My agreement with some of Alito's points does not alter the concerns over the messenger rather than the message. I still maintain that justices should speak primarily, if not exclusively, through their opinions. jonathanturley.org/2020/11/13/unf…
...All of those issues have been and will again be before the Court. Indeed, as Alito was making these ill-considered comments, the Catholic Church was coming before his Court in these very issues.
...It is also worth noting that many liberals are objecting to Alito’s speech despite celebrating even more alarming public speeches by Justice Ginsburg during his life. Indeed, these public controversies highlight the glaring contradiction in the use of the “Ginsburg Rule.”
...After refusing to answer even generalized questions in these hearings, justices proceed to speak publicly on the very same questions once they are confirmed. Some justices seem to maintain a fan base or constituency on the right or the left in these speeches.
