Here's am interesting article about Allito's "white man anger".

Opinion | Samuel Alito: One Angry Man
. . .
Instead, Alito’s anger consistently sounds in a register of cultural decline, bemoaning the growing prominence of women and minorities in American life. Writing the majority opinion in Hobby Lobby, which endorsed a company’s right to deny employees contraception coverage, Alito waxed lyrically about the “men and women who wish to run their businesses as for-profit corporations in the manner required by their religious beliefs.” The women denied medical care that facilitates participation in the labor market, in contrast, weren’t a concern. Examining a Washington state regulation of pharmacists, Alito was quick to detect “hostility” to conservative religious beliefs. And in an opinion repudiating New Haven’s effort to promote more Black firefighters, Alito alone trawled the history of the case to complain about the role played by a Black pastor who was an ally of the city’s mayor and had “threatened a race riot.” Black involvement in municipal politics, for Alito, appears as a sinister threat to public order.

But, revenge is usually borne from an injury to one’s body or psyche. I wonder what his injury was…but at the same time, I have no desire to read anything about that nasty guy.

He seems threatened by everything.

whose goal was to limit involvement of women and minorities, particularly women at the university. It came up at his confirmation hearings. Sen. Ted Kennedy humiliated him for his involvement with this group, but the GZP made Kennedy the issue and Sammy skated.

scum justices like that. And it's all due to the worse president we've ever had (3 appointed justice, including Gorsuck), and that's saying something after having experience W Bush.

Gorsuck, Beer Boy, and the Handmaid, what a grouping added to Uncle Clarence, 16th century man Alito, and Roberts, nominally the chief justice, but who is ignored by the by the previously mention American Taliban 5.
