Justice Alito’s recent speech at Notre Dame was deeply improper—& gravely mistaken on both law & facts. Count the ways. 1/

Alito’s very specific, pointed diatribe on court orders went well beyond proper public comments by a sitting Justice. 2/
Alito’s analogy of the Shadow Docket to EMT emergency procedures is insultingly wrong—doctors don’t cut medical corners; nor should the Court cut legal corners. 3/
Alito's proclamation that shadow docket orders are not binding on the lower courts directly contradicts an opinion he joined in April—criticizing a lower court for failing to follow the Court's orders. 4/
Alito’s attack on criticism as attempting to “intimidate” & “damage” the Court is risibly wrong. His own statements seek to intimidate critics & in effect deeply damage the Court. 5
