Shouldn't these Justices who work for us, be obliged to actually keep their word ...

I don’t think Sam-I-Am Alito understands the meaning of the word “respected” …
This harbinger of the olden days, also seems to have a comprehension problem with terms “settled law” and the “right to privacy” too …
Alito told Ted Kennedy that he respected Roe v. Wade, according to excerpts from late senator’s diary in The New York Times
by Devan Cole , CNN — October 25, 2022
Then-Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito told Democratic Sen. Ted Kennedy in late 2005 that he respected Roe v. Wade and that he believed a right to privacy was “settled” law, according to entries in the late senator’s diary included in a new biography and published in The New York Times. “‘I am a believer in precedents,’” then-Judge Alito told Kennedy, according to a part of the diary reportedly recorded by the senator and later transcribed. “’People would find I adhere to that.’” Quotes from the diary appear in “Ted Kennedy: A Life,” by John A. Farrell, who published excerpts in the Times on Monday. “‘I believe that there is a right to privacy. I think it’s settled as part of the liberty clause of the 14th Amendment and the Fifth Amendment,’” Alito is quoted as saying in the diary, according to Farrell. “’So I recognize there is a right to privacy. I’m a believer in precedents. I think on the Roe case that’s about as far as I can go.’” [...]

Since Samuel A-Liar has proven himself to hold the same views on privacy rights as Mehmet Oz does — perhaps he should step down? Because he was either lying then, or he is lying now, about how much he respects “precedents,” “settled law” and a “woman’s right to privacy.”
Or maybe he can’t remember that far back, to 2005? It’s not circa the 1600’s afterall (where Alito spends most of his mental energy).
Given his trashing of the “settled law” concerning Roe v Wade — he has proven himself unfit for the position he holds. As has his other confirmation-lying cohorts: Barrett, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, each of whom told untruths to get confirmed, and assist Alito in his Rights-revoking quest.

The SCOTUS must be expanded, until some sense of balance can be restored. So that “settled law” can be “respected” again. To make that happen, Dems need to hold the House and have big wins in the Senate, too.
It will come down to turn out. It always does.
Vote. Vote like your rights depended on it — because they most surely do.

"I want women, doctors, local political leaders letting the democracy that always allowed our nation to thrive to put the best ideas forward so that states can decide for themselves," [PA Senate candidate] Oz, 62, said. people.com — October 25, 2022
In addition to “local political leaders” — TVee doctor Oz forgot to invite someone else into the “privacy” of a woman’s Doctors Office. Oz forgot to invite lying old Sam …
Of course that could be, because “right to privacy” Sam — has already invited himself. All free of charge. It is Sam’s beeswax, is it not?
Just ask Ted … the late Senator was “in the room” with Alito too; he even took some notes.
