The quotes from the article sound like a legit villain, like holy shit. It's some of the most blatant and condescending evil I've heard from someone in office sans Trump

SCOTUS Justice Samuel Alito mocks foreign critics of Supreme Court abortion ruling & rants about religious freedom
- Thread starter Coyote Starrk
- Start date
Wonder what those arguments are
Regardless, he is a petty tyrant, wish I could be surprised
When this Roe shit happened it left me disgusted with the entire court, including the "good" ones, because it clicked what sort of person would actually feel entitled to this much power. One of only nine people that decide on these things, and for the rest of their lives, there has to be something seriously wrong with you to think you belong in that chair. This guy is aggressively trash which makes it easier to see it but they all have this level of insane hubris. You'd have to. What a vile institution. And inheritantly conservative, right? The entire purpose is to resist change by wielding the constitution.
the fact that he mocked foreign leaders whilst abroad is fucking insane. What a vile, bigot right wing piece of scum.
I've looked into the differences between how courts interpret freedom of expression in the US and Canada.
A good example of how different Canada is, is the case R v Keegstra:
There's a reason I'm trying to move back to Canada. It's not a utopia by any means, but the highest court in the land is at least sane.
It's a fucked up state of the world that any thread I read that starts with the words "SCOTUS Justice..." I kinda vaguely hope ends with "dead at age 7x".
It's a joke and post hoc ergo proctor hoc is the punchline.
In English, "Johnson talked shit about my opinion and then resigned, the order of events implies causation right? lmao"
When I lived in Alabama. I had a boss tell me, the only book worth reading was the Bible.
He brought this up because I was reading a role-playing game book in the break room.
For no reason he brought up the Freedom of Religion stuff and said "Well what they really meant was free to be there form of Christian, instead of Church of England or Catholic"
When I told him I was raised Catholic, and that most of the founding founders were diest, he decided to let me go back to work.
That is what these people think. And that was almost 30 years ago.
Speaking of being raised Catholic (I'm not one for mutliple reasons.)
My mother who literally sent me to Catholic school has been so brainwashed by this garbage she called the Pope a "False God"
Living in the south too long can have some effects.

Not religious (raised catholic) but i could by the argument that religion is a good thing, if it wasn't for all the religious people who consistently prove they are the worst humans on earth.
Pretty cool the way this life appointed fanatic from the product of a stolen election weilds religion as both a sword and shield. From Hubbard to Karesh, that's the kind of person you want making decisions at the top.
US Supreme Court is truly a perfect textbook example of unintended consequences in political policy making.
The most undercooked component of the US constitution has somehow managed to be it's most powerful, most anti-democratic, most unchecked/imbalanced branch, most perversely corrupted, and highest guaranteer of unchecked minority rule and human rights regression.
Of course our tolerance and normalizing of it is as equally disturbing and equally culpable, but still is quite amazing the branch the writers couldn't figure out what it was really supposed to even do, basically now sort of shadow controls the country.

More proof these chucklefucks like to play team politics despite being part of a an insutition that should, at least in spirit, be free from such bullshit.
He thinks he's being real cute about Boris getting kicked out (as if it had anything to do with his opinion on the SCOTUS), suggesting than anyone opposing the anti-abortion decision is just sucking on sour grapes and deserves that they get coming to them.

My mom is pretty religious, not to that extent. But she knows I'm not into it. I call her a kook sometimes and she's good-natured about it.
Because these people quite literally get the absolute best healthcare you can possibly imagine.
You got to give credit to the GOP for their uncanny, decades-long ability to pick closet theocrats for Supreme Court justices.
This quote really stands out to me. It declares how out of touch they are. People are fleeing Christianity or not attending church proper because so many awful people like him completely miss the point of who Jesus was/is and the weight of hypocrisy becomes repulsive. Like the problems with the church today are easily addressed but these ghouls are hellbent on destroying it.
Thanks for reminding the world why we're a fucking dumpster fire despite being one of the biggest countries in the world, buddy.
One of the richest countries in the world but we're trying to drag women's rights back into the dark ages and we don't blink an eye when schools full of children get shot up.
Its normaaal. Its all normal.

Religious freedom yet you sumbmit everyone to your perceived thoughts on religion??? Okay then…..
To paraphrase something Mahatma Gandhi once said: Christians would be great if they were more like Jesus.
Basically every single Justice appointed by the GOP is picked from an approved list of committed theocrats. They do it all out in the open while telling us they're just calling balls & strikes. The lying about it just really sets me off.
he knows that but the fake conceit is 'widdle America who keeps to itself, is a sovereign nation, keeps to it's laws and does no harm'
but he knows what happens when America sneezes, the Republicans love all of that global power too.
As a life-long christian who has lapsed from the church but still holds a certain ideological affinity for much of the Christ message, I hear where sentiments like this are coming from, but still feel like it kind of misses the larger point.
Even if the larger modern church in America embraced and understood the values espoused by Jesus, it still wouldn't change the fact that liberal democratic society couldn't truly be considered functional unless it also considered the rights and opinions of the secular, for whatever reason they choose to be secular.
Alito's rant is not just a giant middle finger to religions outside of traditional christianity, but those who choose non-belief as well.
Alito is a right wing hack, a Christofascist and a politician, nothing more. He certainly isn't an impartial jurist and he should be removed from the court.
And now that it is pretty clear that it was a conservative that leaked Alito's decision -- if not Alito himself -- it is high time that Roberts gives the American people an update on the progress of that investigation into the leak. We have a right to know.

Part of their endgame will be that those in power can easily live past 90 while the general population will die in their 30s.
