CONGRESS MUST INVESTIGATE SAMUEL ALITO LEAK ALLEGATIONS

“The call is coming from inside the house at the Supreme Court.”

SAN FRANCISCO, CA (November 19) — New reports today allege that Justice Samuel Alito leaked the outcome of the Hobby Lobby case to right-wing donors.

Take Back the Court Action Fund released the following statement on behalf of its Executive Director, Sarah Lipton-Lubet, in response to the news:

“The call is coming from inside the house at the Supreme Court, and obviously the justices can no longer be trusted to police themselves. Congress has to step up to its duty as a co-equal branch and conduct a swift, thorough investigation into whether one of the justices is systemically leaking sensitive information to right-wing political allies.”
