Samuel Alito Goes Full Political Commentator In Federalist Society Speech

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.
What problem? There is no problem.

By the way, good luck trying to impeach SC justices you happen to dislike.
Or even more unlikely, packing the court with leftist judges you happen to approve of.

You might as well wish for lollipop trees and unicorns in your front yard. Jesus....so dumb.
 
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?
It's not bizarre for a rightwing ideologue hostile to facts, science, and the truth.
I don’t believe you comprehended his remarks correctly. We are supposed to be citizens of a nation with limited government and individual liberty. Government imposed lock downs are incompatible with our heritage and constitution.

Apparently you’d like to live in a Stasi-like nation. Many of us don’t.

You find this bizarre?
The following isn’t so much directed at you, as it is the media and commentators...
How many times did Ruth Ginsberg go off in political rants? How many times did she make blatantly partisan remarks and interviews? Hell, she even criticized a sitting president, pretty certain that’s really not supposed to be done. I’m fairly certain I recall either sotomayor or kagen talking political policy, NOT as it related to the law but what she likes.
I don’t recall a word about it from any leftist paper, news org, commentator, etc.

In this instance, alito is discussing the legal and constitutional implications of what is going on in the country, in regards to decisions made by the executive branches in those states. That isn’t political, it’s exactly what his job is.

The selective “shock” and hand wringing is pathetic, as usual.
 
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?
And what the fuck is a “moderate” when it comes to the constitution??
There are originalists and people who read the plain text of the document, and look at what the founders discussed and believed in their other writings, and try to apply that to issues that come before them.
Then there are activists, who try to find ways to make the constitution say what they want it to say to achieve a goal.

Please explain which justices are corrupt, and explain how?
Making decisions or holding opinions you don’t like doesn’t make one “corrupt”, FYI.

Some of you are really warped.
 
Well, Sparky, sometimes you just have to fight fire with fire. BTW, Trump and Mitch have been the ones packing the courts.
Learn what "court packing" is. I do not think it means what you think it does.

It's how stupid Democrats are. They use words they don't understand because they like the way they sound. Democrats politicize everything, including the definition of words

Pity that RBG passed, but there is a definite upside.

Your new made up phrase is RWNJ? Meaningless.

I love it when Republicans deny they want to overturn roe v wade.

Legal positions in the Bush administration were also overwhelmingly staffed with Federalist Society members. Approximately half of Bush's nominees for appellate court judgeships were Federalist Society members. The Bush administration was harshly criticized for the decision to nominate Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court, with conservative critics arguing that she lacked a consistently conservative track record, did not have Federalist Society "credentials" and for her purported ties to the American Bar Association (which conservatives considered to be liberal). After conservative outcry, Miers withdrew the nomination. The Bush administration went on to nominate Samuel Alito, a Federalist Society member with a consistent conservative track record who was active in Federalist Society circles, to the Supreme Court.

According to The Washington Post Magazine, "Many individual Federalists are political and ideological warriors, though never in the name of the Federalist Society. Rather, society events provide the proving ground where they hone their arguments, seize a chance to shine and come to the attention of mentors higher up in the political-legal hierarchy. In that sense, the Federalist Society is a talent network and placement agency as well."

A 2008 study found that Federalist Society members appointed by Republican administrations to the U.S. Courts of Appeals had more conservative voting records than non-members. Critics say the organization favors judicial activism, in particular on social issues. Many members of the Federalist Society favor overturning Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court ruling that permits abortion. The organization tends to favor judges who take conservative stances on abortion rights and other social issues. Members of the Federalist Society have presented oral arguments in every single abortion case that has been before the Supreme Court since 1992.

Freedom is a political issue?

Oh, and can you link us up to the thread you started whining and crying about the lefty hack RBG's political rants?

There has never been such a thing
If you look into the Federalist Society you'll see Republicans for a long time now have been appointing these anti abortion anti gay judges. Fact is they don't represent what the people think. Most Americans are okay with gay marriage. But conservatives like Alito still have a problem with it. Maybe they should only serve for 10 years because the right wing nut job today might not represent the people 10 years from now.

We all need to take a closer look at this Federalist Society. Reminds me of PNAC during the Bush era. They wrote legislation and Republicans got it passed. Usually shit voters would say no to, they sneak into bills.

Reminds me of Iran where they have Moolah's who are in charge. America has right wing religious nutjubs ruling over us via the Supreme Court.
