Documentary filmmaker made a secret recording of Sam Alito. "He endorsed what his interlocutor described as a necessary fight to 'return our country to a place of godliness.'"

The ridiculous thing w/ this is the myopic and immature view Alito holds on "godliness". Is it Catholic godliness? Quaker godliness (who have been in this taken land a lot longer than many other Christians)? How dumb do you have to be to hold this naive view on such a subjective idea?

He is absolutely right. One side or the other will win. Right now, the odds are Right-wing: -10,000 Left-wing: 120 The only way the Left wins is if they win control of WH, House, and Senate, first. Then, expand and pack the courts, starting with the SCOTUS. Every other way, they lose.

I would love for him to really delineate, like make an actually timeline, of when this country was “godly.” He means white men in charge. Gross.

oof, am I wrong? or does the term 'godliness' have no inherent meaning? it depends on a unique understanding of the word 'god', which would have to be defined that's a passive-aggressive, supremacist -framing based on the belief that there is one/true/right/pure way to view God & Alito has found it

I wonder which side is going to win? The one with the SCOTUS judge drawing the battle lines, or the other side who says they can’t do anything because that would break the “norms”?

Will Roberts do anything about Alito now? Probably not, probably just going to be upset they were recorded instead.

It’s a zero-sum-game for these right wing extremists. Behaving pragmatically and finding middle ground is not their way. Lying and cheating is. The ethos of the Supreme Court is paying the price, as are we.

I have no doubt that Samuel Alito is a partisan ideologue, and a right wing nut job, but the interviewer poses the question to him in a leading manner that forces the answer unnecessarily to sound more partisan then he might have otherwise maybe he would have but will never know.

Unfortunately it was a "impersonate a conservative and try to provoke him into saying embarrassing things" kind of recording, rather than a Mitt Romney 47% remark.

I've given up entirely on the pretense of acceptance and tolerance. I hate Christians and I hate Christianity and I'm sick of them existing, I'm done pretending there's nothing wrong with them, done acting like they don't do harm, done trying to come up with excuses for them being evil.
