On the day when we remember our valiant dead, killed in wars, it is worth recalling what the now old men (my father, drafted when he turned 18, would be 100 next week) who fought and died in great numbers to defeat Nazism died for.   The freedom to have a voice in government, no matter how small, and to sometimes see justice done in a democracy, rather than the terrifying absence of all fairness in a totalitarian state ruled by obedience to the will of one enraged psychopath bent on revenge.

Below is a clip of Sam Alito, one of our nine unappealable lifetime rulers on what is lawful in the US, whining about a made up theoretical scenario in which a president, after committing crimes while in office, will be compelled, after losing a “close and hotly contested” election, (say by a razor thin 7,000,000 vote margin as the ex-president now making the immunity claim did) to pardon himself, or foment violence to stay in office, if absolute lifetime presidential immunity for criminality while in office is not preemptively granted.  You know, since history shows that every president before Trump was immediately indicted for crimes, by his political enemies, after leaving office… while somehow all forgetting to invoke their absolute constitutional right not to be indicted.

This kind of floridly assholic line of reasoning/questioning can only be posed by a judicial genius who is also a fucking Nazi.

And when I say Nazi, recall that this was a party of ambitious power-hungry climbers willing to do anything to advance the Nazi cause.  They were not all-in on mass murder, until it was required of them by their unquestioning obedience to the will of their Führer, which was their only principle, outside of seeking their own power.  The 2020 GOP platform had one plank, whatever the Big Guy wants, we support it.  Remember also, it took the Nazis several years in power, after years of violence, rhetorical and physical, to come to power, before they started committing the serious crimes and wholesale murder they are now known for. 

A guy like Alito is a Nazi because he openly demonstrates his partisan willingness to further the merciless party line, whatever it might be, and enhance the power of his sponsors and fellow extremists, no matter what.  He does this over and over again, in his judicial opinions and angry public statements, as when brazenly lying on FOX about why his Stop the Steal flags were flying outside two of his homes. Some commie called his wife the c word!   She had every right to fly the flag of insurrection over their house!

Check him out in the absurd presidential absolute blanket immunity from criminal prosecution hearing (that, but for several appointees by a criminal defendant, should have been held, and decided, if the ridiculous claim needed to be heard at all, in December 2023, as DOJ requested).
