Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito was taken to a hospital after becoming ill last month at a Federalist Society dinner in Philadelphia, according to people with knowledge of the March 20 incident. https://cnn.it/4vaNP6k

Think he’s already signaled he’s retiring at the end of this term with his book scheduled for release next October. No way he’s gonna risk staying around for a Dem Senate to confirm replacement.

That's a big reason why I begged all the reluctant folks to be less reluctant. We may have another 30-40 years of 6-3 conservative SCOTUS (barring expansion, of course)

Hope he lasts at least another 9 months or so. Would be bad if he kicked before Dems could take back The Senate. After that, he can go straight to the eternal darkness he deserves.

Well at least it was Philly with some of the best hospitals anywhere. We don't want him to croak & give Shitler the opportunity to appoint a young misogynistic christofascist.

Dems cannot figure out why we keep losing but they never pay heed to all the great suggestions we provide. Grow a backbone, say no + take action. No more strongly worded letters. Promote + Listen to YOUNG ppl w/energy. I'm 75 + Schumer + Jeffries combined less energy than I. We are so over them!

Even if Alito shuffles off this mortal coil in time for the current Senate to consider his replacement, this won't have the impact that RBG did because it'll just be replacing one far-right asshole with another, likely less-competent one. There's no practical way Trump could top Thomas or Alito.

Although I agree if Alito kicks the bucket, it won't change current lineup of do gooders and evil doers. BUT I'm so sure there are many many who could top Thomas or Alito. Alina Habawhatev, for example. And some actually smart ones. I know, SAUER! Gotta learn if Indigenous kids are citizens.😱😬🙄

I guess it's a valid concern that Dumb Donnie might nominate some dipshit like Sauer. Habba would be a gift, because the other con justices would realize she has a room-temp IQ (in Celsius) and sideline her. Maybe someone like Aileen Pick-me Cannon, who sorta knows how to be a judge?

You'd think people in government would want their reputation to be beyong reproach... We need serious rules and guidelines for people who serve the American people, fucking federalist society are you fucking kidding me.
