Apparently Justice #Alito does not understand the phrase, “the appearance of impropriety.”
It’s a pretty straightforward concept so:
A) he should return his law degree because he doesn’t understand a basic ethical question of law
B) he’s a lying sack of shit.
Thank you, @WmShakesp3are, for your encouragement
You're missing that some people are happy to see impropriety in the weirdest places, especially when it supports their prejudices.
That's why the key is to AVOID the appearance, because it can't be eliminated.
Can't stop nutjobs with axes to grind from imagining impropriety, so might as well ignore them.
And yeah, these nutty reactions to Alito have been pretty, well, nutty.
@iuculano seems the opposite to me: he trusts that people would be smart enough to ignore these weak claims against him.
@volkris you know, I keep reading blurbs from his excuses (which don’t excuse him) and wonder just how stupid he thinks the rest of us are. @iuculano
