The court has always been illegitimate, it’s just doing a bad job at maintaining the facade.

Oh wow dang he said the loud part out loud.

Maybe they should permanently remove him from the position. Unfortunately our asinine laws let justices rile for life.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

In a conversation he didn’t know was being recorded, embattled Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito shared his private belief that his movement’s battle with secular forces in the country was a zero-sum contest of irreconcilable values.

Alito was responding to a question from Lauren Windsor, a progressive advocacy journalist and activist who regularly records conversations with Republicans and conservative movement leaders.

Windsor, who is making a documentary called “Gonzo for Democracy,” which will be out in the fall, reminded Alito that she had spoken with him a year earlier at the same event and wanted to ask him the same question.

RG: Yeah, and the fact that you went to Roberts at the same event with the same questions and got a completely different — and from my perspective — normal response from him shows that, OK, if you want to say he’s being entrapped or he’s being set up — A, like you said, discretion is the number one role, in public, of these Supreme Court justices.

And this is a man who has spent decades in the Senate and, you know, you could pick a lot of different things to be the worst day of your political life: the Iraq War, or 9/11, or the 2008 financial meltdown.

And it was such a crazy thing in D.C. because there was this conventional wisdom of “Mitch McConnell is going to be the majority leader.” You know, people just didn’t think that Democrats could win those two Senate seats, one, and two, Mo Brooks and the Freedom Caucus are making all this noise over in the House about challenging the Electoral College.
