AdamSmith Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Judicial temperament? Justice openly disagrees with Obama in speech Alito visibly responds negatively when president mentions recent decision WASHINGTON - Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito didn't like hearing President Barack Obama publicly criticize the high court's ruling removing corporate campaign spending limits — and he didn't try to hide it. Alito made a dismissive face, shook his head repeatedly and appeared to mouth the words "not true" or possibly "simply not true" when Obama assailed the decision Wednesday night in his State of the Union address... Senate Democratic leaders sitting immediately behind Alito and other members of the high court rose and clapped loudly in their direction, with Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., leaning slightly forward with the most enthusiastic applause. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/35117174/ns/politics-white_house/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest StuCotts Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Such a big pout over such a small reproach. Sensitivity's what he's all about. Cried all the way to the RNC's VIH* lounge, I'll bet. *Very Important Hack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest restless Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 The Supremes are like human tea leaves - people read all kinds of stuff into what they do or say. Alito probably made a face because he had gas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
