As a student of Greek Mythology, I must say that were these Mythological and colorful Gods and Goddesses around today, they’d perhaps have a bit of fun with a certain extreme court justice who perhaps personifies more than almost anyone. the one thing these Gods would frown on nearly more than anything. HUBRIS! Let’s see now, which extreme court justice am I speaking about? Here are some hints. Well – he is utterly charmless. He has about as much charm as a burrowing city rat. He’s often rambling in his opinions. And he adores quoting centuries-old anti-women decisions, from century-old anti-witch Judges. Ah, yes, Sammy Alito is the person I speak of.

Alito seems unable to cope with the court’s decision the other day. I say this because he wrote a dissent, and boy, oh boy, what a dissent it was! Ole Sammy sure sounded like he was teetering on the edge of madness. This way, madness lies, Ole Sammy. You should try to get yourself together.

“An act of judicial hubris.” This notable line was included in Sammy’s angry, scrawling dissent. As he took pen to paper, he, with a gush of raging words, declared he was “stunned” that the court had sided AGAINST his master, Donald John Trumpโ€”or should I say Elon Musk?

His dissent WAS EIGHT PAGES LONG AND SOUNDED insane. Alito most definitely lived down to expectations as he, with the dark candle of malcontent eternally burning within him, angrily excoriated his extreme court brothers and sisters, saying their (rightful) actions had left him “stunned.”

Clarence Thomas, Beer-boy Kavanaugh, and Gorsuch all signed onto the opinion, so one supposes there are FOUR unstable and seething Justices this time around. Some judges, my friends, have charm, grace, and dignity. These Judges are like antiques; they’re experienced in the legal system as they’ve been around for a while, they polish and clean their knowledge by constantly learning, they are sponges soaking up legal jurisprudence, and as a result, they are respected by their colleagues and peers.

Alito is not one of these judges. Indeed, like his master Trump, Alito’s scowl seems to have been seared into his cheekbones. Were I Alito (and thank goodness I’m not), I’d seriously think about retiring those dusty black robes because Alito, my friends, Alito — is indeed getting DUMBER.
