Let's not forget ignoring long standing legal precedent.
And several sitting justices lying to the American public during confirmation hearings.
There are certainly consequences for the rest of us.
"“The physical threats and the harassment represent something new in our society and something that’s quite disturbing, and I think it’s a danger,” Alito concluded."
These are just not new things at all in US society. Maybe he thinks it's new because he's never experienced it before. But it shows a profound ignorance of American history to say something like that.
"Americans are willing to resort to violence to maintain their freedom. That's a problem this country has never seen, and I'm proud of this administration for squashing that freedom and taking away their independence"
It took courage to punch down on some of the most vulnerable members of our population, to destroy legal precedent that a majority of Americans strongly supported. And he did it all for no better reason than to indulge his own perverse views on women.
This one statement tells you everything you need to know about Samuel Alito.
What it took was for 6+ members of the court to be Catholics and to impose their religious creed on the rest of us.
Wish someone had the courage to overturn Alito
Tgat's what guilotines are for
Uh oh, Tesseract list for you! 🤣
At some level, they have to realize how pooly this decision will be viewed from a historical perspective
In that regard, it could be called bravery. The willingness to be a POS in the history books in exchange for money and power while you live
They really don't though. He genuinely thinks it was the right thing to do otherwise he wouldn't be saying it. Christianity is a disease that tells you that some truly heinous acts are good actually.
Just like how it takes courage to piss in a public swimming pool.
Nah, Alito wanted that
Well now we need courage from the American people to overturn this fascist regime.
It took a lot of things and courage was not any part of it.
He's traitor scum and should lose his head.
I'd like to Appeal to Heaven to lightning bolt that motherkiller.
More like cowards for licking Rumps boots!!
Is around the 230th trimester too late?
So brave.
Brave Sir Robin Alito!

Mostly it took petty bribery and some religious fanaticism.
But whatever.
