What is the joke? Sounded like a valid question.

I agree. I don’t think he as joking. He was trying to frame the issue in a way woke leftists could comprehend. Where does this “making a joke” angle even get started with this?

There was a great debate around Trump's latest language-torture/"suspend the Constitution" brouhaha.

It looks like we're about to have a similar brouhaha about Alito.

This is nothing new, Remember when Reagan joked about boming the Soviets in 5 mins? People lost their mind...but Reagan never flinched on that one IIRC.

A guy who does financial hedging for a living, said the best way to totally hedge a bond or stock, is to sell it. Similarly, the best way to avoid pregnancy, is abstinence.

As long as people speak, own assets, or fornicate, we will have these brouhahas. Maybe the best course of action on the former, is to ignore the whiners.

Considering some of the hypotheticals both sides were throwing back and forth? It may well have been.

They are trying to find a spot to draw an arbitrary line between Religion and Free Speech.

From what I’m reading of Alito’s statement... He thinks that idea is dumb too. Freedom is Freedom and included the right to say NO.

If the Left wins this one, they will be able to FORCE us to say that 2+2=5.
