I read a couple hundred death penalty cases for a case once and I think you’d all be shocked at how often this happens. The death penalty is one of the cruelest things in our system, an obvious violation of the 8th amendment cruel and unusual punishment clause, but we just love to kill.
![screenshotted excerpt from the linked article, with piece one sentence highlighted, beginning after the word 'vengeance.' excerpt reads as follows:
Sam Alito isn’t the only member of his household with a grudge against journalism, either. In another recording released by Windsor, also from the Supreme Court Historical Society event, Alito’s wife Martha-Ann suggested she is biding her time until her husband retires and she can sue members of the media for reporting on her (?) flag fanaticism. “There’s a five-year defamation statute of limitations,” she said with a laugh. “I’m gonna get them.”
[embedded tweet of an undercover audio recording of Martha-Ann Alito, which includes her saying "I want a Sacred Heart of Jesus flag because I have to look across the lagoon at the Pride flag for the next month."]
Martha-Ann also launched into a spiel from an Inglorious Basterds deleted scene about how her national background has prepared her for vengeance: “Look at me. I’m German, from Germany,” said Martha-Ann, who is from Kentucky. [editor's note: lmao] “My heritage is German. You come after me. I’m gonna give it back to you.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:kjklbsuepdppuppsfluytydl/bafkreibh6t75fwrbo73mkpccnfn7qp6nagvfgekev7xviczuxg5g4ln4da)
