Alito, in a statement provided to CNN by the Supreme Court on Saturday, called the allegations concerning the dinner conversation "completely false."

"My wife and I became acquainted with the Wrights some years ago because of their strong support for the Supreme Court Historical Society, and since then, we have had a casual and purely social relationship. I never detected any effort on the part of the Wrights to obtain confidential information or to influence anything that I did in either an official or private capacity, and I would have strongly objected if they had done so," Alito said.

Wright vehemently denied Schenck's claims in an interview with CNN on Saturday.

"This whole thing is unbelievably misconstrued," she said, adding that Alito would never have discussed a specific case and she would never have asked about one.

"Cases are never discussed, everybody knows that," she said.

Wright confirmed to CNN the she and her husband had dined with the Alitos at their home and she remembered falling ill during the dinner and Alito offering to drive her home. It was the only time she had dined at the justice's home, but she said she has seen him occasionally over the years. She called any allegation that they had discussed the outcome of a case "patently not true."

Of course they are going to say they didn't do it.

But what evidence is there that he did? Just this guy’s … word? If there’s strong evidence that Alito did this, he should be kicked off the court, but this seems to be a rather baseless accusation, followed by a WILD speculation that if he did told friends about hobby he leaked the whole Dobbs decision (?!), by an attention-seeking preacher.

Precisely this. Too funny that LWNJs are taking the word of some preacher (of all people) as gospel because they’re so desperate for this story to be true. Imagine if this Schenck guy had a story that was damaging to Democrats. They’d be dismissing him with their usual disdain. How incredibly predictable our friends on the left are.

What’s really going on here: Leftists are pissed that the SC doesn’t rule the way they like so it’s illegitimate. They lost the house so now are onto something else to destroy

This. It's just astounding to me that they get away with calling the SC "illegitimate" simply because they don't like the conservative judges. They'd be happy as clams if the majority were liberal. Utter hypocrites who I can't take seriously, even for a moment.

Well if you say so, it must be so! We'll get right on that.

Um, no - nothing shows that this is true. It's one person's word against another's. I'm inclined to believe the Supreme Court Justice, but YMMV.

Why. There is nothing to indicate Alito is a trustworthy person.

What elitism on your part.

Oh, that is rich. As another poster said, if this random preacher claimed to have some information damaging to Democrats, you'd be throwing him to the wolves. You are the OG elitists.

What's really going on here: the double standards and denials and lying of the GOP. Every accusation is a confession. Whatever you say about the Left is what you are doing.

You have that exactly opposite. As usual.

I see it more this way: there have always been contained leaks to interested parties, but they're not reported upon because the parties concerned know better than to blab to the media.
This time there's this Schenke person, who is likely a little disturbed (no one would work as hard as he has for decades to ban abortion, only to change their mind), and he's building a case to target Alito for the Dobbs leak.
Fine. I certainly wouldn't put it past him to leak that.
But the reality is, he's not the first Justice to leak and he won't be the last. It's part of the SC process, all the Justices know it and they should have ways to pre-empt and cope.

Then say leaks are just fine and dandy. Don’t say they are impeachable if it is a liberal but no big deal if it is a conservative, which the Republican position on everything. What we know is Schenke received leaked information about the Hobby Lobby decision that turned out to be true and he knew who the source was. The circumstances and motivation were similar for Hobbs so why not start by investigating the guy who has the motive and is likely to have leaked before?

I am not the poster who said leaks were impeachable. Neither are they fine and dandy. It's just a pesky side activity of the Supreme Court, given the stakes, and they should be kept to a minimum. That means having some consequences for Justices who get too close to interested parties, and it means consequences for Justices who leak.

Unfortunately, there really is no mechanism provided in the Constitution that's in the middle ground. Perhaps we need to change that. Also, I think the Justices end up getting quite bonded to each other (even across the political spectrum), so I don't think one would rat out the other. It's likely some know already. None of them have said anything, because you know what? Next time, they might leak.

The GOP stole a seat and nominated two unqualified justices.

If a left-leaning justice did all of the same crap as Thomas I’d certainly be pushing for impeachment. Non-disclosure of income, not recusing himself, “best friend” with someone trying to reverse the election results, etc.

They blatantly lied and threw out stare decisis to push an extremist religious beliefs.

Roberts looks the other way to all of this. He lost all credibility.

Illegitimate.

Nope. The point stands. You'd have no problem with this court if the majority was liberal and decisions went the way you insist they should. You simply can't bear having a conservative majority. Continue throwing those tantrums!

NP. Would you admit that stonewalling Merrick Garland for months - because “election coming up” - and then slamming ACB through in weeks (because “election coming up”) is a bit hypocritical? Or do you actually believe that those situations were consistent in policy?

Yes, I am! I stated as much earlier in the thread. I’m all for an investigation and will be eagerly awaiting its results. A random anonymous internet poster making some claim is about as believable as a random preacher.

A reporter at the NYT isn’t a random anonymous internet poster.

And someone else telling someone that they absolutely don’t want something in email is highly suggestive of something deeply improper.

Nope. It's the standard GOP playbook. Say the left is doing it and then they do it themselves.

And, of course, your response is typical GOP as well. Lie, lie, lie. If you say it over and over, it becomes true, right?

Nope. Give it up.

I always find it so funny that the party that caters to the rich and powerful has the audacity to call Democrats elitists. "Elitist" in GOP speak means educated, thoughtful, compassionate. Can't have that. Might divert some of the money from the rich. Gotta keep the base ignorant.

Such hypocrisy.
