Samuel Alito’s dirty deeds at the Supreme Court are making headlines again, here’s why

Justice Samuel Alito is now facing allegations made under oath that he wrongfully leaked the 2014 Hobby Lobby decision to a stealth religious figure intentionally. Rev. Rob Schenck, former head of the action group Faith & Action, testified before the Judiciary Committee that Alito indeed told a stealth missionary before anyone else. The initial allegation made weeks ago has sent shockwaves across America amid concern that a sitting Justice is in fact compromised.

The hearing followed reports by Politico and The New York Times about Schenck’s efforts.

“[Our missionaries] might host justices or their spouses for meals at restaurants, private clubs, or their homes — and sometimes the justices reciprocated,” Schenck said. “The Hobby Lobby leak happened at one of these arrangements.”
