Appointed by none other than President George W. Bush, Alito took his seat on the bench in January 2006 and has since been a stalwart defender of our constitution.
At 74 years of age, he is the second-oldest justice currently serving, after Clarence Thomas who is 76. It seems his thoughts of retirement have been sparked amidst relentless attacks from our friends on the left.
Leftist politicians and their cohorts are calling for Justice Alito to recuse himself over an upside-down flag flown over his home. As reported by The Gateway Pundit, Alito flew an upside-down American flag at his Alexandria, Virginia home on January 17, 2021 – just days after the January 6 Capitol event and shortly before Biden’s inauguration.
In response to accusations, Justice Alito clarified to The New York Times that he had no personal involvement with the flag’s flying – it was his wife, Martha-Ann Alito. According to Alito, the flag was a reaction to offensive yard signs posted by neighbors and verbal attacks toward his wife rather than a political statement.
Our justice has also been unjustly targeted by a liberal journalist, Lauren Windsor, who secretly recorded him in an attempt to trap him. This so-called “bombshell” audio is nothing more than a giant nothing burger.
Not to be outdone, New York socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez introduced articles of impeachment against Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito. This radical step follows her previous threat of impeachment against the six conservative justices after the Supreme Court ruled in favor of President Donald Trump’s immunity from prosecution for alleged crimes committed during his tenure.
Now, according to far-left CNN, Justice Alito seemed “weary of it all” with his role on the bench on the final day of the court’s recent term. On June 20, when the chief justice announced the opinion in Gonzalez v. Trevino, Alito’s chair at the bench was empty. Alito missed that day and the next, with court officials declining to provide any explanation.
This report comes after Biden and Harris released a dangerous plan to undermine our judiciary by pressuring Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and John Roberts into retirement next year, setting the stage for a radical court-packing scheme that threatens the very foundation of our democracy.
The Gateway Pundit reported earlier this month that Biden was planning to support sweeping changes to the Supreme Court and target President Trump’s immunity. Now, he has made this scheme official.
In an op-ed published in the Washington Post, Biden argues he decided to make this call for “reform” after the Supreme Court in part because they foiled his plan to jail Trump before the 2024 election.
Biden’s radical plan, which he claimed would help “strengthen the guardrails of democracy,” is anything but small-d democratic: it amounts to a power-grab by the Executive Branch, intended to eradicate separation of powers, and guarantee the Supreme Court marches to the increasingly totalitarian dictates of the regnant political order.
Final Thoughts
The left’s relentless attacks on our conservative justices are a stark reminder of their insatiable hunger for power and control. We must stand strong against these threats to our democracy and continue to support our conservative justices who uphold the Constitution and defend our freedoms.
AT LEAST HE DOESN’T BURN OUR FLAG LIKE THE LEFT AND DEMOCRATS DO. YOU DON’T LIKE A RULING, YOU DECIDE WE WILL CHANGE THE PLAYING FIELD. ALL OF YOU SHOULD HAVE TO GO TO THE MILITARY AND SEE WHAT OUR MEN AND WOMEN STAND FOR. YOU ARE A DISGRACE TO DEMOCRACY.
