Hunter Biden was just convicted on three counts relating to the purchase of a handgun. The response to this judgment by the right demonstrates why mr. Alito's recent sotto voce comments about two philosophies not being compatible is sadly a fact.  I tuned into fox to listen to what they might have to say about the verdict, and they were naturally delighted with how our criminal system worked, but assured me that this case was nothing like the sham trial of the FBF.  When the verdict came out in that other case the left leaning pundits might have danced a jig out of sight of the cameras, but in front, they were somber, so much so that the right made fun of them for it. No one claimed that when someone of note came to that other trial, it was to intimidate the jury, or when that gang showed up out front dressed in trump costumes to harangue the news media, no one said they were there for anything but to kiss the hand.

    jeanine pirro was on fox news and applauded the just verdict, and then proceeded to explain that the Biden family members that showed up for the trial did not show up to support Mr. Biden in his time of trial, but were there for the sole purpose of intimidating the jury, which she was pleased they were unable to do.  This female is as fanatical as any member of ISIS.  A staunch catholic (with quite a few skeletons in her own closet, according to Wikipedia) who is unable to see the least bit of humanity in anyone with whom she disagrees. Her vitriol is so unchristian, it is truly hard to comprehend.

    Back to mr. Alito's comments; it seems to me that the left( not the far left, they are as uncompromising as the far right.) is always trying to form some sort of consensus, to compromise, sort of like what Europe did with Hitler before that war. They kept backing up, giving ground, until they were up against the wall.  I see the left doing that. The right screams louder and louder, like rabid dogs.  Well, the left is very close to the wall now, and I think a fight for the sole of this country is near. In a pluralistic society like ours, religion is antithetical to democracy in that the rule of law supersedes religious law. That is something that religious fanatics cannot abide. Alito wants a caliphate, governed by himself and other like minded members of the supreme tribunal. The founders of this country may or may not have been religious men, but they did insert a clause in the constitution preventing the government from creating a state religion, which is what the right seems to be after. If you spend a bit of time on research you will find that after the founding of this country, most Americans were farmers, and they did not have guns. which were expensive. They did not say the pledge of allegiance or say prayers in public schools.  These all came later, like civil war memorials, at various times, as reactions to immigration or other imagined threats. 

Every god ever worshiped by humans sprang directly from the mind of a human. Any entity capable of creating the universe in which we find ourselves is utterly beyond the comprehension of our species.
