https://www.cnn.com/2024/06/21/politics/samuel-alito-not-present-supreme-court/index.htmlI heard chatter that this is due to something that is going on with his wife....The pressure is getting to them both....

Justice Samuel Alito was not present on Friday morning as the Supreme Court handed down opinions in the courtroom, the second day in a row he has been absent.
Alitos absence, for which the Supreme Court has not provided an explanation, is unusual because its the end of the term and the justices have issued nine opinions over the last two days.
One of the opinions on Friday included upholding a federal law that bars guns for domestic abusers, rejecting an argument pressed by gun rights groups that the prohibition violated the Second Amendment.
Alito has been in the news recently for controversial flag displays outside of his properties, including a US flag that was flown inverted outside the justices home in 2021 and another flag that was on display during the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol that was flown outside Alitos vacation home in New Jersey.

Would it be too much to ask that he kicks the bucket this weekend? No? Good.

Ayatolla Alito, a.k.a. Slippery Sam, should retire. He's unfit for the job.

Dodging conflicts of interest is my guess.... Surely some of his donors' cases are being handled.
