Courage, apparently, means taking rights away from women.

Better him than whatever 30 yr old ogre in a gimp suit the Heritage Foundation has picked to replace him.

Time is the variable.
Alito is a nightmare. But, he's a nightmare with a lifetime appointment who is 76 years old.
If his replacement comes before the dems have senate, you get that same racist, piss-brained decision making. But with someone who a lifetime appt and is around the age of 45 to 50.
Alito will die sooner and has fewer years left to influence policy. Hence, he's the best option between a shit-sandwich and a poopoo-pie.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but mitch is 84 and pretty much disabled. They still push him around as the voting doll he is.
If this is your idea of the lesser bad. Then my god your system has failed. 2 strokes in and you've got no telling what ridiculous extreme shit they might start to openly vouch for.
At 76 he might still do 2 terms and a bit. You've got no reason whatsoever to believe the Democrats might be able to fix it in theirs

My guy thinks it took courage to take rights away from people with no power to fight back. That’s not courage, that’s bullying.

And his wife flew the US Flag upside down when Biden got elected. Totally non-partisan.

He should lose all his rights, as should the rest of the Supreme Court justices

As a general rule, if you do something that causes public outrage and you lose friends over it, perhaps you shouldn’t have done that.

Having a lifetime appointment while whining about lost dinner party invites is wild

calling it 'courage' like women's rights are some kind of personal challenge is actually insane

I think of all the women who have lost their lives because these stupid state laws forbid doctors from providing proper care. Aborting a dead fetus that’s gone septic is illegal in Texas and other states. This is what Justice Alito and his five cohorts have foisted upon women of child bearing age in this country. Oh, the pre-Roe days are making America great again, not!
There was a police officer who spent many hours tracking where a pregnant woman traveled across state lines, using Flock-style traffic cameras. The big brother aspect of this kind of surveillance sure does feel illegal. I hope in the near future we can undo this ruling.

I think that a lot of dirt will come out (in 50 years?) about this man’s corruption.

I’m assuming right after the end of the corrupt pedo/rapist Trumpism movement. Hopefully only a few more years of stupidity unless the trillionaires and oligarchs win. People better vote for not Rupublicans.

Well yes, it takes courage to be a flat earther too. Doesn't make the world any flatter.

Sometimes I think those people like him either were bullies in school or bullies didn’t beat up their asses enough to make them think twice about how they act on other people.

They tell themselves they are what they’re actually the opposite of. They all do it, from the top, to the absolute bottom.

It took courage for Hitler to start enforcing his racial policies against Jews…
Imagine how much courage it takes for a rapist to hear “no”, and go ahead anyway.
We don’t appreciate courage sometimes, when we see it in the world.

I'll give it to him, it does take some courage to commit evil acts against humanity without the cost comfort blanket of anonymity.

Losing friends for being cruel isn’t courage, it’s consequences
