1. Alito and Thomas have proven through their actions

They have no right or business presiding over any legal matter relative to constitutional freedoms. They are selfish, evil and downright Anti American. If they had integrity they’d resign. So they won’t resign. Sadly trump with the help of the treasonous bastards in the Senate would nominate younger versions of the same.

2. As soon as they said there the ruling was 7-2, I knew immediately who it was

And I thought that they were waiting to retire when we had a Republican president to nominate their successors? Or are they just too unwilling to give up the perks that they're enjoying from those right wing millionaires who seek to influence them? And you're right, anyone who TFG nominated would likely be worse - Jeanine Pirro?!

3. Sammy and slappy like those perks

I think selfishness is the number one conservative value. It’s nice that other trump appointees have chosen to do the right thing (on some cases.) They certainly weren’t nominated to do the right thing.

4. I'm pretty much amazed that TFG's nominees are ruling as they are, but this has happened before

And he can't do what he usually does - his signature action, fire them.

5. I applaud Judge Amy Coney Barrett

She strikes me by most of her votes of being a Christian. Totally fries trumps brain.

6. Agreed, despite his hawking Bibles, TFG has no idea what being "Christian" means

Has he even heard of the 10 Commandments which he breaks every single day??
