Anyone who calls the Supreme Court too imposing is a heretic who should perish

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/09/30/alito-supreme-court-integrity-heresy-satire/

But to call my court’s integrity into question — the temerity! This kind of horrible disrespect is the sort I will not suffer in silence. All I want is to live my life as I choose, holding sway over the entire nation without pushback or criticism. Yet at every turn my benevolence is met with treachery and complaint. Is this how you treat your unelected magistrate? Nobody shall exert undue control over my judicial body.

This is what I am always warning about: the creeping tyranny of people saying, “Your opinion is ill-considered,” or, “This seems political,” or, “You are free to have those beliefs, but I don’t think, in the United States, you get to impose them on others.” Imagine being any more oppressed than this! You can’t! I certainly can’t!

So stop questioning my authority! You know what it’s called when you question the integrity of the Supreme Court, as a majority of Americans now do? “Free speech in a free country”? Who said that? Find the heretic, and seize him! Seize him!

“how dare a woman question my divine right to invade her bedroom, govern her uterus, determine her own healthcare..be very careful in your contempt for the all omnipotent Samuel Alito…I and my four court jesters have no problem denying you birth control, forcing you to wear burkas and chastity belts…so kindly shut up, sit down”….
