'I'm gonna get them': Martha-Ann Alito can't wait to spend her golden years getting even

Let no one say that the two most conservative Supreme Court justices, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, married meek women. Or partners with inscrutable political views.

This week, we learned from a conversation secretly recorded by a lefty activist — a perfect stranger who sidled up to Martha-Ann Alito at a black-tie dinner, dropping compliments and f-bombs — that she hopes to spend her golden years indulging certain well-tended vendettas.

First, against the media. And not only for recent reporting that the Alitos have flown two overtly pro-Trump flags outside their homes, both of them connected to Donald Trump’s “Stop the Steal” movement and to Jan. 6 insurrectionists. This just as the court was considering a case involving the 2020 election and is considering Trump’s claims of immunity from criminal prosecution for his attempts to overturn the results of that vote.

Mrs. Alito’s animus towards the press apparently goes back to when Washington Post fashion critic Robin Givhan cut her clothes apart in print after the Alitos arrived in D.C. in 2006. Of course, reading that one of your ensembles reminded a writer of a baby blanket, and that another outfit seemed to have been patterned after a La-Z-Boy recliner, does not sound fun at all. But neither does eagerly waiting for the day when you can, as she put it, “get them. I’m gonna be liberated, and I’m gonna get them. … Come on, come on, I’ll get you, come on.”

Let it go. She should have more going on in her life than nursing grudges from decades ago.

Guess trying to be the perfect little submissive wifey doesn't bring the contentment they claim it does.

She said it was “shocking” to hear Martha-Ann Alito say she fantasized about designing a flag featuring the word “vergogna” — the Italian word for “shame” — to fly in response to LGBTQ+ pride flags. “I definitely did not see that coming,” she said.


SNIP Windsor also dismissed criticism from media ethicists who argue that she should have identified herself as a journalist and shouldn’t have secretly recorded the justices in 2023 and 2024.

“The Supreme Court is shrouded in secrecy, and they’ve really been dodging any accountability to the American public,” Windsor said. “Is it a bigger ethics problem for me to pretend like I’m a fangirl, or is it a bigger ethics problem for them to accept millions of dollars of undisclosed gifts from GOP donors?”
