Sam Alito Says Criticism of Supreme Court Is 'Unfair': 'Practically Nobody Is Defending Us'

[LetMyPeopleVote]

1. Boo Hoo

[JanLip]

7. Yea

He can cry me a river

Jan 😭

[calimary]

49. And me. Cry me a river, you over-privileged arrogant schmuck.

Feel sorry for your miserable widdle self. Or better yet, why not resign? Do Amerian a favor, and a REAL service? Do it voluntarily so we don’t have to figure out a way to TAKE IT from you, haughty miserable BASTARD.

Your “good old days” when nobody looked and nobody questioned and nobody cared that much and you could be king - are GONE.

GONE FOR GOOD.

[JanLip]

64. You know

He is a little arrogant isn’t he. Change that. He is arrogant. Where do these people get off thinking they are superior. Trump, MTG, DeSantis, Abbott, Alito, BoBo, and their ilk. My momma told me I was just as important as anyone. Those people need to come down off their high horse.

Jan

[calimary]

81. I'd actually like to see him taken OFF his high horse.

[JanLip]

83. LOL

[Hortensis]

2. Thoughts and prayers.

[Amaryllis]

46. you beat me to it!

[calimary]

50. OUCH!

Best comment yet, Hortensis!

[brush]

5. Now you're talking.

[SouthernDem4ever]

70. +1

[H2O Man]

4. Recommended.

I think it more a case of individual Injustices getting hammered, rather than the court as an institution, by the public. It is those Injustices that are harming the court's reputation.

8. "Father, take this cup from me."

[niyad]

10. May he, and his enablers, receive everything they deserve.

I spare him plenty of thoughts, most of which would, if articulated, net me a visit from the suits.

[TheBlackAdder]

53. Perhaps the issue is most can not or will not try to defend the indefensible.

[asiliveandbreathe]

11. Misdirect again??? didn't he do this when the Dobbs decision was aired b4 its

time?? Look over here..someone leaked the Dobbs decision..look over here, unfair criticism!

Get a real job Alito..you are fired!!!!!!

[kimbutgar]

12. If his feelings are so hurt maybe he needs to quit the Supreme Court so he won't get anymore

Criticisms he doesn’t like!

[iscooterliberally]

13. He lied under oath to get the job in the first place.

Either the senate confirmation hearings are a total joke, or this guy should be terminated from his job because he lied under oath. If he wants the criticism to stop, all he has to do is resign and go the fuck away.

[nuxvomica]

14. So not all instances are unfair hammering?

I find it interesting when people sort of subtly admit -- via a highly qualified, weaselly response -- some truth even when they don't think they are admitting it. My followup would be: "You said 'a lot,' not 'all', so in which instances are you being fairly hammered?" I realize I'm using a level of textual analysis that Justice Alito might not be capable of understanding.

[Marthe48]

15. Who defends the indefensible?

Not over 70% of Americans who want this guy to f**k off. Retire, you fascist p.o.s. You brought this on yourself, thinking that there were more misogynists who wanted to torture and kill women. You were the worst of the worst that were shoved onto the (formerly) s.c.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

25. Murdock...every hour. And Murdocks flagship newspaper is where Alito ran to...message received!

[The Jungle 1]

16. The SC is an open sewer.

[bluesbassman]

17. Respect is earned MFer.

You and your co-conspirators have done NOTHING to earn it. You should be grateful you’re all just being figuratively tarred and feathered.

[Botany]

18. Now why would anybody have any qustions about the court

FBI Director Confirms Agency Sent Tips from Kavanaugh Tip Line to Trump White House Without Investigation
Trump White House also determined which witnesses the FBI should interview. 4,500 tips to FBI went uninvestigated.

Washington, DC – In a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, U.S. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) today received confirmation from FBI Director Christopher Wray that the FBI sent tips that the agency had collected about Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh to the Trump White House without investigation. The tips were collected through the FBI’s existing tip line as part of a supplemental background investigation after allegations of sexual misconduct emerged during Justice Kavanaugh’s 2018 confirmation process. Wray also confirmed that the Trump White House directed which witnesses the FBI was permitted to interview.

“You reviewed them for purposes of separating from tip line traffic but did not further investigate the ones that related to Kavanaugh, correct?” Whitehouse asked in reference to the more than 4,500 tips collected by the FBI.

Director Wray responded, “Correct.”

19. That is so, so very sad

He is part of an overlooked and under appreciated minority - the rich and powerful.

[sheshe2]

20. 🥲

[JanLip]

65. Good one

[sheshe2]

72. I love the violin gifs! 🤣🤣

[mgardener]

21. Hard to defend

The indefensible.

We expect those selected to serve the people of the US, in the highest court of the US to have high moral and ethical standards.
Sadly, this court has demonstrated that those standards are lacking.

[milestogo]

22. ...

[Goonch]

23. 👇👇👇👁️👁️

[MurrayDelph]

24. "We are being hammered daily"?

I thought Kavanaugh looked being hammered.

[Bo Zarts]

26. T&P

[3catwoman3]

27. "And nobody, practically nobody, is defending us."

Gee, Sammie, why ever might that be?

[KS Toronado]

42. So he's calling FQX noise as "practically nobody"?

[hay rick]

28. Sammy, if nobody is defending you it might be time for a little self-reflection.

The *funny* thing is, a lot of the people who are happy with Sammy's alt-right-pseudoChristian-authoritarian agenda are also very happy to quietly reap the benefit and let Sammy take all the heat.

[notinkansas]

29. Pile on people with much more of the same.

How could we not when someone is so deserving of the verbal abuse.

[usaf-vet]

30. Alito is a loudmouth, delusional fool. Why should anyone defend the court's conservative behavior?

The court should be protecting the RIGHTS of all Americans. Instead, it attacks those who won't drink their poison cool-aid.

