Because he's done it before https://www.axios.com/2022/11/29/supreme-court-alito-ethics-2014-leak https://www.axios.com/2022/11/29/supreme-court-alito-ethics-.

  I'm in broad agreement with you, Alito more than likely leaked it himself, which is why no leaker will be found, the justices are above scrutiny. Absent finding another person who we can prove did it, I'll hold on to that idea.

    It was to prevent Roberts or Kavanaugh from getting cold feet.
    • LarryMullins 4y ago
      That certainly makes a lot more sense than the "leaked as a distraction against.... unspecified" theory.
      • saboot 4y ago
        I left it unspecified as I thought it was obvious it was to distract from allowing states to make it a crime to terminate a pregnancy in all cases.
        • fmajid 4y ago
          If Alito was indeed the leaker, that is an outcome he would cheer for, not one he would try to prevent.
        • LarryMullins 4y ago
          That doesn't make any sense, both are about abortion. Getting people to talk and think about one will naturally draw attention to the other.

      > It was to prevent Roberts or Kavanaugh from getting cold feet. why wouldn't it embolden them to prove the leaker wrong, making the wage of their sin irrelevance? It's just not a strong case. It's as least as likely it leaked from the left to create a political firestorm. We don't know.

    it's fine that you have the opinion you do, but to say there is a likelihood from zero evidence is a bit silly.
• tomcam 4y ago
  I couldn’t find any evidence in that article? Just Alito and the Court denying he was responsible?

    > The big picture: Rev. Rob Schenck, a former anti-abortion leader, previously told the New York Times that he learned of court's 2014 decision on Burwell v. Hobby Lobby weeks in advance, prompting a review from the Senate Judiciary Committee. That's evidence. Testimony is evidence.

      An accusation is not proof and to top it off, doesn't prove it was Alito.
      • ceejayoz 4y ago
        Agreed. There is evidence. There is not proof.

  Your article states that one person says he did and two people say he did not. The guy who claimed it is a known liar. https://www.theepochtimes.com/reverend-who-accused-supreme-court-justice-of-leaking-decision-lied-in-book-hearing_4912674.html https://www.theepochtimes.com/reverend-who-accused-supreme-c...

    While we're worrying about that, the Epoch Times are similarly known liars. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Epoch_Times https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Epoch_Times

  Did I miss something? The article claims Alito did it, but Alito never admitted it and no investigation came to the conclusion he did.
