Some Supreme Court justices have been taking heat in recent months for standing up for the Constitution. But no one thought things would get this bad.
And now, a Supreme Court justice has been attacked by a Radical politician and Americans are outraged.
Recently, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton targeted Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, criticizing his Christian faith and labeling him a “fanatic.”
During a speech, Clinton referred to Alito’s religious convictions as “scary,” drawing sharp criticism from many who view her remarks as a blatant attack on religious freedom and the values held by millions of Americans.

Justice Alito, known for his strong pro-America stance and commitment to his faith, has been a lightning rod for criticism from the left, particularly following his authorship of the opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which overturned the landmark Roe v. Wade decision.
Clinton’s comments are seen by many as part of a broader attempt to undermine conservative values and the principles enshrined in the U.S. Constitution.
Clinton’s attack on Alito is not an isolated incident. Throughout her career, she has often positioned herself against traditional Christian values, advocating for policies that many people believe undermine religious freedoms.
Her recent comments only reinforce the perception that the left is engaged in a concerted effort to marginalize and silence conservative voices, particularly those rooted in faith.
In her speech, Clinton expressed fear over Alito’s influence on the Supreme Court, suggesting that his decisions are driven more by his personal beliefs than by legal principles.
This narrative is alarming to those who argue that Alito’s adherence to the Constitution and his faith are not mutually exclusive but rather complementary in guiding his judicial philosophy.
The backlash from conservatives has been swift and fierce. Prominent figures have come to Alito’s defense, highlighting the importance of protecting religious freedom and the right to hold personal beliefs without fear of public condemnation.
Many see Clinton’s remarks as an attack not just on Alito, but on all Americans who hold similar beliefs.
Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) condemned Clinton’s comments, calling them “disgraceful” and a “direct assault on religious liberty.”
He emphasized that the ability to practice one’s faith freely is a cornerstone of American democracy and that Alito’s commitment to his beliefs should be respected, not vilified.
Similarly, conservative commentator Ben Shapiro pointed out the hypocrisy in Clinton’s rhetoric, noting that while the left preaches tolerance and inclusion, it often shows little respect for conservative viewpoints, especially those rooted in Christianity.
“Clinton’s remarks are yet another example of the left’s intolerance towards anyone who dares to hold traditional values,” Shapiro said.
Justice Alito’s supporters argue that his decisions reflect a deep respect for the Constitution and the principles upon which the United States was founded.
They see his commitment to his faith as a strength, not a liability, and believe that his perspective brings valuable balance to the Supreme Court.
Alito himself has previously addressed accusations of bias, stating that his faith informs his values but does not dictate his legal reasoning.
He has underscored the importance of interpreting the Constitution as it was originally intended, a principle that resonates strongly with many conservatives who are wary of judicial activism.
Clinton’s remarks have only strengthened many Americans’ resolve to defend their beliefs and support leaders who embody the values upon which America was founded.
