Alito says he has hunch who leaked Dobbs decision

Alito said the leak was an unprecedented breach and repeated that the 2022 ruling made the justices targets for assassination.

  • Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito warned on Sunday that a "concerted effort" to intimidate the nation's highest court threatens its long-term standing during an interview on Fox News Sunday.
  • Alito told host Shannon Bream that Democrats' calls to expand the court are a political attempt to influence the justices' decisions, rejecting growing reform proposals.
  • A Gallup poll from last month shows only 34 percent of Americans approve of the High Court, with 65 percent of Republicans approving versus 12 percent of Democrats and 31 percent of independents.
  • Addressing retirement speculation, Alito told Bream he feels "bemused" by rumors and called it "foolhardy to make a calculation" about his future service on the bench.
  • Critics have argued the court's emergency docket, sometimes called the "shadow docket," allows major policy changes without public scrutiny, while ethics concerns have fueled demands for stricter disclosure requirements.
