    Well, as I see it, Mr. Alito… You can either have Congress do it, or you can have an angry mob do it. Which do you prefer?

        We’re not as rowdy as we need to be, but you’re not going to get the full picture from corporate media. They have a vested interest in downplaying or vilifying everything rad we do.

          The masses aren’t going to rise up over the supreme court. It’s too abstract and far away for most people in the crowd to care that much about.

          They absolutely need to be brought down a few pegs though. Congress needs to take Alitos statement as a challenge.

        I live near Alito. There was certainly concern that Americans aren’t as pacified as you think–if the riot police and swat that staged near his house, after the Roe decision, was anything to go by.
