Alito: 'Not True'

From Politico:

POLITICO's Kasie Hunt, who's in the House chamber, reports that Justice Samuel Alito mouthed the words "not true" when Obama criticized the Supreme Court's campaign finance decision.

"Last week, the Supreme Court reversed a century of law to open the floodgates for special interests – including foreign corporations – to spend without limit in our elections," Obama said. "Well I don’t think American elections should be bankrolled by America’s most powerful interests, or worse, by foreign entities. They should be decided by the American people, and that’s why I’m urging Democrats and Republicans to pass a bill that helps to right this wrong."

...Chuck Schumer stood up behind the justices and clapped vigorously while Alito shook his head and quietly mouthed his discontent.

Excellent reaction from Justice Alito.

So you can't even read the opinion of the case and yet you know what went on? No you don't. It was a bad decision it overturned 100's of years of law that was valid and important. it has been shot down by the Conservatives and Liberals in Congress because it creates a situation where Governing is no longer important but 24/7 financing is, and found a constitutional law unconstitutional. Alito is the most unqualified jsutice of the last 20 years, and that says a lot.
