What I read is a story about a conversation at a dinner the long time pro life crusader DID NOT ATTEND. In the legal world, this is called hearsay and is inadmissible in court. I also see an undated alleged email to Roberts. There is no proof this was ever sent. I can create an email on my computer too.

I see a man taking credit for his efforts based on the courtroom questioning which indicated which way the court would go.

Both Alito and the person who was actually at the dinner have both denied any conversation about the case.

As far as claims they lied. Roe WAS settled law when asked. They didn’t lie at all. All of the justices on the current court have refused to comment on cases that MAY come before the court as they should.

This screaming they lied they lied is pretty ridiculous.

Thank you. 100% this. The nuttiness on this forum is something to behold.

Um No. Stare Decisis says you hold to precedent unless there is a good legal reason not to. Stare Decisis is one reason why Roe was reaffirmed for the last 50 years, multiple times by both R and D justices. These partisan hacks who call themselves judges dispensed with it for one reason only: because they could. And they knew they would. Thus, the lie. And, make not mistake, they did lie.

Yup. Blatantly lied.

Alito denies ever even discussing ANY case with anyone outside of the court. Amazing how desperately some of you want these garbage stories to be true.

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

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.
DP

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.

Amazing that you continue to project your own issues into others. Look at this thread - if enough LWNJs keep repeating nonsense, maybe your rubes will believe you! Same old same old. Let us know when this story has actually been proven. Not interested in speculation or claims.

There you go again. Give it up. We all see through the RWNJ lies. The only rubes are on the right. The stuff you guys will believe and repeat is...unbelievable!

I have to agree with you. Alito and the other judicial activists (that was an early example of conservative projection, only back then it wasn’t common knowledge what they were admitting to) have no problem lying or doing anything else if it will get them their way. They no judicial philosophy.

Just don’t tell them that their blowing up the Court’s reputation is bad, they get very very upset about that.

Will you say the same if Ketanji Brown Jackson votes to overturn Heller? She made the same statements about Heller being the law of the land.

Heller was a complete reversal of every other previous interpretation of the Second Amendment.

And she gave the same statements about Heller that these other justices did about Roe, and supposedly it is perjury for them to now overturn Roe. Will you say the same if she votes to overturn Heller, or are you just a partisan hack?

To call this story uncorroborated is to overstate its credibility. Rob Schenck, a pastor who has since turned against his former evangelical allies, claims he heard from a woman who heard from Justice Alito at a dinner party in 2014 about the pending opinion in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby, a religious liberty case. Justice Alito denies leaking anything, and the woman denies hearing about it.

But this summer, after the Dobbs abortion decision, Mr. Schenck decided that what he claims to have learned in advance of the Hobby Lobby decision should be shared with the world. He wrote to Chief Justice John Roberts with concern about the gossip. When the Chief didn’t respond to Mr. Schenck’s satisfaction, he turned to the media, and then Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse piled on.

Mr. Whitehouse is famous for his tenacious digging into Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s high-school yearbook. He and Georgia Rep. Hank Johnson have written to the Chief demanding that the Court investigate this alleged ethical breach or they will do it.

This is another case of political intimidation in the service of undermining public confidence in the Court. The accusation is second-hand hearsay from a politically motivated source. The woman and her late husband did attend a dinner party at the home of Justice Alito and his wife after donating money to the Supreme Court Historical Society. But that’s the extent of any corroboration.

The real reason Democrats are upset is because they’ve lost the Court as a backstop legislature for policies they can’t get through Congress.

You lose credibility any time you cite an opinion piece. The WSJ's news division is respectable, but it's previously pro-Trump and extreme right-wing editorial slant is well-known.

Loser.
