U.S. Supreme Court defends Alito over report of second leak

"There is nothing to suggest that Justice Alito's actions violated ethical standards," legal counsel Ethan Torrey wrote in a letter to Senator Sheldon Whitehouse and Representative Hank Johnson.

"Relevant rules balance preventing gifts that might undermine public confidence in the judiciary and allowing judges to maintain normal personal friendships," Torrey wrote. "It seems that the underlying issue is the absence of a formal facility for complaint or investigation into possible ethics or reporting violations," the lawmakers wrote in their letter.

Schenck, who formerly led an evangelical Christian nonprofit group in Washington, was quoted as saying that he used his knowledge of the Hobby Lobby ruling to prepare a public relations campaign and that he also tipped off the president of the craft store chain about the outcome. Schenck, according to the Times, wrote to Roberts about his claim.

FFS!

Creepy, sneaky dealings. Not above board or ethical. Recuse yourself or better yet step down. Retire.

Weird how Cons don't care about the leak all of a sudden 🤭

It's the bitch

Oh, then alito is definitely guilty...

👎🏽

Of course they do because many of them are complicit

Oh ffs. An obvious misdirection move. The world knows which justice’s people leaked that. Who falls for this?

The corruption runs deep with the Conservatives on this Court.

I'm sorry, but when a pattern begins to emerge...

translation: Alito was behind both leaks

i'd like to know what they are going to do about clarence & ginni

Any judge leaks proceedings to the public. This was supporting that abortion is infanticide.

5 to 4 majority?

Well SCOTUS having lost it's integrity means they can't have our trust. We are up shit's creek

'Democrat claimed' lies lies lies

MAGA SCOTUS justices are esteemed figments of their own imagination. Their only means of achieving appointment to SCOTUS was by ingratiating themselves to other intellectual lemmings of the Federalist Society, the judicial equivalent of the KKK.

Another entity that is allowed to investigate themselves...

No matter what US Supreme Court says, … … the SenateFloor can easiky impeach Justice Alito for misconduct.

I'll take 'things that surprise nobody' for 500

Alito must be forced to step down. Obviously,he's making no attempt to be honest + forthcoming + empathetic to the American People. He's running his position in SCOTUS like a out-of-control organized crime syndicate. SCOTUSblog USSupremeCourt TheJusticeDept congressdotgov

Supreme Court OKs handover of Trump tax returns to CongressThe court, without comment, rejected Trump's plea for an order that would have prevented the Treasury Department from giving six years of tax returns for Trump and some of his businesses to the Democratic-controlled House Ways and Means Committee. You all think this a 'gotcha' moment. It's not. Trump has nothing to hide. It's a trap. So his taxes made it all the way to the supreme court & they said we can look at his taxes. The precedent is now set. That means we can now look at Nancy Pelosi's, Feinstein, Omar's taxes. I'm more interested in Biden's dealings with China and Ukraine
