As politically partisan a speech as Ive ever seen from a justice: arrogant , tendentious, and sloppy. Alito condemned COVID-19 restrictions, marriage equality, abortion rights, and five sitting Democratic senators.

(16,065 posts)Alito doesn't like being called a bigot, but his constant attacks on marriage equality, fits the definition of the word!
He wants freedom of choice for a baker, but is more then willing to deny freedom of choice to women, that makes him a hypocrite, probably another name he doesn't like being called!
It's a good thing Alito wasn't living during WWII, because the restrictions at that time would have really pissed him off, but then again he would have likely been a Black Shirt supporting Mussolini!!!
Maybe Alito could show us what integrity is, by resigning from the court and becoming a public speaker...but he has no integrity, he's a bigot, a hypocrite, and likely a closet racist...only the best!!!
