These two guys are an embarrassment to the SC. You know you’re a bad Justice when you make Trump’s nominations look good.

I don't think Thomas is an embarrassment to the Court as such, he just has an extreme and somewhat idiosyncratic philosophy; so did, for example, William O. Douglas in the other direction.

Alito, on the other hand, is the platonic ideal of a GOP hatchet man unconvincingly posing as an impartial jurist.
I just read their opinion piece and it’s even worse than I thought. They provide no argument for why the 14th Amendment doesn’t apply to same sex marriage. They just whine about how they’re being called homophobes and how it’s not fair for those poor religious nuts who now have to be upset about gay people, that they don’t even know, getting married.

Welcome to the modern conservative moment
I wish that Dems could impeach these two for being a sexual assaulter or a blatant partisan hack
