Alito to "drop by" Rosa Park's casket today.

[cornermouse]

How unfitting, given his rulings.

1. Maybe the ghost of Rosa will smack him upside the head...

One can only wish. It IS Halloween, after all.

2. "Drop by"??? Is that how he or his people phrased it?

He's going to stop by just to "stick his head in the door" is he?

[cornermouse]

3. I believe their terminology

was visit. The fact is, give his rulings, I doubt Rosa would appreciate his attendance.

6. Well, now that she's no longer with us to speak up against it...

...rightwingers will feel free to invoke her name for whatever purpose they want, just like when they invoke Martin Luther King, Jr., or, more recently, the 9/11 victims, Nick Berg, Terry Schiavo, or anyone else who is no longer around to speak for themselves.

4. How flipping hypocritical is that? One of his rulings would ALLOW

race-based discrimination!:grr:


ALITO WOULD ALLOW RACE-BASED DISCRIMINATION: Alito dissented from a decision in favor of a Marriott Hotel manager who said she had been discriminated against on the basis of race. The majority explained that Alito would have protected racist employers by “immuniz an employer from the reach of Title VII if the employer’s belief that it had selected the ‘best’ candidate was the result of conscious racial bias.”

5. Drop by?

For a cup of coffee and a donut? How improper.

7. Rosa Park's casket is not TRL or the 7th inning stretch at Wrigley. . .

. . .when will the damn Bushco stop using dead Black people for photo ops?

8. This is just appalling. .. I'm pissed!
