'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 Trumps 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 Trumps claims of immunity from criminal prosecution for his attempts to overturn the results of that vote.
Mrs. Alitos 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. Im gonna be liberated, and Im gonna get them.
Come on, come on, Ill get you, come on.

(1,030 posts)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 shouldnt have secretly recorded the justices in 2023 and 2024.
The Supreme Court is shrouded in secrecy, and theyve really been dodging any accountability to the American public, Windsor said. Is it a bigger ethics problem for me to pretend like Im a fangirl, or is it a bigger ethics problem for them to accept millions of dollars of undisclosed gifts from GOP donors?
