, actions, communication, what they represent, and what they stand for either democracy or MAGA terrorists‼️
That's why he was appointed under a Republican administration. His corruption has just gotten worse.
Exactly! It is now his pride that is hurting him, I bet he can't sleep well any time.
What's so bad about a flag?
I'm sure Alito knows, that receiving Kudos from Trump, is a large sign/indicator that *YOU* are on the wrong side of the ethics line.
Trumps letter to the judge indicates they have questionable intentions. Trump and the judge apparently have a strong connection. That seems like a conflict for being able to trust the judge . Impeach the judge !
Unpatriotic and unethical.
Not unpatriotic to fly those flags,and this is disgusting propaganda and gossip.
These “justices” have no morals and is disturbing how uncouth and indignant they are. Clarence’s self hating self too.
Thomas and Alito wifes should be investigated and this guys removed from the Supreme Court.
Alito and wife even looked like smug , self satisfied creeps when they were just beginning down their road to the destruction of the American judicial system .
Kudos to the neighbor . She's CORRECT .
I hope his neighbors are interviewed.
And she’s the one who called the police!
Where’s that report?
Imagine having to ring the popo on a SC Justice and his unhinged handmaiden?!
@selftaopath NYT
Exactly! His wife was sitting there smirking.
:) Her "crazy eyes" in that clip are clearly not those of a satisfied woman...
The Court must be expanded to dilute the power of these unethical justices.
This is why we need a Democratic house & senate
*No Lifetime Appointments Ever*
Absolutely! No government position should ever come with a lifetime appointment.
We'd better have a decent impartiality solution ready to hand then -- lifetime appointments do tend to shield courts from the baying crowds and their populist, often minority-victimizing whims. A fixed retirement age, regardless of age at appointment, is one replacement to 'lifetime'. The worst outcome would be to have judges with renewable terms, where they could serve for more than one term, and thus would be incentivized to be 'popular' or 'politically attractive' in their decision making. One virtue of 'for life' is that it precludes the possibility of further periods of service, at least as a judge here on Earth.
Amen to that!!!
He should not recuse himself - he should be disqualified and fired.
To impeach him you all in America need to win the House & Senate.
Locked for life
No he should be tried!
By who? That is America’s highest corruption problem and that’s just where it starts.
For flying a flag? Flying an upside down flag is a symbol of distress. I 1st learned of this as.a.teenager working on a fishing boat. Another fishermen was flying an upside down flag, and several other boats were heading to help. However, MSNBC SPINS IT to be a major episode. It is not.
Alito and Thomas should both be impeached for their lack of ethics.
👏🏻💯💯💯💯👏🏻
Odd that you're only concerned with conservative justices lol. Yeah, impeach them because you disagree with them
@@tokesalotta1521Because they’re ethically compromised. Go back to sleep, Lotta Tokes. 😂
@@tokesalotta1521 If the tables were turned, and the Dems were responsible for Jan 6, and a Dem Judge's wife helped with Jan 6, and another Justice had flags supporting the insurrection it would be the same for them as well. Especially when you have seen favoritism, and anti-ethical behavior. Yes, impeach them. It's more than just to just disagree with what someone says. Republicans want to impeach people for less. I'm an Independent. Wrong is Wrong.
You’re trying to impeach them for something their wives did. These justices don’t have the right to violate their wives 1st amendment rights, just to please the left.
I love that Mark Joseph Stern said that “Alito has discovered the one woman in America who deserves the right to privacy, and that appears to be his wife”. Mic drop! May be the best line EVER!
Wait! What? He has no "Control" over his wife yet wants to remove Healtchcare rights from every woman in America?
Thats a supreme court justice aright…. This is why elections matter now more than ever, this guys are prone to go to the afterlife due to age, so new justices are overdue in this upcoming 4 years
She is trying to get him murdered so she gets all the stuff and rights back. Clever lady!
How misogynistic, since when are husbands supposed to control their wives?
My wife would call you a pig.
My wife would call you a pig.
@@youllisshe's just as venomous as he is.
Alito's letting his true MAGA colors fly and Roberts is essentially burying his head in the sand. This is the highest court in the land...
This is Dangerous and disgusting.
Alito must go !!
