  1. Sam Alito has also decided that Sam Alito is a comprised MAGA mental case. He is the exact opposite of impartial.

  2. He needs an accountability app to share with his son that alerts him every time he fails to be impartial. Works for Mike.

  3. Checks and balances. Cashing checks and checking his balance.

  4. In overturning Roe v. Wade, Alito cited a 17th century judge who sentenced women to death for being witches. But sure, he’s impartial.

  5. When the US turns into Handmaids Tale he will most certainly be a Commander

  7. I think this man deserves leniency as he judges himself from the bench

  8. I do enjoy Samuel Alito’s “nuh uh my wife did it” defense

  9. So Alito performed an impartial investigation on how impartial Alito is and Alito has discovered that Alito is impartial enough to A) decide how impartial Alito is and B) impartially make country wide decisions involving things Alito has openly had biased opinions on.

    Sounds legit **/S**

  11. I wish Rand Paul’s neighbor would move next door to the Alitos.

  13. Sam Alito needs to be removed from his position for treason.

  14. How much will Alito’s participation taint any decisions in those cases???

  15. >For his part, Alito “denied the flag was hung upside down as a political protest, saying it stemmed from a neighborhood dispute and indicating that his wife had raised it,”

    >“My wife’s reasons for flying the flag are not relevant for present purposes,” he wrote in the letter, “but I note that she was greatly distressed at the time due, in large part, to a very nasty neighborhood dispute in which I had no involvement.”

    >“I was not even aware of the upside-down flag until it was called to my attention. As soon as I saw it, I asked my wife to take it down, but for several days, she refused,” he wrote. He described this effort in strikingly legalistic terms: Since she is co-owner of the house, he continued, his wife “therefore has the legal right to use the property as she sees fit, and there were no additional steps that I could have taken to have the flag taken down more promptly.”

    Lol. This is the old “multiple lies are better than one, even if they contradict one another” maneuver. The flag has nothing to do with politics, nothing to do with Alito at all because his wife is her own person and he somehow has no control over what she does in their home. Alito didn’t even know about the flag. And yet when he found out about this completely apolitical and harmless flag flying in his home over which he had no control or influence, he immediately demanded the harmless flag be taken down. Even though his wife is her own person and co-owns the property and thus can use the property as shes fit and he has no right to tell her what to do. Unless its related to her own reproductive matters, Samuel Alito has no right to tell his wife what to do. But it doesnt matter because the flag wasn’t bad anyway and it wasn’t his fault.

    Alito is trying to make this go away by using a 5th graders lying strategy and using legalese to describe the personal relationship he has with his wife

  16. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Vote in November

    Its not just about Biden vs Trump, its about 1/3 of the Senate and 100% of the House. Congress is needed not only to support Biden but to hold the Supreme Court accountable.

  18. It’s a good thing he is impartial in his estimation of his own impartiality otherwise we might suspect that he isn’t.

  19. Enough talk, trying to reason with an unreasonable person gives them all the power in the room.

    It’s time for full blown Ghandi/MLK style civil disobedience campaign to protest the blatant corruption in the SCOTUS and Judge Cannon.

    The civil rights fights of the 60s have never stopped, they have just slowly become the fight for the right of anyone to not be subjected to a corrupt judiciary. The time for talk is over its now time to co-ordinate and take to the streets.

  20. Footage of Alito literally blowing Trump could surface and he still wouldn’t recuse himself, and Roberts and Thomas would be like “So what? What’s the problem?”

  22. Alito is a cuck.

    From all available data, his wife is half owner, if not full owner of their house/s.

    “I can’t tell her what to do.”

    Really? As 1 of 9 top justices, with lifetime appointments that render final judgemens, you have no control over what your “better half” does to represent you in your esteemable position? You couldn’t talk to her about it?

    Then, it’s true, Alito is a cuck. He probably watches his wife be gangbanged by any number of men/women. And I bet he secretly loves it…

  23. Shouldn’t that be an indicator that someone isn’t impartial?

  24. We are a few days (?) from them arguing that social media posts can’t be attributed to them as well, because you can’t *really* prove it was them. Not entirely joking on this, I imagine a future where that is used in court. “Did you SEE trump type and send that message??”

  25. It’s stupid, but this is how the Supreme Court works. Supreme Court justices get to decide if they should recuse themselves or not. Checks and balances are a joke.

  26. With being such a dick and having a life long appointment, I’d be afraid of people ending my life long appointment..

  27. he learned self reflection from the best, Tony Scabs Scalia.
    pound for pound the best jurist to gak out on a hooker in a hotel room ever.

  28. Right?! What kind of fucking nonsensical system is this? You have to give it to Trump, he has been absolutely phenomenal at pinpointing all the flaws in our system and exploiting them, it’s actually impressive how strong we think we are but how fragile we truly are.

  29. It’s like when I ask myself if I’ve had enough to drink

  34. Alito, along with the rest of the Court, is being stupidly short sighted by not accepting actual enforceable ethics rules. The Supreme Court has no way, on their own, to enforce any of their decisions. They have no army, no special agents, no enforcement officers, and they control no one’s budget. Their decisions are enforced only because the Congress, the executive branch, and the states have decided for 221 years (I’m dating this from Marbury v. Madison because that case established judicial review) to trust them and abide by their decisions. Their only real power is trust. If they destroy that trust, they destroy their only real power. If Congress and the President ever decide to start ignoring the Court, there would be absolutely nothing the Court could do about it, and it would become, overnight, one of the weakest offices in the federal government.

  35. Phew!

    Imagine if he wasn’t impartial and was one of the people deciding whether a corrupt president has absolute immunity…

    Now that…that would suck.

  37. Logic dictates that at the start of each senate majority and presidential win, all justices on that side of the aisle retire instantly to be replaced with the youngest judges available. Trump had two die and Kennedy’s boy fulfilled Anthony’s legacy. Ginsburg truly fucked us by clinging to her seat for whatever fucking reasons….after Biden wins in November and the dems increase the senate majority, kagan and Soto need to retire ASAP
