Samuel Alito, the Supreme Court s Plain-Spoken Defender – WSJ

I marvel at all the nonsense that has been written about me in the last year, Justice Samuel Alito says during an early July interview at the Journal s New York offices. In the face of a political onslaught, he observes, the traditional idea about how judges and justices should behave is they should be mute and leave it to others, especially the organized bar, to defend them. But that s just not happening. And so at a certain point I ve said to myself, nobody else is going to do this, so I have to defend myself.

I always liked J. Alito.
