Justice Samuel Alito
http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/AlitoR
With the Supreme Court in the final days of its term, Associate Justice Samuel Alito took time Thursday to serve
as the keynote speaker at the Texas State Bar’s annual meeting at the Hilton Anatole.

Is he a bit, of a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde ?
His speaking voice is reasonable, the phrases that he uses have a reasonable sound, during the speech he has given.
It might give you the impression that he is reasonable in hall of the Supreme Court. The first thing that he takes note
of, is Equal Access and Equal Justice under the law.

Kasie Hunt, who's in the House chamber, reports that Justice Samuel Alito mouthed the words "not true" when President
Barack Obama criticized the Supreme Court's campaign finance decision.
Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) stood up behind the justices and clapped vigorously while Alito shook his head
and mouthed his discontent.

"There has to be some ironic joke I can make about how Alito, guy who literally today authored a Supreme Court
opinion that made it easier for workplace bullies to get away with it is himself acting like a workplace bully, but I
can't bring myself to imagine anyone trying to shove Ruth Bader Ginsburg into a locker."

"The episode occurred when Ginsburg read from the bench her dissent in two employment discrimination cases decided Monday,
Vance v. Ball State University and University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center v. Nassar.
Ginsburg read aloud a summary of her joint dissent in the two cases. She critiqued the Vance opinion by laying out a
"hypothetical" (clearly drawn from a real case) in which a female worker on a road crew is subjected to humiliations by
the "lead worker," who directs the crew's daily operation but cannot fire or demote those working with him.
The Vance opinion, she suggested, would leave the female worker without a remedy.
The Highest Court in the Land, the Most Respected Judges in America
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito broke from the high court's usual decorum on Monday morning, rolling his eyes and
shaking his head as his senior colleague, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, read her dissents in two cases.
Longtime Supreme Court observer Garrett Epps called it a "mini-tantrum" and "display of rudeness."
At this point, Alito pursed his lips, rolled his eyes to the ceiling, and shook his head "no."

The offense against decorum is greater when the object of scorn is a woman 17 years his senior, one who is acknowledged
even by most of her critics to have spent a distinguished career selflessly pursuing justice in the precise area of her dissent--
gender equality in society in general and the workplace in particular.
Her words are as worthy of respectful attention as were his.
(Equal Access and Equal Justice under the law. But, not equal respect, or equal consideration.)
Even Ginsburg, no comedienne, can be colloquial and accessible. In her dissents Monday, she noted that an employee
can avoid a harassing co-worker by telling him to “buzz off,” and she argued that “the ball again lies in Congress’s court
to correct this court’s wayward interpretations.” She also invoked the self-deprecating quotation defining a legal mind
as one that “can think about a thing inextricably attached to something else without thinking about the thing which it
is attached to.”
Ginsburg was tart, even acidic — but she confined her objections to words.
That kind of judicial restraint would benefit her junior colleague.
