In light of Prof Amar’s zealous defense of Justice Alito’s integrity and impartiality by waiving away any culpability the justice may have due to his ”my wife did it” excuse, how does Prof Amar now square that putative inadvertence with the newly revealed ”Appeal to Heaven” on the family household mast? Seems part of the pattern of partiality demonstrated publicly by such astonishing acts as Alito’s shaking off Pres Obama at the State of the Union and Alito’s Rome speech re religious liberty.
