Uh oh, his wife is going to break out her Traitor flags, and the post will bury the story again. www.axios.com/2024/05/27/s...

Man would have let it happen 24 hours before the election and just shrugged and smiled when catastrophic effects happened

I think you may have come up with a great toy idea.

VERGONIA!

Definitely Catholic jurists but probably Italians also. Scalia was bad enough but Alito is straight christofascist.

It does feel like Alito is just baiting the federal courts blogging corp to respond.

Preventing non-existent voter fraud is more important than counting legitimate votes.

Great article!

Someone should Photoshop the hot dog costume on this photo.

"I take it seriously, but in the sense that I think it's good"

Justice Stephen A. Smith

I'm not a racist, BUT

When Alito writes "the Executive's goals" he's adopting Trump's POV Which is "I Trump am always already simultaneously the king of kings and the True Victim" That that's anti-constitutional doesn't seem to bother Alito at all

Not only are the equities not comparable, the assumptions are not grounded in any objective reality. This is law copied straight off the inside of a Latrine wall

Samuel Alito is anti-democracy, a fascist, a major threat to our country and needs to be dealt with. Dealt with as in the Surpreme Court needs to have more judges on it, he needs to be impeached from the court, or there needs to be term limits. Democrats-this is the first thing we need to do.

A better solution is to expand the court.

Supreme Court Justices should be subject to the popular vote of the American people, not appointed. We vote for judges in our local elections.

SCOTUS Style Note: Closing up section signs (and, I would guess, pilcrows) but insisting on a space after periods, come hither or yon, is prima facie indefensible.

You can see clearly he wants that gravy train he’s riding to go on forever. He belongs behind bars …not on the nations highest court.

Are you sure that Trump didn’t write that sentence?

Dems need to stop disagreeing with the results and start attacking the authors, because this is madness (Several of them have shown to be vulnerable to bullying anyway)

This is the same flag raising idiot who blamed his wife for the flag. He is supposed to be unbiased, yet accepts bribes to vote a certain way. All SC crooked jerks should resign.

Better 1000 legal voters not vote than 1 illegal voter vote.

Alito and Thomas need to be removed as quickly as possible from SCOTU for it to have any chance of regaining legitimacy. For two such corrupt individuals to be on a Supreme Court anywhere, let alone the country claiming to be the land of the free is a sick joke.

He needs to be removed. He's a danger to the Constitution and Americans.

"We've chosen to be scared of something that when smashed the way we desire gives us more political power, so we're shoving ahead on it."

Surprise myocardial infarction fucking when???

At some point, Samuel Alito lost himself in the seventeenth century and never found his way back.

"Purcell is very important. Except when it's inconvenient for Republicans."

If clarence and sam retired at the beginning of taco's 2nd term, we'd have two new younger uber corrupt judges who fail to abide by the rule of law. Not so sure he'd have the votes now. Having a glass half full kinda day.

"a right wing podcaster in a robe" [chef's kiss]

"legally irrelevant" wow. Even for Scalito this is nutty.

Alito is the greatest salesman for anarchism since King Leopold.

Samuel Alito is a traitor to the Constitution

Alito and Thomas (and their very nutty wives) are full-fledged members of the MAGA treason cult They HATE democracy and LOVE child-rape, so they are ALL IN for Daddy Trump

He’s lost his f’n mind. Brain is cooked.

Alito is basically a man standing on the street corner with food in his hair shouting at passing cars about voting machines. Making him a Supreme Court justice was like going up to the man on the corner and saying, “Hey, would you watch my kids while I’m away for the weekend?”

The fucker is delulu

He's in the Epstein files

I am not an expert here, but even if some level of voter fraud was real (I know it’s not), wouldn’t the solution need to be more narrowly tailored than “throw out entire batches of thousands of votes because we found one problematic one”?

I'd prefer jail, but would settle for disbarment.

A most apt description.

When a supreme court justice says that disenfranchising millions of voters is legally irrelevant, he is telling us that democracy is legally irrelevant. Impeach him.

Did Martha Ann write this opinion?

Gerrymandering - No Worries Mail in voting - FRAUD‼️

there can’t be any fraud if we just stop with all the voting!

Horrific. Heil Shitler.

Alito is an iron fisted authoritarian.

He lives in a evidence-free zone.

Something about a baby and some bathwater...

Nevermind that every time the claims of the 2020 election being “stolen” have been investigated, It’s been proven unfounded, Trump has a history of lying about these things, and did an insurrection. This is bulldozing the bank incase someone might rob it.

If term/age limits aren't applied, at least require mental cognition tests. Alito has completely forgotten there is a US Constitution.

US voter fraud is 0000845% and no election outcome in the US has ever been altered by ballot fraud. bsky.app/profile/jayw...

I don't see that quote in the opinion.

I don't think I realized until Trump became president how truly nuts Alito is. At least Thomas has the good sense to keep quiet most of the time.

I seriously believe that Thomas and Alito would rule that he has the authority to kill the first born male child in every household. Insane.

There is no voting fraud, there is corruption fraud by you and yours

He's at the bottom of the rabbit hole

VERGOGNA, ALITO

alito's dissent may be the most disingenuous text i've ever read

I am stunned that this shocks me. Nothing should shock me anymore, but every day something does.

If Alito would like to accompany me to a polling place he can see for himself that THERE IS NO VOTER FRAUD. But that would disrupt little Sammy’s preconceived notions. Poor baby.

