Why anyone was "stunned" I don't understand.
Secret audio recording of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito casually and unreservedly telling a woman posing as a right-wing Catholic conservative that there are “fundamental” differences between the left and the right that “can’t be compromised,” and agreeing the nation needs to return to “godliness,” has sparked strong criticism by legal and political experts.
On one side or the other — one side or the other is going to win. I don’t know. I mean, there can be a way of working — a way of living together peacefully, but it’s difficult, you know, because there are differences on fundamental things that really can’t be compromised. They really can’t be compromised. So it’s not like you are going to split the difference.
-- Samuel Alito

** In my opinion:
Behind the authoritarian mindset of Justice Alito, there is unadulterated rage. This is not justice, it is revenge and punishment. His "opinion" is the weaponization of the letter of the law to kill the spirit of the constitution. The supreme court has lost all credibility as a result and become a tool of the authoritarian mindset to impose its will on society, regardless of the cost. Abortion is not about protecting life, it is about protecting white power and privilege while imposing a new American theocratic Taliban. **
