IS SAMUEL ALITO THE BIGGEST SLEAZEBAG ON THE SUPREME COURT? A BRIEF INVESTIGATION
Sam Alito is a partisan hack who had to use a 17th Century witch hunter to justify the overturing of Roe v. Wade.

“If there’s a Black Santa at the other end of the mall and he doesn’t want to have his picture taken with a child who’s dressed up in a Ku Klux Klan outfit, that Black Santa [can’t refuse] that?” Alito asked. In fact, Colorado solicitor general Eric Olson responded, that’s nota actually the case: a Black Santa can already refuse to pose with someone wearing a KKK outfit, since Ku Klux Klan outfits “are not protected characteristics under public accommodation laws,” while things like gender identity and sexual orientation are. Hence, why Smith’s refusal violates Colorado’s anti-discrimination laws, while Alito’s one with the Black Santa and KKK getups do not. Justice Elena Kagan then noted, for the right-wingers in the group, that Santa could refuse to pose with anyone wearing a KKK outfit, whether they were white, Black, or a member of any other protected group. To which Alito snarkily interjected, “You do see a lot of Black children in Ku Klux Klan outfits, right? All the time.” Later, he insisted on returning to the scenario that he clearly thought was a major owning of the libs. “Now back to my Black Santa example,” he said.
But it was arguably Alito’s earlier comments, wherein he joked that Kagan could be intimately familiar with a website that facilitates affairs, that put him in the running for Biggest Sleazebag on the Supreme Court. Bringing up another hypothetical scenario—in this case, one in which a Jewish person asks a photographer to take a photo for his JDate account—Alito described the website as “a dating service, I gather, for Jewish people.” Kagan, who is the sole Jewish justice on the court, then confirmed that her colleague was correct in his assessment, which drew laughter from the crowd. Fine, a nice little bit of collegial repartee. But then this happened:

To be clear, that’s Alito joking that Kagan might know all about Ashley Madison, a website exclusively designed to help people in relationships cheat on their partners.
All of this comes, of course, just months after Alito authored the opinion to overturn Roe v. Wade, an opinion in which he approvingly cited the work of a 17th century jurist who supported marital rape and had women executed for “witchcraft.” Which he then followed up by telling stand-up jokes about having had taken away millions of people’s rights. Still, it’s hard to say, definitively, whether Alito is the worst of the worst when he’s got coworkers who think it’s fine for their unhinged spouses to try and get free and fair elections overturned; who reportedly belong to a secretive religious group that considers “women’s obedience and subservience to men as one of its central early teachings”; and have been accused of attempted rape (which they deny). But you could certainly argue that he is!

are gone.. that the USA is able to get Real Judges on the SCOTUS.. and not anymore Fascist FUCKS. 
Apparently he knows all about the Ashley Madison website. Apparently thinks stories about kids wearing KKK outfits to visit Santa Claus are funny. It seems he's done a lot of research into women accused of witchcraft, and cases concerning marital rape too. And he's happy to make snide comments about his female co-workers on the record.
What's his problem anyway?

Mister super right wing Roman Catholic secret society US Supreme Court Justice seems to fancy himself a Medieval cardinal, not a secular judge in 21st century America.
Being so devout and all, I’m sure he believes in Hell, but in his sheer arrogance he thinks no limits apply to him. Dante envisioned a place in Hell for corrupt judges and corrupt priests. Alito — might want to think that over, but I seriously doubt he will.
ETA: went looking for Dante’s punishments and stumbled on a Law journal from this century that referenced the old poet. It rather delighted me to see it.
