“Justice Samuel Alito spoke candidly about the ideological battle between the left and the right — discussing the difficulty of living ‘peacefully’ with ideological opponents in the face of ‘fundamental’ differences that ‘can’t be compromised,’” Rolling Stone reports.

“He endorsed what his interlocutor described as a necessary fight to‘“return our country to a place of godliness.’ And Alito offered a blunt assessment of how America’s polarization will ultimately be resolved: ‘One side or the other is going to win.’”

“Alito made these remarks in conversation at the Supreme Court Historical Society’s annual dinner on June 3, a function that is known to right-wing activists as an opportunity to buttonhole Supreme Court justices. His comments were recorded by Lauren Windsor, a liberal documentary filmmaker. Windsor attended the dinner as a dues-paying member of the society under her real name, along with a colleague. She asked questions of the justice as though she were a religious conservative.”

godliness, not the constitution

roberts’ legacy as chief justice is toast.

ps: ‘One side or the other is going to win.’ is some brilliant logic.
