A bombshell new report out this week by the New York Times has revealed a dangerous tidbit many have missed. According to the report, the Times claims that the infamous court leaker is none other than Supreme Court Justice Alito himself. His leaks allegedly date back to 2014 when the court infamously ruled in the Hobby Lobby decision.
For those that recall, that decision surrounded the question as to whether or not private employers essentially had to provide things like birth control via health insurance. Alito allegedly leaked the finalized opinion to wealthy donors before the decision was made public and then lied about having done so.
The stunning claim comes by way of Reverend Rob Schenck who revealed to the Times that after a pal had been dining with Alito — he learned of the decision at that time. It was neither known to the public or pretty much anyone else what decision had been made. It has since led to questions as to whether or not Alito may have played a part in the leak of a similar decision involving Roe v Wade before it was made public.
All of this allegedly was part of a master plan by the Wrights (the pal) to gain access or help gain access to the Supreme Court.
Rev claims that after Gayle Wright, a wealthy donor to one of his conservative action groups had dinner with Alito and his wife Martha Ann the decision was then leaked to him. It by far is an admission that a sitting Supreme Court justice may be one of the leakers behind some of the most consequential decisions in recent memory.
In his statement to ABC News, Alito said he “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 he’d be “shocked and offended if those allegations are true.”
