You'll get no argument from me about that. That being said:

Any justice, judge, or magistrate judge of the United States shall disqualify himself in any proceeding in which his impartiality might reasonably be questioned.

Justice Samuel Alito spoke candidly about the ideological battle between the left and the right — discussing the difficulty of living “peacefully” with ideological opponents in the face of “fundamental” differences that “can’t be compromised.” He endorsed what his interlocutor described as a necessary fight to “return our country to a place of godliness.” And Alito offered a blunt assessment of how America’s polarization will ultimately be resolved: “One side or the other is going to win.”

[...]

The recording, which was provided exclusively to Rolling Stone, captures Windsor [the "interlocutor"] approaching Alito at the event and reminding him that they spoke at the same function the year before, when she asked him a question about political polarization. In the intervening year, she tells the justice, her views on the matter had changed. “I don’t know that we can negotiate with the left in the way that needs to happen for the polarization to end,” Windsor says. “I think that it’s a matter of, like, winning.”

“I think you’re probably right,” Alito replies. “On one side or the other — one side or the other is going to win. I don’t know. I mean, there can be a way of working — a way of living together peacefully, but it’s difficult, you know, because there are differences on fundamental things that really can’t be compromised. They really can’t be compromised. So it’s not like you are going to split the difference.”

Windsor goes on to tell Alito: “People in this country who believe in God have got to keep fighting for that — to return our country to a place of godliness.”

“I agree with you. I agree with you,” replies Alito, who authored the Supreme Court’s 2022 Dobbs decision, which reversed five decades of settled law and ended a constitutional right to abortion.

Like I already said. Still, it's starkly disconcerting to have it confirmed.

Hard to believe, considering she agrees, that she would share the recording.

No doubt, being the man of integrity he is, he'll resign under the circumstances.

Normies of all stripes - red, blue, purple, whatever - should be deeply concerned that at least two of the nine individuals with the power to determine, this week, that the Presidency is an office above the law, obviously consider themselves to be above even basic good-faith and honesty.

Again: the right is telling you, everywhere and OUT LOUD, that they simply do not consider themselves to be bound by any laws, rules, regulations, standards or norms of ANY sort.

Yeah, similar to why I keep a supply of wire hangars in my apartment just in case.
