Alito is pro-monarch. His actions back it up with our immune King.
Justice Alito’s Royalist Cosplay
It turns out the last time Donald Trump was president, Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, author of the Dobbs decision setting women’s health care back a few centuries, added a knighthood to his own résumé, pledging an oath to the Sacred Military Constantinian Order of Saint George. The knighthood, bestowed in 2017, wasn’t widely reported at the time, but the order’s website was updated in July with Alito’s investiture on the front page.
Some legal experts think the knighthood may violate the U.S. Constitution’s emoluments clause, which forbids federal officeholders from accepting foreign gifts, money, or titles without congressional approval. “A Supreme Court justice should not accept a knighthood, let alone from a far-right, monarchical, foreign religious-military order,” said Alex Aronson, executive director of Court Accountability. “The fact that Samuel Alito accepted such a knighthood, which very well might violate the Constitution’s foreign emoluments clause, is further evidence of his contempt for the American people and our Constitution.”
