So yes, Alito is clearly targeted in this article, and with substantive indirect evidence.

Also, Schenke looks completely moronic. He says he now realizes how banning abortion hurts women. What's the real reason he turned his coat?

Yeah, I was wondering about that. He does sound really, really sleazy.
Something else happened. He didn't just see the light.

Wow. Neither were awful, much less "illegitimate." Amazing that you STILL can't bring yourself to get over it.

Merrick Garland should be on the SCOTUS except for that puss-hole Mitch, who held up his nomination until the POS Cheato was in office. Then the far-right GOP Federalist Society judges were given to POS Cheato to nominate, and the GOP crammed them in as fast as possible. Three righties on the court, all of whom lied about stare decisis w/r/t Roe v Wade, which they overturned despite overwhelming public support for legal abortion.

These justices are not technically illegitimate, as you point out, but they should be impeached for lying. And Thomas, who only got his job because he's black, should be impeached for refusing to recuse himself on POS Cheato matters that his wife was heavily involved in, including the Jan. 6 insurrection.

The Roberts Court is a failure and has completely lost the respect of the US public.

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.

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.

He also said Roe was settled law. Guess what? He lied! If he was willing to lie in a confirmation hearing, what makes you think he’d have a problem lying to a journalist? Lying for Jesus is a thing; Scummy Alito absolutely thinks he should lie.

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.

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