It’s offensive,” he said. “I honestly try to decide every single case on the merits, every single application on the merit.

The physical threats and the harassment represents something new in our society and something that is quite disturbing … And I think it’s a danger to the courts, and I think it’s a danger to others in public life.

But rhetoric is a different story.

It's not pleasant, in the sense that it's a reminder of mortality," Alito said, referring to the conservative calls for him to move along for the good of the legal right.
