I saw it before it was erased in a dup-thread clean-up. The poster is objecting to the NYT describing Alito as someone widely acknowledged to be intelligent and to have integrity. The poster felt that someone he felt was both racist and sexist shouldn't be described in that manner.
"Samuel A. Alito Jr., who has been widely praised for his intellect and integrity but both admired and assailed for his conservative judicial philosophy, was sworn in today as the 110th justice in the history of the Supreme Court."
Widely praised. INTEGRITY? Do racism and sexism count as "integrity" so long as you stay consistent?
