Ha ha! A fuming Alito said this:

For today’s majority, it does not matter that the right to same-sex marriage lacks deep roots or even that it is contrary to long-established tradition. The Justices in the majority claim the authority to confer constitutional protection upon that right simply because they believe that it is fundamental.

Imagine that.

I was once complaining about Alito, several years ago, to my Mom, a lawyer, and I thought she was going to try to calm me down with a little judiciousness, and she said, "You know, he reminds me exactly of Eichmann. The same pasty-faced uncharismatic murderously evil bureaucrat. He even sound like Eichmann." And she knew from Eichmann.

Yes! And odd, because he's not in any bureau. Though I guess bureaucracy came out of religion, and before even tragedy did. In fact hierarchy sans heirarch is pretty much religion's functional definition.
