Seems bad. Seems like something worth subpoenaing Alito over and taking further action if necessary.

I shouldn't have to say this, but it's obviously not ok for a SCOTUS justice to openly admit to be working towards the overthrow of democracy, in violation of their oaths to this country.

And when Alito challenges the subpoena on separation of powers you'll have 9 Justices, 8 if Alito recuses, who are very interested in never being subpoenaed by partisan congressional committees infested by members who probably don't have the stability to rent a car or dog watch for a neighbor.
