U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito mocked Prince Harry, Boris Johnson, Emmanuel Macron, Justin Trudeau, and other foreigners who have taken it upon themselves to intervene in America’s abortion debate.
In a speech to Notre Dame Law School’s Religious Liberty Summit in Rome, Italy, the conservative justice quipped he “had the honour this term of writing I think the only Supreme Court decision in the history of that institution that has been lambasted by a whole string of foreign leaders who felt perfectly fine commenting on American law,” referring to the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
“One of these was former prime minister Boris Johnson — but he paid the price,” Justice Alito joked, winning applause from the crowd, in reference to the British premier’s imminent departure from office after politicians from the Conservative (Tory) Party ousted him as their leader following a series of scandals.
“Post hoc ergo proper hoc, right?”
Justice Alito also namechecked President Emmanuel Macron of France and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada as interlopers, but said that “what really wounded me” was the intervention of Meghan, Duchess of Sussex’s husband, Prince Harry.
“[T]he Duke of Sussex addressed the United Nations and seemed to compare the decision whose name may not be spoken with the Russian attack on Ukraine,” he said, with the mere mention of Prince Harry’s courtesy title eliciting laughter.
“Well, despite this temptation, I’m not going to talk about cases from other countries — all I’m going to say is that, ultimately if we’re going to win the battle to protect religious freedom in an increasingly secular society we will need more than positive law,” he continued on a more serious note.

The man’s a keeper.
Prince William married well, while Harry married a Crenshaw whore, and became a cuck.
America is so open about its politics (and its borders) that everyone on the world feels like they can throw in their two cents and their opinion should count as legitimate. From a certain point of view that’s great...so long as our justices don’t start quoting “international norms.” Ruth Bader Ginsberg was famous for this. Glad she is no longer on the bench.
Well said.......
Yurps whose countries restrict abortion to 12 weeks or 15 weeks and who decide abortion law via the political process whining that America will now be treating this issue exactly the same way they treat this issue are......priceless.
Oh you think its terrible and wrong and oh so awful? How come you do it then? Dumbass busybody hypocrites.
I wonder if the Bushes are ever horrified by what solid Constitutionalists Thomas and Alito have turned out to be???
Republicans realize that government is run by people, not a system.
It is people that make these decisions that create law and enforce law, and leftists are completely shocked once said people make a decision that contradicts whatever values they project onto a government.
GHWB and GWB had their arms twisted to nominate Thomas and Alito, respectively.
She’s on a bench somewhere and it probably isn’t at a beach.
YUP.
