Rep. Keith Ellison Declares He Will Only Refer to Justice Alito as ‘Mister Alito’

‘It’s hard to call him Justice Alito’

Dem Rep. Keith Ellison: Samuel Alito Shouldn’t Be Called ‘Justice’ (Mediaite)

Appearing on MSNBC this afternoon, Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) tore into the Supreme Court’s Monday decisions, with his particularly harsh words saved for the majority opinion’s author: Justice Samuel Alito.

Speaking with Ed Schultz about the court’s two Monday decisions — a 5-4 ruling in favor of “closely held” corporations like Hobby Lobby not being required by law to extend contraceptive coverage in its employee health care plans; and their 5-4 Harris v. Quinn ruling that Illinois-based home health care workers cannot be compelled to financially support a union — Ellison suggested that SCOTUS has been nothing but anti-worker as of late.
