Justice Alito Accused of Being SCOTUS 'Leaker' After New Report: 'Disgrace'

[ck4829]

Supreme Court Associate Justice Samuel Alito has been called a "disgrace" after a new report revealed that he allegedly leaked a draft opinion related to a Supreme Court decision in 2014. The conservative judge has denied the report.

"The Supreme Court Leaker - for Dobbs and Hobby Lobby - was Samuel Alito. Alito is a disgrace to this nation and as dangerous as any terrorist. He must be forced off the Court," political commentator Keith Olbermann tweeted on Saturday.

Meanwhile, New York Representative Mondaire Jones tweeted: "Today's well-sourced NY Times article strongly suggests Justice Alito leaked the 2014 opinion in Hobby Lobby, and describes a conspiracy by the far-right donor class to influence the Supreme Court Justices. The House Judiciary Committee must investigate this while we still can."

Olbermann and Jones referenced a Saturday report by The New York Times that stated Alito was allegedly responsible for leaking the majority opinion in the 2014 case of Burwell v. Hobby Lobby.

Is Roberts a cover story for these cretins?

3. Need to start impeachment asap

The fact that the leak was in 2014 is irrelevant

7. Seems Reasonable

There should be no statute of limitations for a lifetime appointment.

4. I've always assumed that it was either Alito or Thomas.

It was clearly an attempt to lock in the vote by making sure that anti-choice activists knew who to blame if the opinion was changed.

6. That may be a great prefix to use for the Justices that deserve it.

Disgraced Justice Samuel Alito
Disgraced Justice Clarence Thomas
