Samuel and Martha-Ann Alito

Thursday 2nd of October 2025

Abortion Stare decisis,  the doctrine on which Casey's controlling opinion was based, does not compel adherence to Roe's abuse of judicial authority. Roe was egregiously wrong from the start. Its reasoning was exceptionally weak, and the decision has had damaging consequences. And far from bringing about a national settlement of the abortion issue, Roe and Casey have enflamed debate and deepened division. It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people's elected representatives.

Abortion We hold that Roe [v. Wade] and [Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pa. v. ] Casey must be overruled.  The Constitution makes no reference to abortion, and no such right is implicitly protected by any constitutional provision, including the one on which the defenders of Roe and Casey now chiefly rely — the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. That provision has been held to guarantee some rights that are not mentioned in the Constitution, but any such right must be “deeply rooted in this Nation's history and tradition” and “implicit in the concept of ordered liberty.” Washington v.

Bullshitters say And to ensure that our decision is not misunderstood or mischarcaterized, we emphasize that our decision concerns the constitutional right to abortion and no other right. Nothing in this opinion should be understood to cast doubt on precedents that do not concern abortion.

Christian nationalists say One side or the other is going to win. 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. Samuel Alito, announcing that, despite his role as a sworn-to-be-impartial judge, he is uncompromisingly committed to ensuring that Supreme Court rulings push the nation in the direction of “godliness” as defined by the Catholic church and Christian nationalists © 2024 Kwiple.com

Presidential immunity from criminal prosecution The way we shield our liberties from the threat of a tyrant is to make men obey the law, not place them above it. We chain the power of those who hold office; we don’t unleash it for them to use at their discretion. We don't extend every privilege and immunity we can imagine: we deny them and demand responsibility. I have a feeling that Alito and his fellow travelers on the court would understand this simple point if the president in question were an opponent and not an ally. As it stands, at least a few justices on the Supreme Court would rather shatter a bedrock principle of American democracy than let Trump face the consequences of his own actions. Jamelle Bouie.

And there will be a way — it doesn’t have to be now — but there will be a way, they will know. Don’t worry about it.

Supreme Court But we cannot exceed the scope of our authority under the Constitution, and we cannot allow our decisions to be affected by any extraneous infuences such as concern about the public's reaction to our work. Samuel Alito, February 10, 2022, initial draft of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v Wade , expessing the Court's conservative majority's let-me-kiss-your-ring subserviance to the religious conservatives who make up the base of the Republlican Party that got them appointed to the Court, and its go-fuck-yourself disdain for others, including the vast majority of Americans who don't want Roe v. Wade overturned  © 2022 Kwiple.com
Trumpism An upside-down flag, adopted by Trump supporters contesting the Biden victory, flew over the justice’s front lawn as the Supreme Court was considering an election case. … Judicial experts said in interviews that  the flag was a clear violation of ethics rules, which seek to avoid even the appearance of bias, and could sow doubt about Justice Alito’s impartiality in cases related to the election and the Capitol riot.

Trumpism  Last summer, two years after an upside-down American flag was flown outside the Virginia home of Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr., another provocative symbol was displayed at his vacation house in New Jersey, according to interviews and photographs. This time, it was the “Appeal to Heaven” flag, which, like the inverted U.S. flag, was carried by rioters at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. …  During the period the Appeal to Heaven flag was seen flying at the justice’s New Jersey house,  a key Jan. 6 case arrived at the Supreme Court, challenging whether those who stormed the Capitol could be prosecuted for obstruction.

Voting rights The mere fact there is some disparity in impact does not necessarily mean that a system is not equally open or that it does not give everyone an equal opportunity to vote.
