The conservative justice criticized science-backed COVID-19 restrictions and condemned the Supreme Court’s 2015 decision to legalize same-sex marriage.

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito gave alarmingly political remarks on Thursday, criticizing many states’ science-based COVID-19 restrictions and condemning the high court’s decision to legalize same-sex marriage.

The justice, whose job is to not appear partisan, delivered the keynote speech at this year’s Federalist Society convention. The Federalist Society is the conservative legal organization that has chosen and helped confirm all three of President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominees ― Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett ― and nearly all of his 53 appeals court judges.

In his speech, Alito ripped governors for issuing “sweeping restrictions” in response to COVID-19, which is surging in nearly every state in the union.

“We have never before seen restrictions as severe, extensive and prolonged as those experienced for most of 2020,” Alito said, mentioning the lack of live events, in-person religious services and court trials.

The justice said that the pandemic “has highlighted disturbing trends that were already present before the virus struck.”

Alito’s politicization of scientific fact is alarming as the United States enters a dark winter of soaring coronavirus cases and hospitalizations ― and comes after Coney Barrett said during her Senate confirmation hearing that the climate crisis, another scientific fact, was “a very contentious matter of public debate” and “politically controversial.”

In addition to his anti-science tirade, Alito condemned the landmark same-sex marriage decision Obergefell v. Hodges, saying it has led to censorship of people who believe is “a union of one man and one woman.” He suggested it meant that freedom of speech is “falling out of favor in some circles.”

I find this bizarre for a U.S. Supreme Court Justice! What do you think?

I think he wasn't making remarks from the bench. He's a citizen expressing his beliefs.

Oh my goodness, how dare he be concerned for the rights of free citizens.
 
I don't get you in one thread you want open borders but in the next OP you want closed borders..


So confusing

What I want is a non-political SCOTUS.
Yet liberals want to pack the courts. Do you expect us to believe they would only nominate moderates?

Well, Sparky, sometimes you just have to fight fire with fire. BTW, Trump and Mitch have been the ones packing the courts.

Fake News. RBG gave her views quite freely and you never said squat.

Canon 5: A Judge Should Refrain from Political Activity

(A) General Prohibitions. A judge should not:

(1) act as a leader or hold any office in a political organization;
(2) make speeches for a political organization or candidate, or publicly endorse or oppose a candidate for public office; or
(3) solicit funds for, pay an assessment to, or make a contribution to a political organization or candidate, or attend or purchase a ticket for a dinner or other event sponsored by a political organization or candidate.

Alito did none of those things.

The Censorious Left thinks that something is quite wrong every time a view is expressed that they don't agree with. It's called living in a free society, where even folks who think differently than you have the same rights you do, to speak their minds.

Are you truly unable to recognize that other humans have the same rights you do?

There are two solutions to solve this RWNJ problem in the USSC.

Impeach the corrupt a$$holes appointed by the impeached president trump. Or, increase the number of Justices to thirteen and set term limits.

I think that baby hitlers at the county and state level have exceeded their authority and common sense over the wuflu

closing churches and dictating how many family members are allowed to gather at Thanksgiving are just two examples of many

I stopped reading when you said, 'science-backed covid-19 restrictions'.

If you are going to lie about that, you'll lie about anything.

Under your scenario Kennedy, Sotomayor, Keagan would be gone. Robert's probably would be.
Making decisions based on the constitution and the law is not far right.
Making decisions based on feelings and the collective good is far left.

You're the anti-science party. This is just one of your talking points. You oppose the only two effective solutions we have in our current technology today to combat climate change (nuclear and fracking for natural gas). You think people can change their gender by deciding they are a different gender. You think the President created the virus and is responsible for deaths in States he didn't set policies in, Democrats did.

You're ideological extremists who deny science

Now I'm laughing at you. If you don't know what "packing the court" means, for God sakes, you're on the INTERNET. Google it, man.

Hint, it doesn't mean you don't like it. Government schools do suck. Stop advertising you were only babysat for 13 years
