Summary

Justice Samuel Alito, a self-described Originalist, has been criticized for allegedly disregarding the Constitutionā€™s text when it conflicts with his personal views.

Recently, it emerged that Alito accepted a knighthood from a European order, despite the Constitutionā€™s ban on foreign titles for U.S. officials.

This title, from the House of Bourbonā€“Two Sicilies, raises questions about Alitoā€™s commitment to American democratic ideals, which the Framers aimed to protect from foreign influence.

Critics argue that Alitoā€™s actions reflect hypocrisy in his supposed adherence to Originalism and constitutional principles.
