Morning Joe shocked by delight Alito took in 'radical' ruling taking away abortion rights

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough was astonished by the "violence" implied by the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that overturned abortion rights.

The majority opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito took a confrontational tone in striking down Roe v. Wade, and the "Morning Joe" host said he and his fellow lawyer friends noticed the delight he seemed to take in the "radical" move.

"That is one thing that friends of mine, pro-life friends of mine, conservative lawyers of mine, and others underlie, it wasn't just the holding taking away a fundamental right over the past 50 years," Scarborough said. "They found the tone to be confrontational, and anyone who has followed the Supreme Court, anyone who has read constitutional law knows that most justices, especially in landmark decisions, bend over backwards to explain how this is not a radical move, this is -- we are moving forward, and we're moving in the direction that this country has been moving in, and we are understand there are problems, and they'll round off some of the harsher edges. They will give something to their opponents, their legal or ideological opponents."

"There was none of that there," Scarborough added. "I've got to say, more than any Supreme Court decision I've ever read, it was -- even the language, there was a violence to the reasoning. We win, you lose. We're taking away these rights, and there's nothing you can do about it. Please, if somebody disagrees with me, please let me know where a court has overruled a right that's been in place for 50 years and done so in such an aggressive manner with absolutely no grace and absolutely no outreach to their legal or ideological opponents."

1. Tell me Alito is an asshole

Without saying Alito is an asshole.

2. The court flexed its muscle show us they will do whatever the fuck they want,

& also let us know what else is in store. Some of the meanest, nastiest humans have almost captured control of our government. Their side is highly motivated to vote this year. Is ours? Will the abortion rage have worn off by mid-October/early-November?

4. If this were the reverse you just know that the right would have them

Screaming their way to the November election. From what I've seen so far, it's like a sternly worded letter has been written to express their disapproval.

3. Like he finally exploded after saving up 50 years of hate for women

5. This is a petty man

who everyone hated in college. He hated the sixties and was the snitch in the dorms on kid's who smoked pot. He was a virgin until he was married and hated all the "free love" that everyone else was engaged in at the time.
Thomas is the same way. They both have a grudge against modern society.

On the other hand we have Kavanaugh who sticks his manhood in a woman's face. What kind of weirdo does that?

Finally, Barrett is a cult member. Anyone who has to asked her cult if her husband in acceptable for marriage is a wackadoo.

6. Fascist see. Fascist do.

Know your BFEE: Alito is just another word for Mussolini

7. He was foolish enough to think being conservative was the same thing as

having (his version) of integrity. So many former republicans were fooled into believing their conservative viewpoints did not include white nationalistic
talking points or authoritarian views. How obvious could it have been?

Some will vote for democrats but not enough (I’ll still take a stay at home ‘vote.’ Hopeless are those idiots who know republicans and their ‘policies’ are wrong but will vote for them again because democrats are worse.

8. Alito is a pathological misogynist.

He didn’t even want women admitted to Princeton. He believes in the patriarchy and sees women as chattel and property.

He is a vile person filled with hatred for women.

9. 'a violence to the reasoning"

Line of the month. Perhaps the year, pending future events as 2022 winds its way towards a conclusion.

10. I read the earlier draft and it was really arrogant

This is not the normal procedure for overturning established law
