Justice Alito pins down lawyer who won't define boys, girls in court

Former volleyball player Payton McNabb reacts as the Supreme Court hears arguments on women’s sports laws and justices press what 'sex' means under equal protection.

Critics of Supreme Court justices frequently resort to unfair caricatures of those justices that, the critics hope, will generate clicks and likes. If you happened to see a recent hit piece on Justice Samuel Alito, for example, you would read that he is "unhappy," "aggrieved" and "wronged." And he, like the others, is expected to endure these attacks in silence. For, if the justices speak up, their critics then castigate them as thin-skinned and — conveniently — unhappy, aggrieved and wronged.

This vicious game is nothing new — but, when it comes to Justice Alito, it is personal for me.

I was born in Louisiana and grew up in the South, where I attended Baylor University for undergrad and Louisiana State University for law school. Today, I serve as the solicitor general of Louisiana, which requires me to argue before the Supreme Court. That is the experience of a lifetime — an experience sometimes described as a Super Bowl for lawyers, or, as one Yelp review of the Supreme Court building put it, Washington’s version of a gladiator match.

ALITO RIPS SUPREME COURT MAJORITY AS 'UNWISE' FOR BLOCKING TRUMP'S NATIONAL GUARD PLAN

History and statistics would say that my story is unlikely. I did not grow up among East Coast and West Coast elites. I do not hold an Ivy League degree. And my unpronounceable last name is not famous. Yet here I am — by God’s grace and because of an army of people (including my current boss, Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill) who have believed in me.

Some jurists are reputed to be harsh taskmasters. Not Justice Alito. Not only did he lighten our loads at all costs, but he also never raised his voice or directed displeasure toward us.
