I'm not sure there is no evidence but let's assume that is correct. If Alito wants to make a statement, then let him make his statement. All the better.

Let the reputation chips fall inline with his indiscretions.

That’s absolutely ridiculous. Alito doesn’t owe any explanation to anyone. He can do whatever he damn well pleases on his own private property.

Wrong, Earl. He's a Supreme Court Justice---highest court in the land---not some yahoo who works at a hardware store. He took an oath to be impartial, non-partisan and follow the law. He hasn't done that--and neither have any of the conservatives on the court. They've all taken money and trips and favors from rich conservatives---especially Clearance Thomas and Alito, with Gorsuch and Kavanaugh, who had his house mortgage and his country-club membership paid off by some mystery conservative--not far behind. Alito's been partisan and gone on junkets that he shouldn't have accepted. It's corruption. You don't fly Stop the Steal bull%hit flags when you're a SCOTUS justice--but sadly we've got a bunch of corrupt people on the court. Corruption is a popular thing with Republicans.

Perhaps you should make a final clarifying post once your personality from this post can reach agreement with your other personality from your previous post (12 minutes before this one). These things sometimes happen when you've been hitting the "space mushrooms" too hard.

Maybe you should rethink and then rewrite these two sentences so that make even a little sense next time.

Did this guy just describe Clearance Thomas as a "distinguished legal scholar." He must be on meth. Thomas is arguably biggest lightweight
in the history of SCOTUS---setting aside his many years of grifting money and favors from rich conservative/GOP donors. He's been a disgrace for years. We're talking about a justice who did not ask ONE QUESTION during oral arguments for TEN YEARS. NOT ONE. He's a joke--and should be booted off the court for corruption. He didn't properly fill out his disclosure forms for years--conveniently leaving out all the trips, gifts and money he got from outsiders who knew he could be influenced.

As for Alito, he's long been a christian nationalist and abrasive a$$hat. And he's been caught showing it. We haven't and don't see this kind of shameful behavior from the progressives on the court. Corruption has always been a thing with conservatives.

The obvious metric for a MAGA response---lame.

Questions and answers are a major part of SCOTUS oral arguments. That's why they're called "oral arguments." The Justices ask questions
and the lawyers respond and argue their point. To not ask a single question over 10 years is unheard of. Thomas is not just a corrupt grifter--but a total
judicial lightweight.

Jamie Raskin is one of the true stars of our Congress. He was a law professor for 25 years before getting into politics. He's one of the smartest
and most articulate people in Congress, and we see him frequently correcting stupid and/or factually erroneous statements made by Republicans. Here he is questioned about the genuinely corrupt state of our Supreme Court and how it could--and must be--reformed. And if you don't think it's corrupt, well, you're dumb and dishonest.

We've got two Supreme Court justices who unquestionably should have recused themselves from Jan.6 and insurrection cases, particularly the case involving presidential immunity, because they obviously have serious conflicts of interests and have clearly shown that they are not impartial arbiters of law, and yet they've brazenly refused to do so. We've got a justice, Clarence Thomas, who's had a For Sale sign on his back for decades--a man happy to accept money and trips and million-dollar RVs from conservative billionaires with an interest in SCOTUS cases---and then he has the audacity to pretend that's not done anything wrong. He was heard recently whining because he thinks he's a victim of unfair criticism for his obvious corruption. He and Alito, to name two, don't give a ****. Alito has been aggressively partisan for years. We have three new conservatives on the court who all transparently lied to Congress about their views on Roe V. Wade during their confirmation hearings. We have no accountability on the Supreme Court for unethical behavior--it's the only federal court that does not have a code of ethics--and the court is in a very bad state, partly because Roberts is such a disgracefully weak Chief Justice. In any case, this is worth a read.

I'd like to see Raskin run for president--he'd be great.

Scalia famously peppered those before the Court with questions. What are your thoughts on him?

Thomas may not say much, but he writes far more opinions than others. And he writes extensively when authoring those opinions.

Seriously, have you been diagnosed? See a therapist? On mood altering meds? Been banned from public places? Hear voices? Unable to keep steady employment?

Or maybe this is just your online persona.

Conservatives suffered for literally DECADES from rulings handed down by a left leaning court. We learned to deal with it and await our turn. Now that things have changed, the Libs don’t want to play by the same rules anymore. Sorry folks, now YOU know what it feels like to have your lives controlled by 9 unelected people. You put all of your political aspirations in the actions of the judiciary in the 1970s and 1980s; now the creature YOU nurtured and fed had turned on YOU.

My online persona is that of an individual who corrects all the laughable nonsense posted by others. I get that some don't like
being called on their lame comments that conflict with known facts, but it's important to set the record straight.
