Ultra-conservative U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice known for authoring (and leaking) the majority decision against Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health, striking 50 years of the constitutional right to abortion. Currently embroiled in an ethics scandal around the acceptance of dark-money gifts designed to sway Supreme Court rulings.
Justice Samuel Alito expects the public to accept his claim of impartiality, even after news broke that a "Stop the Steal" flag was flying over his house. Steven Beschloss writes, "This all makes a mockery of Chief Justice John Roberts’ assertions that he cares about the credibility of the court and securing the public’s trust."
