This country’s “justice” system will continue to be a complete joke until taking bribes is viewed less favorably than making impertinent comments.

The hardest part for me these days is having to disguise my utter contempt for the system and anyone who’s part of it on those rare occasions I have to deal with them, getting called for jury duty, for example.

Free speech for me but not for thee, says the Alitos. Filthy hypocrites.

Oh dear, here we go. They will never understand that free speech goes both ways.

Ta, Marcie. The less I say about the Alitos and the Thomases, the better to avoid banhammerland.

Okay, Alito got pissed, and this guy has to publicly kiss his ass. Then what?

Can SCOTUS remove a judge with a lifetime appointment who can only be removed through impeachment if he pisses off Alito again?

He should do a standard "sorry not sorry" nopology that the RW is so good at, as in "I apologize if I hurt anyone's feelers... etc. etc."

If anyone's feelings were hurt, as if the feelings are at fault.

So the same people who have been telling us for at least half a century that criticizing racism is "the REAL racism" are now saying that criticizing corruption is "the REAL corruption"?

Or have they just skipped directly to, "illegal = anything we don't like"?

Clearly, if Judge Posner wanted to make his point, he should have done like Republicans and had it captured in a truly bad painting by Jon McNaughton:

Jon McNaughton is despicable, but it would be hard to top the unintentional humor of "The Forgotten Man", wherein he painted George Washington to look exactly like Mel Brooks in a white wig.

Dear Alito, I'm sorry your lack of judgement, partisan bull shit and dodgy ways being pointed out in public embarrassed you, you thin skinned dingus. Insincerely, me

To the Associate Justice Samuel Alito,

I apologize that you are a treasonous fuck-knuckle.

I would appeal that toadying piece of shit to the SCOTUS and see whether Alito recuses himself.
