@black_intellect I hope that this means that there will never be statuary of Alito (or Thomas and the others in the Dobbs majority) in the Capital (or SCOTUS) building.

@karlauerbach @black_intellect We'll have to make sure that never happens.

Maybe we should create a Traitors Park where we can have statues of people like Alito, Robert E. Lee, Benedict Arnold, Klaus Fuchs, and others of that ilk.

@shuttersparks @black_intellect - I have a suggestion for who's statute we can put in an old fashioned outhouse in that park, its some guy who overdecorates in NYC and Palm Beach.

@karlauerbach @black_intellect Ahh, yes. Overdecorates. I know who you're referring to.
