    Justice Alito exposes the hypocrisy of liberal double-standards

    Liberal hypocrisy.

    Justice Alito exposes the hypocrisy of liberal double-standards

    ...The case of Minnesota Voters Alliance v. Mansky concerns a Minnesota statute that broadly bans all political apparel at the polling place. When Andrew Cilek went to vote in 2010, he wore a shirt bearing the image of the “Don’t Tread on Me” flag and a button that read “Please I.D. Me.” The poll worker asked him to remove the shirt and button because it supposedly violated the state law.

    ...The exchange has to be seen in full to appreciate the devastating effect, so I’ll reprint each part and note which examples of clothing Rogan considers “political” and what he views as “not political”:

    JUSTICE ALITO: How about a shirt with a rainbow flag? Would that be permitted?

    MR. ROGAN: A shirt with a rainbow flag? No, it would — yes, it would be — it would be permitted unless there was — unless there was an issue on the ballot that — that related somehow to — to gay rights.

    Rogan’s conclusion: A symbol for a liberal cause (gay rights) is not political (unless there is something directly related to the issue on the ballot), and thus would be allowed.

    JUSTICE ALITO: How about a shirt that says “Parkland Strong”?

    ROGAN: No, that would – that would be — that would be allowed. I think -* I think, Your Honor -*

    JUSTICE ALITO: Even though gun control would very likely be an issue?

    [Rogan hems and haws for a few moments while Alito pins him down]

    ROGAN: I — I think — I think today that I — that would be — if — if that was in Minnesota, and it was “Parkland Strong,” I — I would say that that would be allowed in, that there’s not -*

    Rogan’s conclusion: A symbol for a liberal cause (gun control) is not political, and thus would be allowed.

    JUSTICE ALITO: Okay. How about an NRA shirt?

    ROGAN: An NRA shirt? Today, in Minnesota, no, it would not, Your Honor. I think that that’s a clear indication — and I think what you’re getting at, Your Honor -*

    Rogan’s conclusion: A symbol for a conservative cause (gun rights) would be political, and thus not allowed.

    JUSTICE ALITO: How about a shirt with the text of the Second Amendment?

    ROGAN: Your Honor, I — I – I think that that could be viewed as political, that that — that would be — that would be –

    Rogan’s conclusion: The text of an Amendment to the U.S. Constitution would be considered political because it is primarily supported by conservatives, and thus not allowed.

    JUSTICE ALITO: How about the First Amendment?

    ROGAN: No, Your Honor, I don’t -*I don’t think the First Amendment. And, Your Honor, I -*

    CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS: No — no what, that it would be covered or wouldn’t be allowed?

    ROGAN: It would be allowed.

    Rogan’s conclusion: The text of an Amendment to the U.S. Constitution would not be considered political because it’s supported by people other than just conservatives, and thus would be allowed.

    ALITO: . . . How about a Colin Kaepernick jersey?

    ROGAN: No, Your Honor, I don’t think that that would be under — under our statute. And I think -*

    Rogan’s conclusion: The jersey of a football player best known for his left-leaning political activism with the Black Lives Matter movement would not be political, and thus would be allowed.

    JUSTICE ALITO: How about “All Lives Matter”?

    ROGAN: That could be, Your Honor, that could be — that could be perceived as political.

    Rogan’s conclusion: Text considered to be in opposition to the Black Lives Matter movement would be considered political, and thus not allowed.

    JUSTICE ALITO: How about an “I Miss Bill” shirt?

    ROGAN: I’m sorry, Your Honor? I didn’t -*

    JUSTICE ALITO: “I Miss Bill,” or to make it bipartisan, a “Reagan/Bush ’84” shirt?

    ROGAN: Yes, Your Honor, I believe that that’s political.

    Rogan’s conclusion: Wearing clothes referring to politicians who have been out of office for decades is political, and thus not allowed.

    We have people who post here who are just as clueless.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.


    I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.

    And this goes down for the record. Both legal and History. Wow!


    There’s also an old saying that fish are the last to discover water. Something similar could be said about liberals and their left-leaning bias. They are the last to discover political bias because they assume what they believe about the world is the standard by which all other views must judged. While other people are being “political” they are merely being “reasonable.”.....snip~

    Yeah....I doubt Ginsburgh was able to stay awake thru it all. But I think we can be sure Sotomayor and Kagan didn't like it.
