Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito's homes flew two flags associated with January 6. One of them symbolizes Christian Nationalism. This is a microcosm of the right-wing radicalism in this 6-3 SCOTUS.
Ah, sorry I maxed out your outrage quota for the day! It’s one of those stories that grew more unbelievable the more I wrote. I mean, Mrs. Alito’s behavior to the neighbor was just unacceptable. And Sam Alito should 100% not sit on J6 cases. Neither should Thomas. I wish there were more ethical standards we could hold Supreme Court Justices to. They seem unaccountable other than outright impeachment.
I’ve been keeping a close eye on this stuff but you’ve managed to add yet another outrage to my daily quota. How on earth do these people not recognize a conflict of interest? I know there are laws governing some of this but then political shenanigans contort the facts. Thank you for your always insightful coverage, Ahmed.
Conservative infrastructure steeps its arguments in the belief that unelected jurors harm democratic processes. Especially as it pertains to overturning Roe, it has been evident with recent developments that those processes do not matter when it comes to using the judiciary to foster unpopular policy in the face of a population moving away from conservative orthodoxy.
Exactly. It’s incredibly hypocritical. They constantly talk about the need to purge “unelected bureaucrats” in the federal government, but they’re totally fine with right-wing justices, whose position on the court they engineered, making unilateral decisions that inflict their minority will on the majority.

And it is high time to begin restructuring our judiciary from the top down. Lifetime appointments are very unusual. Now I’m going to have my tea . . .
Agreed. We need a change. Yea sounds like a good idea right now lol
