Kevin M. Kruse: I’m starting to worry — I hesitate to say this, but I must — I’m starting to worry that Sam Alito might not be completely honest

I’m starting to worry — I hesitate to say this, but I must — I’m starting to worry that Sam Alito might not be completely honest

Alito lied about the reason the flag was up because he didn’t know the couple had text messages establishing the date of when the incident took place. They were supporting the insurrection. www.nytimes.com/2024/05/28/u...

Wait. What. Whoa.

I am shocked! Do you hear me? Shocked.

excuse me I need to get my fainting couch this news is so shocking it may overcome my delicate constitution

It's going to overcome *a" Constitution, that's for sure

This man is so stupid I'd say it's surprising he's a SCOTUS judge but sadly, it is not.

Who needs to be smart when you've got the Federalist Society stamp of approval? If anything, being smart would only get in the way.

For someone cramming his rightwing theocratic agenda down the throats of the American people, you'd think he could stop being so damn pissy.

Playing fast and loose with historical details? I’m shocked, shocked I tell you.

I mean, who'd have thunk it? gotta say I love when someone brings the receipts.

Is it better or worse if there's so many arguments with neighbors and so many unhinged reactions that he couldn't remember whether that had happened before the flag thing and figured it was a plausible excuse?

I've got to check the timeline here, but does this mean Mr. Barnes of the @washingtonpost.com was clueless about what actually was going on here? Or just professionally uncurious?

The BEST case scenario is he’s the judicial Angel Hernandez of “just calling balls and strikes” But most likely he’s betting on rigged games

Any word from that legal ethics expert who claimed that Alito's story was the more reasonable explanation?

He revised his position after the second flag. www.rawstory.com/alito-ethics...

Judicial ethics expert who sided with Samuel Alito 'reversing himself' with 'new evidence'www.rawstory.com A judicial ethics expert who previously was willing to give Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito a pass on the extremist symbol on his property, is now convinced he did in fact act unethically, accordin...

It’s also not enough to ask Alito. Robert’s must insist both Alito and Thomas must recuse themselves or resign/retire from the bench. Those are the options. If he won’t do it then Roberts must be impeached and removed himself. Enough already.

Well, at least he's not entirely hopeless.

I bet Alito stopped paying him & he said, “Fuck it. I have ethics.”

I read this in C-3PO's voice: "Sir, it's quite possible this Justice is not entirely honest."

Take the Professor in back and plug him into the hyperdrive!youtu.be Favorite qoute :D

His wife seems nice, though

She bakes cookies for MAGAS then sticks a little upside down flag in each one. Sells them for $3.50 each.

Boss Hogg in black robes.

It’s as if these SCOTUS folks think they are above the Law (which sadly they are due to really terrible planning on our founding fathers parts)

Absurd planning. What were they thinking?

If Sam Alito shot someone on Fifth Avenue could he be prosecuted? @aoc.bsky.social

Yes. Even if Alito shot himself. Prosecute.

I'm starting to think he's afraid of his wife.

Definitely

See, if you were truly balanced you would find a Democrat who also might not be completely honest, then say they're all the same

I was shocked, shocked to learn that his wife is batshit.

The challenges of today are more important than what we faced in the 60s and 70s because you need to worry about the antigovernment group (Trump) and the power monger in government. You are the future. You must engage and create the future for your generation

I call on our youth (anyone 40s or less) to take up the challenge of reforming government. Pls stand up for righteousness and call us to be the best we can. Don’t accept the double talk of politicians and unfortunately our Supreme Court. U r our future.

The thing with liars, especially bad liars, is that they have this hubris that they'll never be caught telling a lie. The Incredible Mr Ripley, Alito is not.

NYT Editorial Board: "WHAT?! That's an incredibly irresponsible thing to say, when you don't know his innermost, secret thoughts! Honesty is something we can only conclude from the individual's self-reporting, in this op/Ed, we..."

Read this as Sam Altman at first glance. Still worked.

I am shocked. SHOCKED.

It’s okay Kevin - Dick Durbin has a politely worded letter in requesting a polite sit down private chat, where no doubt tea & crumpets will be served. Real napkins too. None of us are invited of course, as it’s not the little people’s business.

Uhh ohh. He holds an unelected political position with absolutely no formal accountability. Should we be concerned there could be any negative repercussions?

Just so sad…hard to fathom the Supreme Court being viewed in this manner as an institution, once the bastion of “all that was respected and honest” #SupremeCourt

Alito lying? Big shocker there.

Ya think?

And what if there are more than one David Peckers around? bsky.app/profile/nycs...

So Robert Barnes had the Alito story in 2021 and didn’t run it www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Wife of Justice Alito called upside-down flag ‘signal of distress’www.washingtonpost.com In January 2021, Martha-Ann Alito said the flag, a symbol embraced by election deniers, was raised outside her home in response to a neighborhood dispute.
