Alito May Sink Supreme Court

John Johnson

By John Johnson II

The Supreme Court’s leak shook the Nation. People, especially women, stormed into the streets in disbelief after learning about leakage of Justice Alito’s draft opinion. It wasn’t just a tiny leak. It was more like the leak caused by the iceberg that tore open the hull of the Titanic, causing it to sink.

The four conservative male Justices and one conservative female surrendered their Constitutional integrity to their partisan conservative ideology. Instead of demonstrating the stewardship necessary to steer this Nation through pro-life and pro-choice issues, which are the size of icebergs, they chose to risk sinking the Court’s integrity, along with the three dissenting progressive Justices.

Captain Smith of the Titanic received warnings but being stubborn and believing the myth that his ship was unsinkable, continued his deadly voyage.

The parallel isn’t that the Supreme Court is stubborn. Chief Justice Roberts Court and his five conservative justices’ integrity is less than that of pirates. They’re determined to overturn Roe v. Wade and throw all pregnant women who seek an abortion into an ocean of despair or jail.

Chief Justice Roberts would have us believe that it’s the leaker who should face imprisonment. But rather, his real intentions are to distract our attention from the absurd insanity of the opinion written by Justice Alito. This decision, if upheld, would constitute the second most egregious decision since the Dred Scott decision of 1857.

However, Americans shouldn’t allow the leak alone to distract them. The problem is the putrid substance of the leak presented by Justice Alito as justification for overturning Roe v. Wade. Equally true, intertwined in this leak are his intent, state of mind, and flaws.

Using the aforementioned premise, Justice Alito, flaws, intent, and state of mind are as depraved as Captain Ahab of Moby-Dick. Ahab’s flaws were defiance, insane obsession, and a willingness to sacrifice everything.

Alito’s flaws are his obsession with overturning Roe v. Wade, a defective moral compass regarding women’s productive rights, and a willingness to sacrifice the Court’s integrity.

Without regards for ethical discernment, Alito has upheld presumption of white innocence, treated the notion that anti-Black racism still exists with vitriolic contempt, (read his dissent in Ramos), and defended state laws enacted with discriminatory intent, (read Perry v. Perez).

Now that I’ve exposed Alito’s medieval and bias interpretation of the Constitution, it shouldn’t come as a surprise why Roberts chose him to write this draft opinion. Further, a review of the following citations presented by Alito in his draft, highlights the tone of his disdain for women reproductive rights and his unfitness as a Justice :

  • Abortion rights aren’t deeply rooted in America’s history and tradition as required by the Fourteen Amendment.
  • Roe v. Wade tramples on the will of the people. He retorts that the decision was “egregiously wrong from the start.” Is it not he who is wrong from the beginning to alleged that the previous Justices’ rule was “exceptionally weak?”
  • Abortions have diminished due to decreased stigmatization and guaranteed parental leave.

As Paul Harvey would say, “For the rest of the story!” Why would a Justice of the Court choose to cite, in the most important case, Roe v. Wade, Sir Matthew Hale, a 17th Century male chauvinist Jurist? Sir Hale defended the law which forbade men from facing a charge of raping their wives.

In other words, once married, a woman surrendered her rights of sexual refusal. Alito’s citation of Sir Hale revealed his prejudicial unwillingness to acknowledge women’s inalienable rights are inclusive of their reproductive rights.

Consequently, is it not clear as to why the leaker isn’t the traitor but the patriot. This brave soul wanted to reveal to America the undemocratic and discriminatory substance of Justice Alito’s draft opinion.

What really stinks to high heaven, is the substance of the leak as well as its intent.

YOU BE THE JUDGE!
