Summary
Justice Samuel Alito, a self-described Originalist, has been criticized for allegedly disregarding the Constitutionās text when it conflicts with his personal views.
Recently, it emerged that Alito accepted a knighthood from a European order, despite the Constitutionās ban on foreign titles for U.S. officials.
This title, from the House of BourbonāTwo Sicilies, raises questions about Alitoās commitment to American democratic ideals, which the Framers aimed to protect from foreign influence.
Critics argue that Alitoās actions reflect hypocrisy in his supposed adherence to Originalism and constitutional principles.
You have no idea how hard it is to suppress the downvote reflex here.
Pretty neat they could challenge the basis of government in a public forum without fear of retaliation tho.
Yeah itās kinda wild. Almost like thats a protected right or something. Itād be a shame if someone wanted to take it away.
