Just when one thinks it can’t get any worse, Extreme Court unJustice (Uncle) Sam Alito got caught on tape saying what we all have known for years: He has an agenda and uses his position as a Supreme Court Justice to implement it.
At the Supreme Court Historical Society’s annual dinner on June 3, a function that is known to right-wing activists as an opportunity to buttonhole Supreme Court justices, Uncle Sam candidly spoke to liberal documentary filmmaker, Lauren Windsor. Although Ms. Lindsor paid to attend this event using her real name, she asked questions to Uncle Sam that would indicate she was a religious conservative. Uncle Sam didn’t quite figure it out; it went over his pointy head.
“I think you’re probably right,” Alito replies. “On one side or the other — one side or the other is going to win. I don’t know. I mean, there can be a way of working — a way of living together peacefully, but it’s difficult, you know, because there are differences on fundamental things that really can’t be compromised. They really can’t be compromised. So it’s not like you are going to split the difference.”
Windsor goes on to tell Alito: “People in this country who believe in God have got to keep fighting for that — to return our country to a place of godliness.”
“I agree with you. I agree with you,” replies Alito, who authored the Supreme Court’s 2022 Dobbs decision, which reversed five decades of settled law and ended a constitutional right to abortion.
