In a new, secret recording, the Supreme Court justice’s wife bemoans having to “look across the lagoon at the Pride flag”
Martha-Ann Alito, wife of Supreme CourtJustice Samuel Alito, is incensed about seeing rainbow Pride flags during Pride Month, according to a new recording obtained by Rolling Stone. If it were up to her, she would be flying a Sacred Heart of Jesus flag in response. Or she might design her own flag, one sporting the Italian word for “shame.”
In recent weeks, Martha-Ann Alito has been at the center of a national firestorm over two flags seen flying at their residences that have been associated with right-wing movements that question the legitimacy of the results of the 2020 election. Justice Alito has blamed his wife for flying those flags — and rebuffed calls from Democratic lawmakers to recuse himself from upcoming decisions in cases related to the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
Like her husband, Mrs. Alito is unbowed by the criticism and controversy — as she makes clear in comments recorded by liberal documentary filmmaker Lauren Windsor. Windsor, posing as a Christian conservative, spoke at length with Mrs. Alito at a dinner reception hosted by the Supreme Court Historical Society last week. Windsor attended the dinner as a dues-paying member and bought a ticket; a colleague joined her.
…
When Windsor tells Mrs. Alito she is being persecuted and depicted as “a convenient stand-in for anybody who’s religious,” the justice’s wife gets quieter, and her tone turns more serious: “Look at me, look at me. I’m German. I’m from Germany. My heritage is German. You come after me, I’m gonna give it back to you. And there will be a way — it doesn’t have to be now — but there will be a way they will know. Don’t worry about it. God — you read the Bible. Psalm 27 is my psalm. Mine. Psalm 27, the Lord is my God and my rock. Of whom shall I be afraid? Nobody.”

The last quote from her strikes me as a “I’m proud of my nazi heritage” sentiment
“Look at me. Look at me. I’m German. And you don’t think I won’t come back at you hard?”
Yeah… something tells me this isn’t the weird pants and beer German pride. It’s the 1934-1944 German pride.
The far right in Germany won huge victories in Germany mere days ago. Stop looking to the past. It’s right here in front of you.
From my book on What the Buddha Taught.
It makes sense when you realise that Pride flags are personal attacks on her sense of safety and continued life.

I bet she is unbowed. Her husband is appointed for life and they are fabulously wealthy. Why wouldn’t she be? Everyone is unbowed when their position is entirely secure and can’t be changed no matter how awful their beliefs or actions.
So the reason why our corrupt Supreme Court is intentionally helping Convicted Felon and Sex Offender Treason Trump get away with a coup against democracy is because Alito and wife hate gays.
No, it’s because they’re Christian nationalists, which is even worse.
Fuck this shit. Dems need to win November and pack the court, and then put a cap on the number.
Stop playing nice, fascists are taking over.
When her husband talks about “no compromise between left and right”
It’s because they view it as a war and anyone not loyal to their sky daddy is the enemy.
Doesn’t matter if you just don’t care about religion, you’re either with them or against em.
Which is why it’s fucking insane moderate Dems refuse to act like it’s a fucking war already.
Biden needs to do something about the SC, before it’s too late and he loses the election. He needed to do shit 4 years ago, he just won’t fucking do anything.
And we’ll pay the price.