[The Wizard]

31. I sincerely offer

thoughts and prayers

[airplaneman]

52. I'll offer Tots and Pears. That's Tater Tots and Bartlett pears. n/t.

[Demsrule86]

32. Boo Hoo...resign you corrupt POS.

[bronxiteforever]

33. K&R. Alito is as thin skinned as Desantis.

And as petty too.

[llmart]

34. There's a reason nobody is defending you.

It's because the things that have been done by some of the court (we all know who) are absolutely and unequivocally indefensible.

I thought after the Gore v Bush fiasco I could never see the Supreme Court in the same light again. I thought that was the lowest of the low, but these days and this court - well, I just have no words. They have no business being on the highest court in the land.

[Martin68]

35. If no one is defending you, you are probably in the wrong. Of course, that wouldn't occur to a

conservative Supreme Court judge. The arrogance alone disqualifies this judge from siting on the bench of our highest court.

[SYFROYH]

36. Welcome to democracy, fuckface.

[Maeve]

37. If it's that rough, he can always quit--take his ball and go home

[Hermit-The-Prog]

38. Piss on Alito and all the Subversive Christofascists Of The U.S.

We no longer have a Supreme Court to interpret law and precedent; we have Subversive Christofascists warping law and ignoring precedent to promote their extremist ideology.

[Marcuse]

39. Electron Microscopy

[LittleGirl]

40. Then Quit you mf! Boo freaking hoo. nt

[Joinfortmill]

41. We've only just begun. Time to expand the SCOTUS and Investigations coming.

[Magoo48]

43. Then, be honest and don't be a dick.

Shit will get better.

[dalton99a]

44. Lying, murderous, traitorous scumbag.

[Meadowoak]

45. What an ugly man, inside and out. No wonder he is so filled with hate.

[Warpy]

47. Thought? Pfffft!

If I could see well enough, I'd be making him a Grand Inquisitor suit, bright red, complete with funny hat. It would suit him much more than those boring old black robes do.

[IronLionZion]

48. Alito and Thomas should resign in protest

since we're being so mean to them.

[Omnipresent]

54. Can't take it anymore?

Then resign, you useless pos!

[FakeNoose]

55. Thoughts and Prayers for Sam Alito

[Paper Roses]

56. No wonder I have heartburn!

[czarjak]

57. Thanks, W.

[Raven123]

58. Why defend the indefensible?

[Demovictory9]

59. ..

[NNadir]

60. Well Sammy it's hard to defend anyone citing 16th century cult...

...writers in an issue of American law, specifically the 14th amendment.

[Skittles]

62. so let me get this straight

Alito is appalled because the very repuke whores he pimps for really don't step up to the plate to defend his sorry ass because they are also supreme hypocrites who try to whitewash their extreme positions?

[Prairie_Seagull]

63. So Sam in your mind, the laws of our nation are living documents but-

the Constitution is not. OK hmmmm

[liberaltrucker]

66. Thoughts and prayers, Sammy

[tavernier]

67. Beautifully put, Earl.

Bravo.

[BootinUp]

68. F U Sam. Nt

[SouthernDem4ever]

71. Take it to church Sam

Pray for an early rapture.

[treestar]

73. He doesn't need defense - he has the power he has

and he used it.

Maybe his ego needs defense.

[JohnnyRingo]

74. And there's the Clarion Call to Fox News.

This week defending the worst members of the Supreme Court will be the focus of The Five and Sean Hannity. Paging Alan Dershowitz.

[SWBTATTReg]

75. Talk about living in a bubble. Do you not realize how the majority of most Americans live, eat,

sleep, whatever? If you are so daft, why are you in such a position ruling on laws of the land, when you don't even know how we, on the 'outside', live?

We should start calling you 'bubble boy'...you don't deserve any other respect since you don't respect us.

[ShazzieB]

76. Oh, please, Alitio,, you big freaking baby!

Stop with the freaking



Just STOP.

[msfiddlestix]

79. I remember when this extremist scumbag was nominated and how most of us who knew what he was about

Last edited Mon May 1, 2023, 07:42 PM - Edit history (1)

how hard we fought to keep him from being confirmed.

we knew who and what the fuck he is and would always be.

[ecstatic]

80. This is interesting. I know he doesn't give two shits about what Democrats say

So the criticism must be coming from his "owners" or groups that he cares about--right wing mega donors or something.

Either way, he'll get no coddling from me. Sorry alito, we're not going to be silent when a corrupt court full of bought and paid for liars turns its back on basic human rights. You are an asshole and a blind fool.

[bluestarone]

82. Hey alito, please take your 4 friends and go to AREA 51,and

Take the next flight out!!

[mcar]

84. Aw, poor Sammy

[Chili Pepper]

86. Hey Sam

There's a reason why nobody’s defending you.

If you can’t figure out why, then apparently you’re not as smart as you think you are.

And are astonishingly clueless

[Jarqui]

87. Their behavior shouldn't need defending. It should be beyond reproach.

It is insulting for him to insinuate otherwise.
It underscores why he is either too stupid or too full of himself to serve in such a role.

The fact that they won't do anything about it is incriminating.

[CentralMass]

88. Aw gee.

[Aussie105]

89. It is all very confusion to Sam.

There he is, with his buddies . . . the Supreme Court!

Source of all that is wise, all that is good for you, all that is good for the country.
Overlooking the USA like the founding fathers intended!

So why aren't people smiling and nodding their heads in agreement?

So, so unfair!

But I guess . . . when you are flying that high, oxygen deprivation does funny things to your mind.
Come down to earth, Sam!

[ck4829]

90. Very sad
