Alito Busted: No More Fooling Around!
Alito Busted: No More Fooling Around!
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has been lying in public for a long time. His attempt to blame his wife for flying an upside down American flag, a symbol of MAGA defiance, at his Virginia home shortly after the Jan. 6 insurrection is only the latest in a series of high-profile prevarications dating back to his 2006 Senate confirmation hearing.
Nominated to the Supreme Court by George W. Bush to replace the retiring Sandra Day O’Connor, Alito’s confirmation was all but guaranteed as Republicans held a 55-seat majority in the upper chamber. Yet despite taking an oath to tell “the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth” on day one of the four-...

Sharon is from a very urban environment in the Bronx, NY. The couple is also from two different socio-economic backgrounds. Bot...

      These two commentators don’t understand that most people don’t think about race all of the time. African-Americans have the same concerns that every other American has before thinking about race. These 2 just think about Reese all the time, but most people don’t live like that. We are multi ethnic society and Trump talks about concerns that affect the greatest amount of the population, including the majority of African-Americans. Disgusting The just called him all kinds of names, some of them really disgusting like white supremacist. They were so focused name-calling Trump they missed his real message. It’s a shame it could’ve been a really good conversation.

      @specter7-1977 19 дней назад

      It’s actually kind of easy, despite these guys calling Trump all kinds of disparaging names, his rhetoric, and definitely his actions do not lead voters to believe that. By saying he is a white supremacist or any of the other horrible things they call him does not make it so. Trump is a populist, despite these two wanting to be more segregated from larger society many blacks live, work, and function with the larger society then just a black society. I hope I articulated that correctly. Being a populist, Trump talks to the whole population of the United States. Biden and the Democrats segregate people into groups and try to pander to each and every group. The segregation tactic works on building a very loyal base, but not for the long term. As people start to integrate the Democratic Party narratives don’t hold up well.

    From a broader geopolitical perspective, it seems unfair that Israel can't just "get away with it". Any study of world history shows that there is only one expected outcome when you have two very disparate people that think they have a right to the same land - one of them gets the land, and the other one dies.

    "Originalism?" Show me where the Constitution gives any rights to corporations? The right-wing Supremes have been on their way to granting full citizenship rights to corporations for 30 yrs. Citizens United was just a big step on a trajectory that leads to granting them the right to vote....balance out all those undesirable votes they see coming as the country moves left. This effort was overtaken by the fundamentalist Catholic theocracy movement every one of those Republican appointees belongs to. It's all a fraud--ignoring the 1st Amendment's separation of church and state, ignoring their own supposed beliefs in Originalism to come to wholly political decisions. If they want to overturn something created by the Courts, they tout democracy and say it's a matter for the legislature. If it's an act of Congress, they come to another point to overturn it...don't you know we don't have racism any more? We don't need no Voting Rights Act. When it's the right to privacy and they want to take away abortion rights because their religious sensibilities want women barefoot, pregnant and in the kitchen, they say it's states rights. But being that they were chosen NOT for their great minds, but rather for their small-minded religious beliefs and political ambitions, their reasoning is obvious to most everyone who sees it. They fool no one. And their approval ratings sit at the levels sustained by fellow fundamentalist Catholics (Fewer than 18% of Americans are any kind of Catholic at any time in their lives. And only a portion of these share fundamentalist views. Some Evangelicals support them, not knowing Protestants have been excluded from the Catholic takeover of the Supreme Court. The media was complicit in this effort, btw. Even MSNBC cancels Lawrence Tribe, going to commercials in the middle of a sentence when he tried to inform people what was going on...when they returned to Last Word With Lawrence O'Donnell, Tribe was gone, new subject. He returned to promote his "pet project" the following week. Paying him off for what they did, but shutting him up! And the Supreme Court continues on its way to "Making this a Christian (Catholics in charge, promising to protect Protestants...so long as they stay in their churches...5 male Justices, all members of Opus Dei.) Country Again." Which they know it never was but if people are stupid enough to buy the line, they will feed it to them. Like any single-minded political autocrat, they will will say and do anything to amass power. Weaken others.