Don't forget Thomas also hide under his wife's skirt‼️
Roberts is hiding because he is one of them.
"was..."
Cry babies trump 2024 free the hostages in prison mr trump
Justice Alito should be embarrassed by this disgraceful decision to fly the Stars and Stripes upside down at his home! Totally disgusting!
If he doesn't recuse, the court's rulings are illegitimate and not binding.
And that is what Trump wants, so he can ignore it when he wants to.
Thank you 👍
That is not how it works.
@@chrisscott8362ok I'll bite. How does it work?
Agreed!
Unfit.
You need to respect your position and what it stands for as a Supreme Court. That means political neutrality.
ABSOLUTELY, SHAME ON HIM. UNFIT, UNWORTHY TO BE IN ROBES.
Or his wife nite coat...
Reeee 😂😂FJB Bigly 😀
Impeach Alito and Thomas. Do we need to have confirmation hearing on their wives also?
No and No
THIS CANNOT PASS WITHOUT CONSEQUENCES!
Alito should "be recused" from everything it seems
America does no need judges who cannot be impartial
Odd, Gorsuch has white hair. In the same age range, Sam Alito has that weird, red hair. Is that a Rump thing?
@@ardentynekent2099 probably came off Trumps ties
he is supposed to work for the country not the republicans only.
Alito says that his wife is equal partner in owning the houses, so she has the legal right to fly the flags. Yes, Alito, so true, and you have the same right to immediately take the flags down.
Him and Clarence should never been supreme court judges. Very unprofessional and not a good fit.
Follow the money! SCOTUS stinks
He is a dishonorable injustice. He cannot speak and reason with his wife and throws her under the bus, but he rules all the American women over their bodies.
How many women voted RED?
You hit the nail on the spot.
@@selftaopath Technically, there's no way of knowing. Since women are usually a few years ahead of men on the learning curve of "how to human", might well be that ALL of them voted Dem in '16 - and us men just needed another 4 years so at least some of us could catch up. The occasional exception would confirm the rule, obv.
These two "dishonorable injustice" are hiding under their wives' skirts‼️
@@rosex3271 They know who they are. I'd hide, too. "Shame!"..."Shame!"..."Shame!"...
Time to rebuild the SCOTUS.
As Robert's Harvard Prof, Lawrence Tribe, said publicly to Robert's about the flag fiasco: "get off your butt!"
Roberts doesn't do anything because he's like they are .
A man who can't control his household, will not be able to control a seat of power!!
He's just throwing nasty Martha under the bus because he's totally good with the overthrow of the country .
The silent coup has already occurred in the Supreme Court .
We have already lost the democracy ( if we ever really had it ).
Isn't there a Bible verse that sounds like that? To the effect of, if you can't handle the things of Man, how can you handle the things of God? Qualifications for being a Bishop, I believe. 🥴
I wonder if Ms Alito also decided what Justice Alito has to vote YES or NOT in the cases presented to the Supreme Court
Alito has to go obviously. The Supreme court has absolutely no validity as long as he is sitting on it. He has to resign. Recusal in just one case is not enough.
Thomas too.
Can you please explain what the actual controversy is here?
@@Pospolite-Ruszenie Can you not ask such a ridiculous troll question?
@@cattymajiv I’m being fully serious. His wife had a dispute with their neighbors so she flipped the US flag as a show of that. And then at his beach house he had a US navy flag. So what’s the issue?
So, Alito can rob millions of women of their right to choose health care, but he can't take a flag from his wife?
A real profile in courage. 💩
Alito doesn't want to sleep on the couch. I kind of understand him😅😅😅😅
@@felixmbandandayitabi4536 Does he even have relations with his wife, its against his religious believes
@@papabob53johnson46 i would not speculate that far, but you have a point.
That's why MAGA RepubliCONS are hiding under their wives' skirts‼️
OMG!! That is so juicy! Tell them to put the signs back up and see what happens! Have their phones set to RECORD!!
The public should organize and all file complaints against this judge and he has to answer in the Civil Court
Why is there ZERO accountability for these judges??
Why America will fall, because the Supreme Court is corrupt to the core
Flaw in the Constitution.
