Justice Alito exposes the hypocrisy of liberal double-standards – Acton Institute PowerBlog

In the oral arguments, Justice Alito agreed that the law does seem arbitrary and observed that "So many things have political connotations, and the connotations are in the eye of the beholder." How could any poll worker, he asked, be even-handed in enforcing the regulation?

Rogan answered that what the standard meant was it would have to be something a reasonable person would consider "Clearly political" and "Something that's going to be reasonably understood by voters in the polling place." What followed was a line of questioning by Judge Alito that will go down in the history books as a prime example of liberal cluelessness and hypocrisy.

Rogan's conclusion: A symbol for a liberal cause is not political, and thus would be allowed.

Rogan's conclusion: The text of an Amendment to the U.S. Constitution would be considered political because it is primarily supported by conservatives, and thus not allowed.

Rogan's conclusion: The text of an Amendment to the U.S. Constitution would not be considered political because it's supported by people other than just conservatives, and thus would be allowed.
