that if there s someone that s like this thing, it was probably justice alito at this point. do you concur with that? well i think if past is prologue and if the first leak was attributable to justice alito, then it stands to reason why people would think that he s also responsible for the second link, but i would underscore the leak isn t the problem. the problem is that this is a justice who said to the wall street journal, nearly questioning the supreme court s legitimacy crosses a line. but praying in your chambers with people who have a real business before the court does not cross a line. that takes incredible cheat to look the people of the united states in the face and say, you can t question this court and you can t question what we do even though what we are doing crosses so many lines. and what do when you hear the reporting about what s happened in the 2014 hobby lobby decision, i mean we know what s happened with dobbs, do you feel like there are other decisions the
dobbs decision. people believe that the court is highly politicized. they believe that the dobbs decision was not a function of law but rather a function of the changed personnel on this court that we went in one year from being a 5-4 conservative majority to a 6-3 super majority. he knows that. he could not have been happy about this. whether he can actually take steps to do something, whether he can police this conservative super majority that he is the head of, that is a different story entirely. we have seen him basically hobbled in the face of these five justices who seem bent on doing what they like and not what the justice wants. and when you talk about justices bent on doing what they like, the impunity with which justice alito appears to have been operating not only this purported leak of the 2014 hobby lobby decision, but potentially the dobbs leak. i think everybody thinks if there is someone that leaked this thing, it was probably justice alito at this point. do you concu
and if the first leak was a tributable to justice aleet yo, alito, i understand why they think he is associated with this. the leak is not the problem. this is a justice that said to the wall street journal that merely questioning the supreme court s legitimacy crosses a line. but praying in your chambers with people who have real business before the court does not cross a line. that takes incredible cheek to look the people of the united states in the face and say you can t question this court and you can t question what we do even though what we re doing crosses so many lines. and when you hear the reporting about what happened in the 2014 hobby lobby decision, we know what happened with dobbs, do you feel there are other decisions the court has made that should be revisited to see if anything untoward was happening behind the scenes? again this campaign of influence, i think, puts a question mark over everything. everything has an asterisk. who is lobbying the court? we don
this goes back to citizens united when alito, mr. fact resistant samuel alito is out there telling the president of the united states, barack obama, not true, when obama is explaining exactly how terrible his hobby lobby decision will end up being. so this goes back a long way. and i think all of it lays at the feet of john roberts. joy, here, i brought a prop. i wrote down all of the ethics rules john roberts has promulgated since 2005. it s it right there. quickly, here is john roberts response to me too. that s that. here s what john roberts says about whether or not your spouse can participate in an insurrection right here. this is the roberts court. this corruption is its legacy. you could add one more thing, because they also lie. first of all, the other piece of it is that it s clear that the leaks are designed to allow the right wing infrastructure to do the pr in advance of them ripping away these rights and sending us back to the 19th
alito and his wife. the new york times reviewed a strain of emails and conversations that seemed to support his claims. the hobby lobby decision was the conservative court s first major signal that it was willing to pursue an aggressively political right-wing religious agenda when it comes to reproductive rights. and we all know how that ended. justice alito issued a statement in response to the claims, writing the allegation that the wrights were told of the outcome of the decision in the hobby lobby case or the authorship of the opinion by the court is completely false. it s unknown whether he issued the statement while twirling a sinister mustache, but beating the hand that extinguished roe v. wade empowered alito. it overturned half a century of precedent, called roe egregiously wrong and a weak argument. he cited centuries old common law, categorizing a woman who received an abortion after quickening as a murderess and then he took a victory lap.
