• Let's talk about Justice Alito

    Let's talk about Justice Alito and how he's posing as a SCOTUS justice
    and is nothing but a politician in a black robe.

    Alito has an interesting history.

    Did you know that in 1985, he applied for a job in the Reagan Justice Department. He listed on his resume membership in an alumni group,
    "Concerned Alumni of Princeton."

    Was this group "concerned" with world peace, famine around the world,
    climate change, or just getting better meals at Princeton?

    Nope.

    The group was "concerned" that too many WOMEN were being admitted at
    the expense of the children of alumni.

    The group had been founded in 1972, the year that Judge Alito
    graduated, by alumni, upset that Princeton had recently begun
    admitting women. It published a magazine, Prospect, which persistently
    accused the administration of taking a permissive approach to student
    life, of promoting birth control and paying for abortions, and of
    diluting the explicitly Christian character of the school.

    As Princeton admitted a growing number of minority students, the
    concerned alumni charged repeatedly that the administration was
    lowering admission standards, undermining the university's distinctive traditions and admitting too few children of alumni

    "Currently alumni children comprise 14 % of each entering class,
    compared with an 11 % quota for blacks and Hispanics," the group wrote
    in a 1985 fund-raising letter sent to all Princeton graduates.
    Sexism, racial insensitivity, Christian supremacy, and 19th-century
    views on women's reproductive rights seemed to be the hallmark of this
    group that Alito claimed membership in when he applied to work for the
    Reagan Administration.

    Did you also know that he recused from cases, only to unrecuse himself
    after he dumped some stock?

    He did this twice in 2014 and has done it NINE times since being on
    the court.

    He also referred to Matthew Hale 10 times, who was a 17th-century
    English legal scholar who was notoriously anti-woman. The marital rape exemption traces back to Hale along with instruction to jurors to be
    skeptical of reports of rape.

    We are all so focused on Thomas that the biggest danger lies with
    Alito.

    The most interesting thing to happen in the past couple of years is the
    gradual revelation of what a bunch of shitsacks most SCOTUS justices
    are. Unaccountable, vaguely political, and probably corrupt.

    Imagine clearing the court and starting over.

    It seems those Catholics are defending their religion's precepts.
