Ay yi yi, Alito.
Jessica said it better than I could, considering she’s an attorney and more knowledgeable on these topics.
I was going to write a mini-rant on the one position I find most abhorrent about Alito, but I really couldn’t pick just one. He is just such an 18th-century thinker. It’s really amazing that there are still people out there who think that when a woman gets married, she surrenders decision-making rights about her own body to her husband. What’s next, spousal permission forms before drastic haircuts? Oh, excuse me, husband permission forms. Something tells me there’s no hope for a law requiring a wife to consent to her husband’s vasectomy.
Maybe he’d be all right as long as you’re not a woman or non-white, and as long as nobody you care about is a woman or non-white. That leaves gay white men who have no fondness for any woman or non-white person, I guess.
Though I suspect that gay men don’t have much to gain from Alito either.
FILIBUSTER, cha cha cha.
I heard that if they filibuster that the republicans could turn around and vote to end the right to filibuster with 51 votes!
Ugh. The last thing I want is more responsibility! I can’t even figure out what to wear most mornings, let alone decide matters of my wife’s reproductive health. I hope this Alito guy gets shitcanned!
Isn’t his last name Spanish for “little Al,” anyway? That’s just silly.
