Want Some Cheese with That Whine?

So, now it's Samuel Alito who is throwing a hissy fit over people criticizing his and his fellow conservative justices corruption.

Sorry, but there is no reason for one of the co-equal branches of government to be immune from public criticism: 

Justice Samuel Alito leapt into a political fray over the Supreme Court on Thursday, lashing back at critics who have accused the justices of increasingly issuing momentous decisions on its emergency docket without the benefit of a full briefing or oral arguments.

Alito said complaints about the court’s “shadow docket” are misplaced and intended to conjure up images of justices conspiring to advance their ideological agendas under the cover of darkness.

If you are so upset about people complaining about the job that you, quit.  Otherwise, just shut the f%$# up.

………

In his address, Alito repeatedly railed against the media for propagating what he called “unfair and damaging attacks” on the court, but also accused “political figures” of doing the same.

“The media and political talk about the shadow docket is not serious criticism,” Alito insisted. At another point, he snarked at the press: “Journalists may think we can dash off an opinion the way they dash off articles.”

Even if you are unaccountable, this does not place you above criticism.
