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

Alito claimed that public criticism of anti-gay advocates constitutes an assault on free speech.

This is proof he doesn't belong on the highest bench of the land.

wield such an enormous amount of power, yet constantly bitch about being persecuted. Same with billionaires. I've never seen so many unhappy billionaires in my life!!!

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!!!

Judges should not be giving partisan speeches to groups that have a mission statement to control the politics of this country through control of the Supreme Court. Just say'n.
