Anatomy of a Hit Piece
You see the headline and probably think one of two things: 1) Alito used insider knowledge to make stock trades, and/or 2) Alito is too biased against gay people to decide related cases. Then, you read the article to see the amount traded was “between $1000 and $15000.” Just consider how small this amount is to a person worth $10 million and who makes $274k on his judge salary. If you count his salary plus interest & dividends on his investments, the amount traded was equal to about a day’s pay. WHY IS THIS A F-CKING STORY?!!!!! Of course, everyone knows the answer — Alito leans conservative, so anything that can be used to destroy him is fair game to a pathelogically corrupt media. You never hear a peep of the fact that Nancy Pelosi uses her Congressional insider knowlege to outperform stock returns of Warren Buffett and virtually every other top investor in the world.
This is a perfect example why you should NEVER trust headlines, and it shows that even when they print something true, they distort reality so much they create “newsworthy” items that really are meaningless. However much you hate the mainstream media, it’s not nearly enough!

What part of "shall not be infringed" is unclear?
