    So, Alito can rob millions of women of their right to choose health care, but he can't take a flag from his wife?
  • @lisadavis4279
    Alito and Thomas should both be impeached for their lack of ethics.
  • @pattiburris6936
    I'm sick of scotus justices blatantly lying both in confirmation hearings and on the bench. Fire them now.
  • @gohboon7525
    A SC justice who’s UNABLE to handle a dispute with neighbours IS UNFIT TO BE A JUDGE/JUSTICE.
  • He should not recuse himself - he should be disqualified and fired.
  • I have zero confidence in the current Supreme Court. Alito & Thomas should both be removed.
  • @bethcount7221
    Wait! What? He has no "Control" over his wife yet wants to remove Healtchcare rights from every woman in America?
  • @willvm394
    How about the Justice Alito, whose wife has a deal leasing 160 acres of land to an energy company, for a percentage of the profits, ruling against the EPA a number of times? Even reversing a law signed by President Obama to protect the environment?
  • @gailhall6283
    Blame it on the wife. That is LAME! Recuse yourself, Alito.
  • @OohGreat
    What a sad excuse for a Supreme Court Justice. You know you’re wrong Alito
  • He 🎉and Thomas are a disgrace to the courts WE NEED TIME LIMITS! HIS ARROGANCE IS SICKENING!!!
  • @Seaneey
    The Supreme Court has lost all credibility
  • I'm confused. A judge's daughter who doesn't live with him and doesn't have any legal entanglement with him, can cause the judge to be conflicted. But a different judge's wife, who he is actually legally entangled with, who he shares a house and probably a bed with, does not cause that judge to be conflicted. Where is the consistency?
  • Being a Supreme court justice is a privilege not a right. Allowing justices to write and enforce their own code of conduct is farcical. They have abused the power and leeway they have been given and must be held to account.
  • Thomas and Alito wifes should be investigated and this guys removed from the Supreme Court.
  • I'm sure Alito knows, that receiving Kudos from Trump, is a large sign/indicator that YOU are on the wrong side of the ethics line.
