Pretty funny. He also took a shot at Boris Johnson.
The one thing the left can’t stand is being mocked and made to feel irrelevant. Alito does both here. Good for him.
Yahoo: Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito for the first time publicly addressed critics of his landmark opinion overturning Roe v. Wade, using a speech in Italy to make light of Britain’s Prince Harry and other foreign figures who have lamented the rollback of U.S. protections for abortion.
“What really wounded me, what really wounded me, was when the Duke of Sussex addressed the United Nations and seemed to compare the decision — whose name may not be spoken — with the Russian attack on Ukraine,” Alito said in a sarcastic tone. The decision, Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health, was released last month.
Prince Harry had referenced “the rolling back of constitutional rights here in the U.S.” as well as war in Ukraine as examples of why 2022 is “a painful year in a painful decade,” during a speech July 18 in New York.
Alito also made light of commentary from outgoing British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, French President Emmanuel Macron and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
“I had the honor this term of writing I think the only Supreme Court decision in the history of that institution that has been lambasted by a whole string of foreign leaders who felt perfectly fine commenting on American law,” he said. “One of these was former Prime Minister Boris Johnson, but he paid the price.”
Alito appeared to reference Johnson’s recent resignation after a series of scandals in office.
More of this please.

Trudeau, Johnson, Macron and Princess Harriet have not a word to say about our country. Man-boy Trudeau, El Duce Macron, Johnson who’s hair is probably a reflection of what is in his head and Harriet who is trying to stay relevant after Grand Mama put him in his place are nothing on the world’s scene, even less in our country. Roll back our rights? Really Harriet? Show me the right to an abortion in the Constitution. Really show us all. We always have to prove our side of an argument with documented facts now it’s time for you to do the same. Show us the documentation where it says abortion is a Constitutional right. Yeah…I didn’t think so.

Love it!
He is blasting back at them with their own artillery.
And regarding the “Duke of Sussex” : Give me a minute and I will try to stop laughing at the opinions of British royalty about any subject.

Roe v. Wade never bore the burden of proof that the newly begotten innocent sovereign person who is the standard of Justice for the whole world was not a sovereign person. Miscarriage of Justice the whole time. The state gives citizenship at birth. The infinite Supreme Sovereign Being creates immortal human souls. Roe v. Wade is atheism imposed by the state.
