Supreme Court counsel defends Justice Alito after he denied allegation of 2014 leak

November 28, 2022, 7:02 PMAssociate Justice Samuel Alito poses during a group photo of the Justices at the Supreme Court in Washington, April 23, 2021.The U.S. Supreme Court's top legal adviser on Monday defended Justice Samuel Alito after top Democrats on the Senate and House Judiciary Committees"There is nothing to suggest Justice Alito's actions violated ethics standards," the court's counsel, Ethan V. Torrey, wrote in a letter to Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I.

The lawmakers had demanded answers from the court after a former anti-abortion activist, Rev. Rob Schenck, that he had received advance word on a 2014 opinion authored by Alito from a wealthy couple who had dined with the justice and his wife.MORE: How did the Supreme Court become so polarized? He said he relayed this account to Chief Justice John Roberts in a letter after the court opened an investigation into the bombshell leak of a draft opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, in which five of the court's conservative justices decided to end the constitutional right to abortion.

Alito is absolutely a set up job. His mother told me IN THE EARLY 80’s that it was not only fixed he’d be on SCOTUS but that he was going on the court specifically to overturn Roe. Then she went to her Catholic retreat with her ladies. He opposed Princeton enrolling women too.

If you will lie to get a job you will lie to keep it.

Welp. No denial of the Dobbs leak.

Alito is the GOP’s Roland Freisler

Wow! A right wing zealot liar denied it? Who could have guessed he’d deny it? SCOTUS is a joke

Corrupt

well then case closed

'The justices are largely self-policing when it comes to ethics matters and are not bound by an enforceable ethics code.' I think I found the problem guys!

Guilty !

Democrats are attacking an institution of democracy, which is a threat to democracy.

alaskarebel 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

He & his wife leaked the Roe vs. Wade decision over dinner with a mega donor according to a whistleblower.

Republicans walked away from ethics long ago .. now they're nothing but fear mongering domestic terrorists.

Ofc 🙄

Ha ha Senators talking about ethics. You can't make this stuff up.

The Supreme Court is aligned with America’s fascists. Race is always the underlying issue.

and they wonder why we lost trust

Due to the multiple and frequent ethical lapses by conservative justices, this general counsel is doing a terrible job

The liberal ridiculous mainstream media attacking scotus is a bad idea.

Now SCOTUS is divided and petty. Is there no part of government we can trust? I guess not.

How's that 'leak' investigation coming along?

lollllll

Kangaroo Court.

Detesting white people, the City of Seattle began paying their non-white partners that they contract with generous wages in order to advance 'transformative justice' and as a rebuke towards capitalism, which they label a system of white supremacy.

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
