— after Donald and Gayle Wright, two donors to Schenck's evangelical nonprofit, shared a meal with Alito and his wife, the Times reported.was "falseMonday's letter from Ethan Torrey, legal counsel to the court, to Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse and Rep. Hank Johnson was in response to the two lawmaker's previous letter to the courtJustice Alito has said that neither he nor Mrs.
"Gail Wright has denied Mr. Schenck’s allegation in multiple interviews, saying the account given by Mr. Schenck was 'patently not true'," the letter continues. "Mr. Schenck’s allegation that Justice Alito or Mrs. Alito gave the Wrights advance word about the outcome in Hobby Lobby or the authorship of the Court's opinion is also uncorroborated."After the Times published the story, Whitehouse and Johnson joined Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Dick Durbin in calling for legislation requiring a code of ethics for Supreme Court justices.
The allegation over the leaked 2014 decision came after the draft opinion of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization — which was also written by Alito — was
Let's forget Alito for the moment and concentrate on Clarence Thomas and his right-wing spouse. It's evident that she was instrumental in promoting the chaos to overturn a free and fair election, and he was the only one of nine to try to keep all trump's secret 'papers' secret.
Because, of course they did. SCOTUS is politicized and weaponized by the GOP beginning in the 80s/90s.
Not much of a defense.. the accusation is uncorroborated?… well so is the statement that they didn’t do it
Where are the right wingers who -just a few months ago - were yelling scotus leakers should be held to the *frothing at the mouth* ffffulllllleeesssttt extend of the llllaaaawwwww?
A majority of SCOTUS is dysfunctional and needs a reboot.
Because nothing matters anymore.
= guilty as charged.
It makes no difference; his brand has been tarnished and that is the way of the world. I am not exactly shedding any tears for him.
Alito is lying or his religious right cronies are lying. Which makes more sense? No leak has been found. So damning and no recourse. The taint of this court is a travesty!!
Closing ranks - without a full investigation - to protect a vulnerable member is not in the best long term interest of re-building public trust in the court.
nothing but his actions
That would be a wasted effort. Most Americans have lost trust in the Supreme Court since Trump appointed 3 justices plus Clarence Thomas and his wife. 😞
😤
I bet Alito's signature is the only one that looked normal.
Old enough to remember when they cared about leaks.
There needs to be more ethics oversight of the SCOTUS. It cannot continue to operate on the honor system.
The courts letter rings hollow.
So the guy just made up the story? Please.
Of course it does. The MAGA Court will always lie.
“There is nothing to suggest…” no, there clearly is. Stop lying.
So weird that we talking about a third hand account from 2014 instead of the leak in 2022.
More GOP hypocrisy