Intolerable ignorance of the facts, Intolerable value system, Intolerable remedy regimen.

Create a circuit just for Alaska and make that motherfucker ride it in November - April exclusively.

Do they ever have evidence to support their claims?

“Voter fraud” = POC voting

We need to keep reminding everyone that Alito and the other right wing justices have brains that are just as cooked as the worst racist drunk uncles who have been watching fox news for decades.

Not insane at all, certainly not "genuinely." It's part of a strategy.

My late cousin, C.J. Warren Burger must be cheering from his grave. I’m pretty sure I can hear him. He made Richard Nixon turn over the tapes…he could not abide by a dishonorable President. You should take a lesson from his legacy.

The 2nd Amendment is sacrosanct, no matter how many children are killed by guns. But the flimsiest claim of nonexistent voter fraud is enough to wreck elections whenever that guy we gave immunity says so.

These people flat out don't value democracy

The fact that this man is a Phillies fan will forever bring shame to Philadelphia

Don't sleep on reading the cites pages from Dalton v. Specter and then looking back to what Alito claims they sat

Those robes, they are white

One of the evilest to ever do it

it’s the enlarged amygdala these right wing loons have, it makes them extremely aggressive, paranoid, and prone to conspiratorial delusions

Mr Alito doesn't have the braincells to work out this is in fact a form of voter fraud.

As if there can never be fraud with in person voting. Ever heard of boxes of ballots found in car trunks? Polling stations being closed or moved? Who will have the right to determine someone’s ID doesn’t look like them or looks fake?

Trying to lock down worst Justice ever.

The confederacy won. It’s not any more insane than how the confederacy was created, frankly.

This is what we waited for? Glad to see they got nothing.

Does this logic apply to guns killing kids.

the most corrupt court in the world

Right. But STOP PUTTING THING IN QUOTATION MARKS THAT PEOPLE DIDN’T SAY. Why is this so hard?

Alito and Thomas are terrified at a failed coup. As they should be. They are the must corrupt members of the court - and that’s saying something.

Pardon me while I hold up my [CITATION NEEDED] sign. If it's such a real and scary thing, prove it. Show me how major elections have been changed by it.

100% grounds for impeachment

On the one hand it's cool that one of the most powerful people in America gets to go "the vibes tell me we should end democracy," and on the other I'm making chicken saltimbocca and am busy

Thomas's advantage is his seniority, and his involvement in Bush v. Gore.

Has Alito asked if he can get a white robe?

I wonder if Alito was wearing his pointy white mask/hat while writing that. If you had a publicly-avowed white supremacist on the court, they'd be no worse than Alito. I'm not sure even Clarence Thomas is more of a white supremacist.

Alito watches Fox rather than reading law books. (Or at least his law clerks watch Fox).

These folks can’t help displaying just how unfit they are. Alito and Thomas are complete embarrassments and clearly pro fascism. #Unfir4Office Putting this stuff in writing makes clear that there is no pretense at protecting democracy. #JudicialReform

The brain has been melted for around 100 million Americans. And the melt will continue if the billionaires continue to have their way with tech and media.

Given an independent judiciary is one of the pillars of a functioning democracy (and that by 2016 the USA had already been downgraded to a “flawed democracy” in the Economist’s Democracy Index*) I suppose it’s now more than reasonable to conclude the USA no longer is one? *

"I take that problem very seriously" No, you don't.

It's worse than that. He doesn't believe this. It's an excuse to help the far-right stay in power.

And Sam’s all huffy because the states cited a “highly technical” part of the Postal Reorganization Act? What would he like the states to use, a McDonald’s menu? I begin to think we need to start labelling laws as “Important, everybody must follow”, “only matters to the other party” or “tl:dr”.

Also he's a flat out liar: he does not take the disenfranchisement even slightly seriously

Mr Alito is a connoisseur of the MAGA fringe Koolaid…🤦

He very obviously just stews in right wing agitprop

@elizabethbsf.bsky.social

And then you’ll slowly finish your drink. And order another. And finish that one. And the waiter with the evidence you ordered still hasn’t shown up—where the hell is he anyway?!?

What a corrupt sack of shit. Clown needs impeached.

It never matters to him that the postal service has no authority to do any of this. Their job is to deliver mail. More to the point: If they *interfere* with the mail in any way, they are committing a crime. Plus, people exhibiting such severe delusions should be immediately removed from office.

Thomas and Alito should be impeached. They make the supreme court supremely corrupt.

The more you look the less you see

to Alito - women and people of color voting must be the real fraud.. right???

My favorite was after 2020 when Republicans were saying - "Well, no need to go into the particulars - many voters are concerned about the legitimacy of our elections." And they kept harping on this but not getting to the core point -

Yeah, the whole game is to seed distrust in the public by lying about election fraud and then use that distrust as evidence supporting voter suppression laws. And meanwhile, voter fraud remains vanishingly rare because it's a *felony charge* for *zero gain*.

I posit a state interest in implementing broad and generous federal student loan forgiveness in order to better detect Bigfoot

The Government has no legitimate interest in implementing the rule. This is obviously a case where the "remedy" is worse than the problem it purports to address. When added to the unconstitutionality of the order, there is absolutely no basis for Alito's opinion.

He should be impeached, removed, and disbarred.

the right wing has been working to destroy democracy since the civil war ended, it's just the latest step. never mistake any of them as being good people or wanting any part of civil society to do anything besides serve them
