"The justices on the Supreme Court must know that they will be called upon this week to rule on an appeal from defendant Trump. Given that knowledge, it is shocking that Justice Alito spoke to Trump by telephone on Tuesday of this week….

The contact between Trump and Alito was unseemly and likely unethical."

"Alito either believes we are idiots and don’t understand the corrupt nature of the call, or Alito doesn’t care what we think. My money is on the latter.

Alito is out of control and is giving the 'judicial middle finger' to the American public and to the feckless John Roberts who has lost all control over the Court."
