Alito mum on court tension

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito is not giving anything away about possible strife among his colleagues since his draft opinion striking down Roe v. Wade was leaked last week.

After giving a virtual speech at George Mason University’s Antonin Scalia Law School Thursday night, Alito was asked whether he and his fellow justices were still on good terms following the disclosure.

“This is a subject I told myself I wasn’t going to talk about today regarding, you know — given all the circumstances,” Alito responded, according to The Washington Post.

“The court right now, we had our conference this morning, we’re doing our work. We’re taking new cases, we’re headed toward the end of the term, which is also a frenetic time as we get our opinions out,” he

added.
