A federal judge who said Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito was damaging faith in the Supreme Court has been forced to apologize for publicly criticizing the justice.
Senior Judge Michael Ponsor criticized Alito in an essay for the New York Times, blasting the Supreme Court justice for flying an upside-down American flag outside his home in Virginia and a Revolutionary War-era “Appeal to Heaven” flag outside his beach home. Democrats complained that the flags were an indication of Alito’s bias toward Republicans and demanded he recuse himself from cases involving President-elect Donald Trump that were before the court. more

I knew a pedasterer named Michael Ponsor. Anyway, let me be the first to wish him a happy I’m A Dick Day.
Should have cost him his job. His bias agains’t Alito is different because he’s pro-democrat. Doesn’t see the difference.
“Courts work because people trust judges. Taking sides in this way erodes that trust,”
Admitting that the competition is really high on this one, I am nominating this asinine statement as THE stupidest thing anyone has uttered this year. Judge Merchan is visibly snickering.
As for the upsidedown flag ,. “I had no involvement whatsoever in the flying of the flag. It was briefly placed by Mrs. Alito in response to a neighbor’s use of objectionable and personally insulting language on yard signs,”
So Ponsor is a douche and his apology is meaningless.
If you publicly criticized your boss would you still have a job?
Not a chance in hell.
