Alito is fear-mongoring, like a good little GOP lickspittle.

His statement to the WSJ 2 weeks ago saying he has a pretty good idea who leaked the Dobbs ruling but can't prove it - is nothing but rumor, gossip, fear mongoring, CT.

https://www.wsj.com/articles/justice-samuel-alito-this-made-us-targets-of-assassination-dobbs-leak-abortion-court-74624ef9

If he knew who did it, he should say the name. He doesn't. This is just stoking the base, trying to turn the public opinion against the court toward sympathy saying it made them all targets. Dobbs forged the public opinion, not the leak. Dobbs will kill women, not the leak about it. He wrote the Dobbs opinion. It will be his forever.

Gossip, fear mongoring, propaganda, CT is unbefitting a SCOTUS judge, Sammy. One more on the list of your vile acts.

I have no pearls to clutch as a progressive. I sold them to pay for eggs.

Alito is clamoring for attention again. He could quit the SC and get a show on Fox, I'm sure they would pay him millions. And he could spend each week night railing against anyone who isn't a white, straight Christian male.

As a way to cover up, deflect, confuse.

So we are supposed to feel sorry for the Supreme Court criminal enterprise.
When they have superb tax payer funded security unlike 6 y/o sitting in a
classroom.

Most sane thoughtful folks know he did it. Would be nice if some reporters would just confront him instead of just letting him spout whatever crap he's pushing at the moment.

Another right wing empty suit voted in by right wing republicans. Another incompetent fool like Clarence.

They are smart enough to get a great deal.
Lie and cheat their way to lifetime high paying job.
Absolutely no rules or ethics.

Commit any crime they like and get off scot free.
And rake in $millions in bribes.

When the American people get angry at the SC
they insist on top of the line security paid for by the
taxpayers.
