Mostly it took petty bribery and some religious fanaticism.
But whatever.
Let's not forget ignoring long standing legal precedent.
And several sitting justices lying to the American public during confirmation hearings.
The courage to lie!!!
I must be too jaded but I just expect them to lie since there are zero consequences.
There are certainly consequences for the rest of us.
"“The physical threats and the harassment represent something new in our society and something that’s quite disturbing, and I think it’s a danger,” Alito concluded."
These are just not new things at all in US society. Maybe he thinks it's new because he's never experienced it before. But it shows a profound ignorance of American history to say something like that.
"Americans are willing to resort to violence to maintain their freedom. That's a problem this country has never seen, and I'm proud of this administration for squashing that freedom and taking away their independence"
He's knows, he's just lying because he's pure evil.
they witness and aid ICE in doing precisely that against the American people… they just coundn't care less about you, they only think about themselves
It took courage to punch down on some of the most vulnerable members of our population, to destroy legal precedent that a majority of Americans strongly supported. And he did it all for no better reason than to indulge his own perverse views on women.
This one statement tells you everything you need to know about Samuel Alito.
What it took was for 6+ members of the court to be Catholics and to impose their religious creed on the rest of us.
Being a powerful man in a fascist system and oppressing women, soo brave
Wish someone had the courage to overturn Alito
Tgat's what guilotines are for
Uh oh, Tesseract list for you! 🤣
At some level, they have to realize how pooly this decision will be viewed from a historical perspective
In that regard, it could be called bravery. The willingness to be a POS in the history books in exchange for money and power while you live
They really don't though. He genuinely thinks it was the right thing to do otherwise he wouldn't be saying it. Christianity is a disease that tells you that some truly heinous acts are good actually.
Just like how it takes courage to piss in a public swimming pool.
No it didn't.
Alito can courageously suck a fart out of my ass
It mostly took cowardice from upsetting the executive branch of the government.
Nah, Alito wanted that
It certainly took something, that's for sure. And took it from many people.
Well now we need courage from the American people to overturn this fascist regime.
Overt misogyny and a sense of entitlement is what it took.
It took a lot of things and courage was not any part of it.
He's traitor scum and should lose his head.
I'd like to Appeal to Heaven to lightning bolt that motherkiller.
More like cowards for licking Rumps boots!!
Cowardly asshole
Really? I thought it took snowballing underneath the bench.
Is around the 230th trimester too late?
If you cut these people in half the pure evil inside them must be a glowing neon green. The only explanation for this timeline is that we died years ago and this is hell.
So brave.
Brave Sir

I can see that perspective (from the headline), but only because by now they should have faced some.. consequences for that decision
