“The good thing about that shitshow at the SCt is that it will make court reform easier. pack the court, term limits and ethics. Every D needs to be on board in Senate to break filibuster to do this.”

I mean, a pretty big percentage of Americans voted for Trump, so … us being stupid isn’t off the table.
He doesn’t care what you think. He is a religious fascist.
They got part of their plan ending Roe. They will get all of it if you don’t vote.
Your only chance to sabotage their fascist plans is to vote for Biden.
No, he doesn’t. He just doesn’t give a shit what we think.
Pack the court.. Or if they rule that presidential immunity is a thing, liberate a few seats cause why the fuck not right?
To be fair, many of us are.
He doesn’t really care what anybody thinks because they apparently can do whatever they want
No, he just thinks there’s fuck all you can do about it.
Alito is an insecure man with mommy problems. Oh and he’s also a psychopath without a shred of common decency or understanding of what justice actually is. He doesn’t care but now I feel a little better.
I mean we keep letting him be on the Supreme Court so…he’s not entirely wrong.
He’s 74 and we will have to scoop his rotting corpse out of his chair before he’ll retire.
Just those who are MAGA, for the rest of us it doesn’t matter one iota because he’s part of at minimum a bought and sold four male Conservative vote with a weak Chief J and a religious fanatic
His opinion on a NY handgun thing that came out days before roe v wade is so backwards it can only be the result of corruption. His logic and reasoning are so off, that it can only be the result of being in somebody’s pocket.
According to statistics, he’s not entirely wrong. Oh, he’s a terrible person and stuff, but a LOT of people are stupid. Including him!
I’m calling it now: Idaho will be left without any ER or Ob/GYN physicians if this ruling is upheld for Idaho and the ADF Lawyers. ER physicians will retire en masse over this shit.
You mean the guy who leaked the Dobbs decision and then got all mad that ‘somebody’ leaked the Dobbs decision thinks we’re all stupid?!?!
Really, he’s nothing special though. Just another MAGA crook.
He’s one of 9 of a singularly exclusive “club” and arguable one of the most powerful people, certainly in the US, if not the world. I’m sure he doesn’t concern himself with us plebeians until one of us dares to question his authority.
It’s worth repeating that unlike the other branches of government, the Supreme Court has no enforcement mechanism. Their only power is legitimacy. If they keep on acting like clowns by reversing precedent, deciding on cases with no legal standing, using the shadow docket, etc., then they’ll be no different than a bunch of randos cosplaying as wizards. We may soon be approaching the day when the Supreme Court is simply ignored.
I used to think Thomas was the worst justice, but I’ve since changed my mind. Alito is worse than Thomas. Thomas at least has the self-awareness to know he’s a giant corrupt piece of shit. He just doesn’t care, which I can respect in a way. At least he’s honest about it. Alito actually believes he’s doing the Lord’s work, and that his farts smell like sunshine and roses and that you should think that too. Us common folk are just too simple to understand.
Honestly, this is why I dislike the guy so much more than the other lunatics. He incorrectly thinks that he’s smarter than everyone because of his position on the court, but he’s in his position because he’s a confident, ambitious bootlicker. His arguments are so unconvincing, it should make everyone question the supposed prestige of an ivy league education.
The more I hear the audio of him and the other jamokes, the more I lose respect for the court. No wonder this dude gets mad when the press covers him. He’s a completely inept partisan hack who has been handled with kid gloves for 40ish years and he finally caught the spotlight. And what the spotlight shows is a mediocre man who has only gotten where he is because of ambition and a willingness to say the absolute dumbest shit with the unearned confidence of someone who pals around with the worst generationally rich scumbags this country could shit out.

> During Wednesday’s Supreme Court arguments over life-saving abortions in emergency rooms, a few things became clear: The male justices are unconcerned by women’s suffering, and Justice Samuel Alito thinks there aren’t enough abortion restrictions across the U.S.—but if you press him on that point, you’re the ridiculous one.
That is how all right wingers argue:
* Explain there is no evidence to prove the existence of an all powerful sky wizard ‘god’ – you’re the ridiculous one.
* Explain there is a mountain of evidence proving the threat of climate change – you’re the ridiculous one.
* Explain decades of scientific research prove the efficacy of vaccination against disease – you’re the ridiculous one.
* Explain the historical facts of slavery in the USA or how dividing cells won’t even resemble a fetus for weeks – you’re the ridiculous one.
Conservatives live in a fictional unreality where their beliefs hold more value than facts and they enforce those beliefs on the rest of us through tyrannical abuse of power.
The SCOTUS continues to be illegitimate, and puppeteering for the federalist society with their bought partisan hacks.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned after being an attorney for 14 years is that most people drawn to the profession are awful selfish assholes and most of them are dunning kreuger incarnate. Every lawyer thinks they know everything while have good memorization skills but absolutely zero empathy or common sense reasoning. It’s infuriating to deal with other lawyers on a day to day basis and I’m sure the Supreme Court is the absolute peak of this.
Judges need to come and go with term limits. Judges in this country have evolved plenty in the past 40 years. Shorten the cycle of minds and ideologies in the Supreme Court and we could get to a nice even keel.
You know how to prevent things like this long term? Vote. Every election. No matter what. Even if you’re not wild about the candidate. Not voting is the same as voting Republican. 1/3 of the Supreme Court was appointed by one man who was in office for four years. If people had voted in 2016, the court would now be 5-4 liberal and imagine how different the world would be.
Most Christian Neo-Fascists think that everyone else is inferior to them, so thinking we’re intellectually inferior isn’t much of a stretch. A default assumption of superiority is kind-of required to make their worldview work.
Many Americans are stupid but so is Alito. He believes the will of a make-believe sky creature should determine US policy. That’s pretty stupid. What if a Supreme Court Justice based his legal philosophy on Iron Man?
I mean, he’s not wrong
The fact we aren’t all losing our collective minds demanding that Thomas recuse himself is proof that we are all dumb.
The fact that he hasn’t also says he doesn’t give a fuck.
SCOTUS appointments should be on the ballot every time a seat opens up. We should have more say on who gets appointed. It would involve amending the constitution, which would likely be impossible with the current climate. But allowing our government to handle appointments without any say from the people has clearly shown to be disastrous.
> He was not-so-subtly hinting that he thinks there’s a legislative basis for fetal personhood hidden in the law, and said that EMTALA “indisputably protects the interests of the unborn child” if the pregnant woman wants to continue the pregnancy. Prelogar countered that “the duty runs to the individual with the emergency medical condition” and it was wrong to imply that “Congress suggested that the woman herself isn’t an individual, that she doesn’t deserve stabilization.” Sensing that Prelogar was onto him, Alito got testy. “Nobody’s suggesting that the woman is not an individual, and she doesn’t … she doesn’t deserve stabilization. Nobody’s suggesting that,” he snapped. Prelogar calmly responded that Idaho is currently treating women in this fashion.
This case is *literally* about whether EMTALA requires hospitals to provide stabilizing care to women, when that care is an abortion. If the fetus is considered to have equal rights in this scenario, then ERs can choose to deny stabilizing care to women and to simply let them die, under the pretext that they were protecting the fetus. Yes, the fetus in this situation will die as well, but that death won’t be because of any action taken by the hospital and it will be a medically unpreventable death. It’s not just about giving doctors the ability to *choose* to let women die – abortion bans are *incentivizing* that choice. Letting the mom die will be the *safest* choice for a doctor to make, because it’s the choice that saves them from any risk of criminal prosecution.

Remember when they were trying to investigate where the leak to the public came from…
