Sam Alito has made another stop on his Petulant Whining World Tour:

When asked about criticism that the court has strayed too far from public sentiment and risks appearing partisan when it overturns precedent, Alito said he has no problem with the public, the media and academics criticizing the court’s legal reasoning in its rulings. But he took issue with those who have questioned the legitimacy of the court.

“To say that the court is exhibiting a lack of integrity is something quite different. That goes to character, not to a disagreement with the result or the reasoning. It goes to character,” Alito said.

I mean, yes, yes it does. You understand exactly what Kagan is saying, well done.

Without tipping his hand, Alito said Tuesday that a court should not be so large that its work becomes unwieldy and cautioned about making changes for political reasons.

“If Congress were to change the size of the court and the public perceived that the reason for changing the size of the court was to influence decisions in future cases,” Alito asked. “What would that do to the public perception of our independence and our legitimacy?”

Exactly what you’ve been doing for your entire tenure on the Court whenever you’ve had a fifth vote?

Anyway, I think the analogy to the slave power here is precisely accurate. It’s not enough for these guys to win, they think they have an inalienable right to have everyone fawn over them no matter how reprehensible their behavior:

And, yes, the ultimate Alito moment was his sneering, self-righteous attack on an honest writer who observed with 100% accuracy that the Court had nullified Roe v. Wade in the nation’s second-largest state with an unreasoned opinion issued at midnight:

However much criticism Alito gets, it’s never nearly enough, and in defending his integrity he’s defending a black hole.
