Not sure I disagree with Alito that the argument between left and right as currently arranged is irreconcilable. I guess he might say that by godliness he just means people doing good things, rather than its more religious meaning. But being Catholic, of course he will try to impose his religion's dictates on everyone else. It's what they have always done and it causes friction whenever they do so. Catholics never learn. There should be a rule limiting the number of people of particular religions in SCOTUS.

Roberts is right that it isn't the job of the court to do anything but recognise the nature of society. Its job is the constitution, not morality. The two can be different.

In Secret Recordings, Alito Endorses Nation of ‘Godliness.’ Roberts Talks of Pluralism.

Justice Samuel Alito told a woman posing as a Catholic conservative last week that compromise in America between the left and right might be impossible and then agreed with the view that the nation should return to a place of godliness.

The justice’s comments appeared to be in marked contrast to those of Chief Justice John Roberts, who was also secretly recorded at the same event but who pushed back against the woman’s assertion that the court had an obligation to lead the country on a more “moral path.”
