Secret recording puts spotlight on Alito's strong conservative views on religious issues

WASHINGTON — A month ago, Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito delivered a commencement speech at a Catholic college in Ohio in which he returned to a familiar theme of his: that conservative Christians are under attack from liberals in a culture war that grips the United States. He told students that both religious liberty and freedom of speech are threatened and warned them that there are 'certain principles that we cannot compromise without paying a fearsome price.

' Richard Garnett, a professor at the University of Notre Dame Law School, said Alito's remarks on culture wars, when read in context, suggest he is simply making the point that there are deep divisions in society. 'I certainly didn’t take that remark to indicate any disposition on his part to be unfair to one side or another,' he added.
