Host / other voice“the almost unprecedented thing, which is Samuel Alito had a dissent to her dissent. He took issue from the bench, unscripted, with what she said. And it's such a breach of the court's decorum and protocol to be like, no, you.”
Host / other voice“to have Samuel Alito in his majority just bat it away so much so that he won't even acknowledge it, which forces in some sense, Justice Kagan, to read it into the record to create a dissent where she says, here are the words that were said that are emblematic of what Donald Trump was trying to do.”
Host / other voice“I don't recall ever reading anything quite like Samuel Alito and Jackson's back and forth, not even on a final, you know, an opinion that comes out, but really on an order on implementation of that opinion and decision.”
Host / other voice“Samuel Alito is beloved by many conservatives, utterly reviled on the left. In particular, he was the author of the Dobbs' decision overturning Rovers' way to calamity for the legal left, and so he has been attacked every which way.”
Host / other voice“He goes on about how it's failed everywhere it's been tried. He names country after country after country that has tried mail-in balloting. And he lists how corrupt it is, how rife with voter fraud.”
Host / other voice“the whining little bitch from New Jersey, could not handle someone accurately describing what he had done, saying the truth out loud is as ever the meanest thing you can possibly do to Samuel Alito.”
Host / other voice“Jackson's position, this is what Samuel Alito said, quote, would require that the 26 congressional elections in Louisiana be held under a map, which has now been held to be unconstitutional.”
Host / other voice“Samuel Alito gained up to $2.9 million from oil and gas interest since joining the court in 2005, this according to a new analysis from the Judicial Watchdog Group Court Accountability.”
Host / other voice“one of the dissents came from Samuel Alito, who seemed to think that if they counted later, that meant that the person voted after election day, which I was very confused, and so was he.”
Host / other voice“That is a tremendous spillover effect because this opens the door to fraud in all of these states, and now you're signaling to other states that they can pass laws like this, too.”
Host / other voice“the court regards the liberty to discriminate as an actual liberty and the liberty not to be discriminated against as sort of a fake thing that was imposed by foolish liberals.”
Host / other voice“It's about not being a good judge. It's about not having the knowledge she was put in that position for one reason. She's a black female. Not because she was qualified.”
