Rachel Maddow: Alito drops pretense of impartiality, delivers political remarks

https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/alito-drops-pretense-impartiality-delivers-political-remarks-n1247700

"Alito abandoned any pretense of impartiality in his speech, a grievance-laden tirade against Democrats, the progressive movement, and the United States' response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Alito's targets included COVID-related restrictions, same-sex marriage, abortion, Plan B, the contraceptive mandate, LGBTQ non-discrimination laws, and five sitting Democratic senators.... Flouting his ethical obligations, Alito waded into fierce political debates over public health during a pandemic, reproductive rights, LGBTQ equality, and other issues that routinely come before his court."


Alito showing his true colors, is just another conservative republican hack. We need a review and rebalancing of our entire court system.

This and his voting record likely make for a strong case that he lacks the impartial mindset to serve. It won't happen, and maybe it shoudln't, but he's made it much easier for Dems with this.

It is sort of funny that when they are being confirmed, SC nominees for the most part refuse to comment on cases that could come before them on the court. But once they get on the court some of them are more than willing to let their biases show.
