  5. "Today journalist Lauren Windsor released damning audio of Justice Alito that leaves no doubt about his Christian nationalist bias and inability to be an impartial justice.

    In the first recording, Supreme Court Justice Sam Alito admits he can’t be impartial with the Left: 'One side or the other is going to win … There are differences on fundamental things that really can’t be compromised.'”

  7. The #SCOTUS search for a general rule on when presidents do and don't have immunity for their criminal acts is what #conservatives used to call #JudicialActivism. The older practice was to decide whether the specific acts charged violated the law, and "not reach" the question whether other, similar acts might also violate the law.

  9. Among the wave of retrospective accounts set to come out that year, 2016, was a… film dramatically recounting #AnitaHill’s #SexualHarassment allegations.

    That spring, a flurry of op eds defending #Thomas & railing against the film appeared in news outlets, penned by a DC atty who had worked in the George H.W. Bush WH during the confirmation. Websites celebrating Thomas’s career — & attacking his onetime accuser — popped up.

  13. Let’s talk about #JudicialActivism. ALWAYS - when the Republicans cry about judicial activism, what they really mean is that the ruling doesn’t comport with their privilege.

  14. “‘I wouldn’t want anybody to … make me a wedding website?’ he continued, sounding a bit puzzled but good-natured about the whole thing. ‘I’m married, I have a child—I’m not really sure where that came from? But somebody’s using false information in a Supreme Court filing document.’”

  16. “Yes, that was his name, number, email, & website on the inquiry form. But he never sent this form, he said, & at the time it was sent, he was married to a woman. ‘If somebody’s pulled my information, as some kind of supporting information or documentation, somebody’s falsified that,’ Stewart explained.

    “…It took just a few minutes to reach him. I assumed at least some reporters over the years had contacted him about his website inquiry to 303 Creative—his contact information wasn’t redacted in the filing. But my call, he said, was ‘the very first time I’ve heard of it.’

  22. The Supreme Court’s conservatives are doing exactly what they claim to detest One would be hard-pressed to find two phrases that more aptly describe the court's actions, than “judicial activism” and “legislating from the bench.”

  24. CW: USpol

    This is possibly the most activist Supreme Court in my lifetime, but when it's right-wing judicial activism, the media calls it "assertive" and uses cutesy metaphors like "flexes their muscles" instead of calling it "activist," which is a better and more fitting description.

  26. Last July, #Alito was feted in Rome by Notre Dame’s #ReligiousLibertyInitiative, which has in recent years joined the growing ranks of #conservative #legal activists who are finding new favor at the #SupremeCourt – & forging ties w/the justices. The group’s legal clinic has filed a series of “friend-of-the-court” briefs in #religious liberty cases before #SCOTUS since its founding in 2020.

  27. “I’m asked what was the hardest thing? What was the hardest decision I had to make in 18 years? Was it this First Amendment case? Was it that death penalty case? Was it some major separation of powers case? None of those. The hardest decision I had to make was whether to erect fences and barricades around the Supreme Court. I had no choice but to go ahead and do it,” Roberts declared.
