I don't believe Alito's story for a moment. He threw his wife under the bus. I have the impression she's a doormat. Rarely seen in public, and when she is, she's always a few steps behind him. But I could be wrong.
I did read somewhere that Alito has always thought he should have been chosen as Chief Justice, instead of Roberts. I can't swear to that, either. But he most certainly is a nasty sonofabitch.
Perhaps now some of the neighbors will speak out. That would be fun.