A flaw in the US Constitution
@@cassandratq9301 It is a flaw in our two party political system; not in the Constitution. The Constitution allows for a Justice to be impeached but good luck getting Congress do do the right thing instead of what their party wants. It would go about as well as trying to impeach a President. Almost every Senator admitted in 2021 that Trump was guilty and should have been convicted on his Jan 6 impeachment but the party didn't want the black eye so they made lame excuses like "he is already out of office so it does nothing to impeach him" / "congress can't impeach a normal citizen" and other crap like that as to why they didn't vote to convict. Even my own states Senator who is a very staunch conservative and not wrapped up in the MAGA craziness voted against the impeachment conviction and handed out a lame excuse as noted. The levers are in place. It isn't a fault with the Constitution; it is a fault in the people that we put in place to uphold the Constitution. They have all forgotten what it means to do right by the country and instead just do right by their party. And yes the Democrats play all these same stupid games when the Republicans are in power. Look no further than the House when they impeached McCarthy. The Democrats had the power to squash that nonsense and get back to the business of running the country and instead they allowed a small MAGA minority to completely turn over the system because it made the Republicans look bad. The chaos that followed benefited their party, not the country.
"Why is there ZERO accountability for these judges" - There *IS* accountability (impeachment) but it requires a simple majority in the House and a two-thirds vote of those present in the Senate. The reason we cannot achieve that now is because about half of the country has decided that it wants to change the U.S. to fascism rather than a democratic republic.
Absolutely no ethics....him nor his wife.
Trump's comment proves that it was a biased action. Alito should recuse himself.
No thanks.

JUDGE CANNON IS WORST GOP JUDGE !!
As long as he keeps you liberals crying and he saves America I don't care what he does😂😂
Senate is derelict in not hauling Ali to, Thomas and their wives to oversight committee to shed light on all this under oath
Uh, 1st ammendment. There's the light shed on the subject. Look into it.
Was it the NY Post, Washington Post, or NY Times who sat on the Alito flag story for nearly 3 years? That story could have had a greater impact following Jan.6th, if it had been published, back then. Was this catch, detain, and then release? How often, does that happen? If the media wants the public to trust them, they must be forthcoming, with realtime news.
Alito should resign immediately.
The current SCOTUS has forfeited any expectation of respect.
The OCOTUS, Obscene Court......
I have known since I was 8 years old , what respect was and how to show that respect for our flag . I am now 73 . I am disgusted with Alito , and His wife . And if my ww2 veteran Dad was still alive , he would be more than disgusted .
Those judges aren’t going anywhere. The only hope is voting , and extend the court to balance it out
He's mocking ALL OF US. Alito MUST GO.

The Supreme Corrupt needs enforceable ethics guidelines and term limits.
DISGUSTING. HE NEEDS TO LEAVE THE SUPREME COURT.
This is pathetic….a Supreme court cannot loose the confidence of the nation and still function
"This is pathetic….a Supreme court cannot loose the confidence of the nation and still function" - On the contrary, a Supreme Court can continue to function even if the entire nation absolutely despises it. As sad and pathetic as it is, the regular citizens mean nothing to and have no control over the Supreme Court. The only ones with any power over the Supreme Court are those in Congress, with the power of impeachment (which is now impossible for any Republican judge/justice).
“Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
It's obvious. Justice Alito did not dissent from his wife's opinion.
He concurred with it. Proudly and with gusto!
To understand people like Alito and his wife, it has to be appreciated that they actually believe they're engaged some kind of "holy war" against an array of political "enemies" that they view as being literal manifestations of evil.
@@martin2289 Which is hilarious, because if anyone qualifies as anti-Christians, it would be people like Alito. What did Jesus tell us to do, according to the Bible? What is Alito actually doing? Compassion? None. Honesty? None. Love thy next? That's such a hippie thing and we're in the 2020's, not the 60's. Being your brothers keeper? Not in a million years.
Some times I wonder about the disconnect that happens in some extremely fanatic people who put following the dogma of Christianity above actually being Christian.
@@martin2289 Exactly. Not unlike the insurrectionists and the Proud Boys.
@@martin2289 Agree. For as long as an individual's religious belief (or the lack of it) is allowed by that individual to underpin all of his ideas about how society should be governed, he will ultimately rationalize that even tyranny can be good.

