Why not quote Mrs. Alito from Ms. Windsor's tapes? Because she sounds unhinged?https://angrybearblog.com/2024/06/alitos-admission-and-approach-to-religion-and-the-law#more-148388

Agreed. She’s crazy, has a drinking problem, or both. The totality of her behavior in all these flag stories points that direction.

Thanks for this link. I also read the Vox article linked to in the Joyce Vance article. It's pretty scary and infuriating to read that a Supreme Court Justice has adopted an "ends-jusitifes-the-means" view of jurisprudence ("I'm not all that concerned with what the law says - as long as my side wins, I'm sure I can come up with some legal-sounding wording to make it seem OK"). And the cherry on top is that this perversion is coming from the side that has always touted itself as simply following the law. Remember how Sotomayor got into "trouble" because she said her Latina upbringing in a poor family would make her a better justice? And the Right went wild with accusations that she wasn't going to follow the law. But Alito can say that we need more religion (I wonder which one?) in today's America and the Right completely ignores it.

I didn't read this but the musing of the author "I will be surprised if Alito survives this" is just silly. The only way to remove Alito is impeachment. A republican house would not impeach Alito for anything. It used to be said a politician and lets face it Alito is could survive anything except being caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy. I don't think they would touch Alito for either. And neither Thomas no Alito have any shame at all.
