Bombshell: NYT story suggests Alito is the leaker of Dobbs decision

[Anonymous]

I barely pay attention to politics and heard this theory when it was initially leaked.

Where do you all get your news? I thought that DC people were supposed to be in the know about political news and rumors.

Snort. You act like NYT is the Enquirer.

One of us will be eating their words. And it won't be me.

Umm. It is not a rumor. This is a guy making a claim about the Hobby Lobby decision. He may very well be proved to be a liar and his story found to be untrue. But this isn’t a rumor in that it’s sourced.

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.

The emails at the time back up the story.

Get your head out of your behind.

Prior bad acts are a good indicator. It was strongly suggested that a conservative leaked Dobbs to lock the other justices in. He should resign in shame.

Because LWNJs are “strongly suggesting” (accusing) he did this? No, sorry. That’s not how this works. You don’t have any actual proof. You don’t just get to point at people you dislike and demand they resign because of a rumor. Idiot.

Oh, ok. The lie.

This Schenck dude sounds like a schmuck. The woman he accuses of digging for information and passing it on to him totally denies ever doing so. 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."

I read the Washington Post’s version, very similar to the one above, of why Wright and Alito claim they didn’t do anything wrong.

Wright’s story for why she told Schenck no emails at one point is that she was so excited, from a gossip/historical standpoint, that she got to ride in Alito’s car. If that were the case, for provenance and proof she’d be emailing it and writing in letters to everyone the particulars of the ride.

They’re lying. Alito leaked that opinion and he probably leaked Dobbs, too. Like any order white collar criminal, if you get away with it, you don’t quit committing the crime.

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.

Alito, Kavanaugh, Gorsuch and Barrett are all political hacks. At least Gorsuch is qualified to be on the court. The others aren't.

This has to be among the lowest times in the history of the court. Almost as bad as the Taney court and the Dred Scott era.

+1 Why do people think they can comment with any kind of authority on stories they don't bother to read?

Significantly more than that any of the liberal justices or their clerks leaked. Somehow that didn’t stop all the MAGAs from publishing clerks names and harassing them.

I can't figure out why Thomas has not been impeached. Seems like a no brainer.

He's African American and he will scream "high tech lynching." It worked in his SC hearings.

If true he needs to resign.
