I'm not refuting any of that, his stories and explanations are definitely suspect. My point as laid out in the article is just that there is at least one dispute with a neighbor, probably more now that we know that Mrs. Alito is miffed by pride flags "across the lagoon". And these disputes are exacerbating his already ultra right-wing leanings, and creating a monster that would not exist in the same form otherwise. He might still have been an ultra right-wing justice, but now he's more bitter and angry, and has reasons for constant one-upmanship that a heated neighborly dispute dictates.
"If their accounts of the situation are true, this neighbor sounds like a complete and total nightmare. I might have called the cops on them a few times myself. "
What action of Alito in the last 20 years suggests to you that he's capable of telling the truth?
I think like Rand Paul's neighbor, there's been provocation.
You should listen to NPR's interview with the neighbor -- because the timeline Alito lays out does not jive with the neighbor's account.
Nor with the call to the police.
Also, when he gets indignant that there was a sign with profanity outside the school bus stop?
Remember this is January 2021 and Northern Virginia schools are closed and doing remote learning.
There are no school buses.
