Alito: ‘Tolerance for Opposing Views Is Now in Short Supply in Many Law Schools’

[j-mac]

During a speech before the Federalist Society on Thursday, Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito lamented that “tolerance for opposing views is now in short supply in many law schools and in the broader academic community.” And stated that recent law school graduates repeatedly tell him “that they face harassment and retaliation if they say anything that departs from the law school orthodoxy.”

Later on, Alito talked about a “growing hostility to the expression of unfashionable views.” He referenced the 1972 George Carlin “seven dirty words” routine and stated that “Today, you can see shows on your TV screen in which the dialogue appears at time to consist almost entirely of those words. Carlin’s list seems like a quaint relic. But it would be easy to put together a new list called: Things You Can’t Say if You’re a Student or a Professor at a College or University, or an Employee of Many Big Corporations. And there wouldn’t just be seven items on that list. Seventy times seven would be closer to the mark.”

This type of thing is poised now to get worse...We see in here the intolerance for the opposition among progressives, and liberals toward conservatives not only with viewpoints, but ideology period...I like Justice Alito and concerned for the future of this country as a conservative....What say you?

What say you?

I say men in dresses are lawyers first- lawyers pay others to teach them to twist, spin, castigate and create word havoc for a specific purpose- setting too much store in what they think is irrational- Public Education is the benevolent creator and I have not heard one man in a black dress denounce it-

What say I?

Justice Alito is correct, but he is just publicly saying what many ordinary people (like me) are afraid to say in public (at school, at work, etc.).

Liberals are self-righteous and sanctimonious. It's their way or the highway.

For example, liberals would never, ever blame the perps of violent crime. Those perps are actually victims of systemic you-know-what, say the liberals.

If you dare disagree, liberals will first label you as a "racist" and then proceed to get you fired from your job or even evicted from your apartment. As in the USSR, they will turn you into a non-person. How dare you disagree with their views!

During the next four years, conservative heads will (figuratively) roll. AOC admitted it. Our version of the the French Revolution's Reign of Terror is about to start. Former President Trump will be its first victim.

Alito is of course wrong.

It’s perfectly warranted to be hostile toward advocacy of racism, bigotry, and hate – that’s why such views are indeed unfashionable, and appropriately so.

It was the intent of the Framers that private citizens in the context of private society determine what manner of speech and expression are appropriate what are not – free from interference by the government and the courts.

This is just another wrongheaded manifestation of conservative reactionaryism and white grievance politics.

[Lysistrata]

This guy Alito has already announced in public that he does not function as an unbiased justice ready to judge every case before him on its merits. He went public in his speech with his bigotry against LGBTQs and against free women who refuse to be second-class citizens and bow down to theocrats. He announced his intention to legislate from the bench.

He claimed in a dissent that he wrote that the Obergefell decision evidenced a "cavalier treatment of religion" by the Court, but the decision only dealt with civil law and the rights of all Americans, and he didn't even say what religion(s) he was talking about. Not all religions are the same and a sizeable amount of Americans don't claim to subscribe to one.

Civil law should never be based on a religion. The rights and freedoms of all Americans should never be defined by someone's religious beliefs. We are supposed to have the freedom as individuals to choose which one, if any, we wish to practice. Moreover, the term "religion" is generic. The government would have to choose a specific religion and faction thereof, from among the many, in order to impose a religion through civil law. Even if it would be proper in the U.S. to impose a specific religious view on the American public, in Christianity alone, some denominations celebrate same-sex marriages and some condemn it, so it would come down to picking among religious factions.

A person who makes statements that disparage other people and their rights should not object to being called a bigot. A person who pre-judges the cases before him is not fit for the bench.

True.

Alito is a conservative ideologue, rightwing extremist, and culture warrior – wholly unfit to be on the Supreme Court.

He and Thomas adhere to the idiotic notion that to enact laws prohibiting discrimination against gay Americans, African Americans, Hispanic Americans and other minorities is to ‘violate’ the religious liberty of Christians because Christians can’t discriminate against minorities motivated by their hateful religious dogma.

Christian bigots are at complete liberty to hate gay Americans, for example; but they can’t codify their hate in secular law – such as prohibiting same-sex couples from marrying.

And that states are prohibited from denying same-sex couples access to marriage law in no manner ‘discriminates’ against Christians. That Christians might be perceived as bigots because of their unwarranted hatred of gay Americans is the fault of Christian bigots alone, not the Constitution’s requirement that gay Americans be afforded equal protection of the law.

Alito is right.

Alito delivered a well-deserved shot at the execrable Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse. The recent brief filed by the vile Senator and four equally vile colleagues in a case regarding a New York City firearms transportation ordinance. Whitehouse and his colleagues said that a pro-gun ruling would further incite the growing movement to “restructure” the Court. Alito accurately described the brief as an affront to the Constitution and the rule of law.”

As the Washington Post acknowledges, the Whitehouse brief was criticized even by some Democrats as too threatening. And the late Justice Ginsburg denounced the idea of court packing — the threat through which Whitehouse was trying to intimidate the Court.

Alito’s address has drawn howls from the left, however, the speech raises no problems of judicial ethics.

On all the matters that these clowns finds controversial, the speech broadly reiterates what Alito has already spelled out in his written opinions. By contrast, Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s speeches, the ones that used to draw gushing praise from the left, addressed open issues on which the justice hadn’t yet ruled — e.g., same sex marriage and President Trump’s tax returns.

Lying Lizzy Warren slammed Justice Alito’s speech. She tweeted:

Supreme Court Justices aren’t supposed to be political hacks. This right-wing speech is nakedly partisan. My bill to #EndCorruptionNow restores some integrity to our Court by forcing Justices to follow the ethics rules other federal judges follow.

This is lying Warren admitting that Alito’s speech did not violate any ethical rules for Supreme Court Justices and that she is engaging in mindless, empty name-calling.

Along with Justice Thomas, Justice Alito has fought valiantly on behalf of our constitutional rights. And starting this term, I expect that they will be ably aided in the struggle by the notorious Justice Barrett.

View attachment 416315​

What would be Alito's arguments for overturning Supreme Court precedents? Whose constitutional rights are you referring to when you say "our" constitutional rights? The Obergefell decision affirmed the constitutional right to equal protection of the laws in a matter that involves only the relationship between individual Americans and government under civil law, as have other decisions that he doesn't like, in a situation in which the right of an outside party to practice whatever religion is not even implicated.

Religions make their own rules that apply to their adherents. They don't apply to people who are not adherents. Alito is trying to use civil law to impose his Roman Catholic beliefs on all Americans, regardless of what faith, if any, they follow. I guess that he would uphold a civil law banning divorce, which we know breaks up families, with the result that all divorces would be null and void, and all of the divorced would still be legally married to their first legal spouse.

Alito is the embodiment of what Americans feared during the election of 1960.
