    It’s pretty absurd that Alito can’t even get his fuckin’ story straight.

      If he weren’t a judge, one whiff of this would be enough to eliminate him from any jury in the country. Just on the basis of craziness and bad judgement, he should resign.

    The SCOTUS is consistently demonstrating that they are political actors and illegitimate as jurists.

    We should pack the court with ethical peoe until the corruption is under 10%. If that means 20 jurists… So be it.

    I’ve had enough and now stare decisis can’t be defended. Not when corruption is making decisions AND overriding previous well decided decisions.

    Is it me, or is the headline misleading? This article doesnt challenge Alito’s timeline, it confirms it.

      The headline doesn’t challenge Alito’s timeline. How is it misleading? It adequately summarizes the core of the article:

      • The Alitos fly upside-down US flag.
      • Neighbors report rude behavior from Martha-Ann Alito.

        But the neighbors had signs up before the flag, which they could claim it was in response to. Claim is of course the key word.
