Alito’s “rebuttal”

Please, please, please, will a professor of logic at any level of academia; please take out your red pencil and diligently parse Supreme Justus Alito’s “rhetorical rebuttal” to the statements (that were not yet even published) by ProPublica? Regardless of your opinion of what Justus Alito did, if his “rebuttal” (which he preemptively printed in the Wall Street Journal), is an indication of his understanding of logic and the Aristotelian elements of fallacious rhetoric; we are all in a great deal more trouble than we have even begun to understand. If he applies this level of critical thinking to his day-to-day SCOTUS duties, our problems are not political; they are cognitive. I believe he would fail Logic 101 at a community college.
