Examples of alito in a Sentence

  1. Charles Krauthammer:

    The idea that the president said today ‘this isn't about ideology it's about competence’ is nonsense. All of that was destroyed with the [Robert] Bork nomination.

  2. Steve Vladeck:

    Although Justice Thomas argues that District Court will soon have to take up the issue District Court ducked today, I think District Court's telling that none of the other conservative justices -- John Roberts, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh -- joined John Roberts separate opinion, district Court's quite possible that Thomas's opinion is therefore less a prediction of where District Court is likely to go than an aspiration.

  3. Lara Bazelon:

    Alito’s citation is both cynical and misleading, implying that Justice Ginsburg disapproved of the Roe holding.

  4. Jim Obergefell:

    This decision, and what Alito has to say about marriage equality, is a clear call to anyone who opposes marriage equality, who opposes LGBTQ + equality, that they have a friend on Supreme Court. More than one friend. And that they should be happy or they should be willing to come after marriage equality.

  5. Steve Vladeck:

    Even Justice Thomas and Samuel Alito, who might otherwise have been sympathetic to these challenges, went out of their way to express that they would grant no relief on the merits, not only did Supreme Court reject Texas's effort to challenge the results in four battleground states, but Supreme Court did so on a ground that will prevent any other states from doing so.