Seriously- we have no voice as people in this country.
Just a handful of people in power are messing everything up for millions and millions of people
The Senate MUST take action immediately!
they also will support the 1st amendment rights of the SCOTUS judge.
And do what? Are you saying they should convict him in a trial? Or is there something else you believe that the senate can do by itself? If it is conviction how would they do that without an impeachment which would have to come from a republican controlled House? And say they got the articles of impeachment, how would the senate convict given the 51 to 49 split in the Senate?
@@thefingerofgod69 Can't imagine republicans having any integrity? Me neither.
@@thefingerofgod69 Yes, you're right. We can talk and be outraged all we want rightfully.. but there is practically nothing we can do and they all know it.

😂😂😂😂 for what?? A flag😂😂😂😂 DESPERATE DEMS
The best response I have heard to this is: Sam Alito can’t control his wife’s bizarre and irrational behaviour but he wants to control what all other women in America do with their bodies.
Alito and Thomas should show some respect for being a supreme court justice and step down.
We know who rules the roost in the Alito household. So Justice Alito’s WIFE deserves bodily autonomy, yet every other woman in the United States does not. Make it make sense!

@@douggardner8229 GUILTY on ALL 34 counts! LOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!!🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😆😆😆😆
I agree. They should not be like Irans Ayatollah. Time to judge them like we judge our president and Congress people. If you like what they doing then vote them in if not vote them out.
I believe you are right that the American people should have the right to vote in, and out of office Judges, but we haven't been doing so good on electing members of government in a while. We make choices from what we are given, never really doing research on them, just from the party that they represent, and the lies they tell to get elected. Who in their right mind voted for a Pay To Play Bobert or M.T.G. thinking this was a good idea. Or people like Rep. Jess Edwards that referred to young girls as being "ripe" and "fertile" this week when trying to block a ban on underage marriages.
@@douggardner8229 lol. Until their decisions affect you. Its coming, if we keep on this trajectory.
We worry about the presidency but we need to worry equally if not more about the SCOTUS
Alito to say his wife only knew of the flags and not himself
Reminded me
Of Claret Thomas didn’t know that his wife thoughts politically and that she carried out actions of involvement.
And never discussed it with him either. Yeah, right. Robert's is useless.
They make rules, they follow none
Ideals, but no principles.
In the ethics course I took it was mentioned that you not only must follow the ethical rules of your profession but you must *appear* to follow them and that includes your relationships.
It's amazing how ethics can fly out the window! He must recuse himself based on any reasonable concern of conflict. The Chief Justice must step in or the Senate Judicial committee must act to impeach judge Alito and judge Thomas
IMPEACH IMPEACH IMPEACH
1. House votes impeachment. R's still have a (slim) majority.
2. Are there enough votes in the Senate to convict?
What crime did he commit?
LOVE the neighbors !! Go girls.
These individuals are an embarrassment to this country
I am no longer a proud U.S. citizen/veteran.
Joe is going to clean house come January 2025.
VOTE BLUE! VOTE BIDEN! 🇺🇸✨
MSNBC comment section is a laugh riot!!!
The USA’s judicial system dealing with the elites and their SCOTUS are the laughing stocks of the world. So, it evens things out, doesn’t it?
Very efficient system, but only when regular and poor people are concerned though.
SUPREME COURT REFORM!
elaborate.
@@ryant2568Put em on the ballot
@@bruceradz I can't argue with that idea. I would also like to see term limits.
The problem is that in order for any of these changes to happen would require a constitutional amendment which requires a 2/3 vote in both houses. Something that is unlikely to happen any time soon.
@@ryant2568 Yes, that's a great point, I agree with you there
So you're suggesting a Constitutional Convention? You must not know that anything can happen in one.
My father was a judge and this would have never been allowed in Spain
Judge Alito will be found wanting covering the truth about His true Beliefs
He's another reason to hate religion.
@@selftaopath Not sure about that. If Alito was actually Christian, he wouldn't be such a dirtbag. He isn't meek, he lies, and he is a wealthy guy who favors big capital even though it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to go to the Kingdom of God. I'm not sure there's a single thing about Alito that wouldn't make Jesus puke in disgust.
And mind you, I say this as an atheist.
