That isn’t empathy, it is collaboration with insurrectionists.
That’s the joke
Alito is shit. The more mind-blowing stat is that Kavanaugh and Gorusuch seem to be the most centric in voting for criminal defendents in these types of cases. Thought there would surely be a more defined line there.
Soft on crime Alito, they call him. He’s only soft on the fascists though.
Trollito is just a partisan hack. He has no principles whatsoever.
I cannot take this guy seriously when in my language his surname means “bad breath”
That’s funny, because in English “Alito” means “Christofascist misogynist asshole.”
You forgot corrupt… "Corrupt christofascist misogynist asshole.”
Why I could never takes Siri seriously (it’s pronounced the same as ‘butt’ in Japanese).
This is the best summary I could come up with:
WASHINGTON — Conservative Justice Samuel Alito, a former U.S. attorney with a long history of voting in favor of prosecutors, has shown signs of empathy for defendants in recent cases involving gun owners, Jan 6. rioters and former President Donald Trump.
He sides with defendants less frequently than any of his eight colleagues, according to numbers crunched by Lee Epstein, a political scientist at the University of Southern California Gould School of Law.
One such case was a 2009 ruling authored by staunch conservative Justice Antonin Scalia that said defendants have a right to question lab technicians who analyze evidence the prosecution hopes to rely on at trial.
Four years later, Alito was in the majority and Scalia in dissent when the court ruled that states can conduct DNA testing during arrests without requiring a warrant.
But to those critical of Alito, his selective empathy ties him solidly with the kind of conservative cultural grievances that they think helped Trump become president.
In 2017, Siegel wrote an article in which he called Alito “the primary judicial voice of the many millions of Americans who appear to be losing the culture war.”
The original article contains 997 words, the summary contains 191 words. Saved 81%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
