“Those Who Are Not With Me, Are Ideological And Against Me”

'They don’t like our decisions': Justice Alito trashes ProPublica in new leaked audiohttps://t.co/Fen5KNIKwF

In the audio, recorded June 3 at an event hosted by the Supreme Court Historical Society, the questioner asks the justice why he feels the nation's highest court has been "attacked" and "targeted by the media" in recent years. 

Alito replied: “They don’t like our decisions, and they don’t like how they anticipate we may decide some cases that are coming up. That’s the beginning of the end of it,” he said. 

The justice added:" “There are groups that are very well-funded by ideological groups that have spearheaded these attacks. That’s what it is.” 

When asked to explain further, Alito said, "ProPublica gets a lot of money, and they have spent a fortune investigating Clarence Thomas, for example. You know, everything he’s ever done in his entire life.” 

"They look for any little thing they can find, and they try to make something out of it," he said.

“They look for any little thing they can find, and they try to make something out of it.”

A fair description of what judges do. Well, according to ideologues.

Raskin: Under what circumstances would a Supreme Court justice be accepting millions of dollars in foreign travel or paid tuition or a recreational vehicle? We want a $50 gift ban for justices. They make $300k a year. Pay for your own lunch and vacation pic.twitter.com/LT7NC0jMKM

AOC: Just look at Justice Thomas whose corruption is almost comical. Secret trips to retreats, international trips on super yachts. Here in Congress, we are forbidden from accepting gifts that exceed $50. But Justice Thomas has received $4 million in gifts. pic.twitter.com/WAl9ecXEnW

Damned calculating ideologues.

Baldwin: They stopped services in Wisconsin on the day that Dobbs came out. Patients who were in the waiting room had to be told that, because of what the Supreme Court had done, services could not be provided to them. There were many stories of people who needed abortion care… pic.twitter.com/3n3N9ZkZ7K
