Alito Is A Pill

By Hubie and Bertie

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito is making a very strong bid for The Worst Person Who's Ever Lived.

Many of you loyal readers may recall that, back in the day (that is, when we first started blogging), George W. Bush was the WPWEL, followed closely by Dick Cheney, who was the Worst Person Who's Ever Lived If Indeed He Were a Person. That was because together, they ginned up a bogus invasion of Iraq and killed some 4,000-plus American service members, plus God knows how many Iraqis.

But since then, Benedict Donald has got Bush beat. Trump killed hundreds of thousands of Americans via his mismanagement of the COVID pandemic — and then, of course, you have to add everybody in Afghanistan who died because he and Mike Pompeo cozied up to the Taliban. And then there are the casualties of January 6.

Now, we have to add to Trump's tally women across America who die from botched abortions, or — more likely — from miscarriages and other medical mishaps that their healthcare providers can't treat without running afoul of the Republicans in whatever state capital we're talking about. Because it was Donald Trump — who's paid for, what? how many abortions in his lifetime? — who, with the help of Mitch McConnell, packed the Supreme Court with an anti-choice, anti-Roe majority.

And that SCOTUS has been wreaking havoc ever since. Although tonight, they wreaked a little bit less: By a vote of 7-2, they stayed a lower court's ruling on restricting medication abortion. Alito and the scandal-ridden Clarence Thomas dissented.

For you legal beagles in the audience, it appears that Alito's dissent is particularly whiny and aggrieved. "Completely unbefitting a Supreme Court justice," declares Joyce Vance. Are we surprised? Alito is the kind of scold who is constantly resentful that most of his fellow countrymen don't believe in living the narrow, bleak, constricted lives he thinks they should. So it's unsurprising that he believes those godless liberals in the Biden Administration wouldn't follow what he tells them to do anyway. "You darn kids don't know what's good for you!"

Who nominated this psychopath to the Supreme Court to begin with? Funny you should ask. It was George W. Bush, who, before Trump, was — and, maybe, still is — the Worst Person Who's Ever Lived. We cats have come full circle, and we HISS.
