Justice Alito is right: The pandemic brought an assault on our basic rights

The usual mainstream-media suspects wasted no time in blasting as inappropriate Samuel Alito s address last week to the Federalist ­Society. Which is another way of saying they didn t like what he had to say. The Supreme Court justice warned that religious liberty is fast becoming a disfavored right, that freedom of speech is also ­ becoming a second-tier constitutional right.

He was exactly right and his wake-up call was urgently timely: Democrats threaten to reform the high court by packing it with liberals, while the pandemic has imposed what Alito called a stress test on the Constitution, creating a new ranking order of fundamental rights.

Simply put: Basic respect for some rights is dying.
