☆ Supreme Court Rejects Challenge to Biden Administration’s Contacts With Social Media Companies
  + stars: | 2024-06-26 | by ( Adam Liptak | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
The Supreme Court handed the Biden administration a major practical victory on Wednesday, rejecting a challenge to its contacts with social media platforms to combat what administration officials said was misinformation. The court ruled that the states and users who had challenged the contacts had not suffered the sort of direct injury that gave them standing to sue. The decision, by a 6 to 3 vote, left fundamental legal questions for another day. “For months,” Justice Alito wrote, “high-ranking government officials placed unrelenting pressure on Facebook to suppress Americans’ free speech. Because the court unjustifiably refuses to address this serious threat to the First Amendment, I respectfully dissent.”

“I had nothing whatsoever to do with the flying of the flag,” Justice Alito wrote. “My wife and I own our Virginia home jointly,” the justice wrote. “She therefore has the legal right to use the property as she sees fit, and there were no additional steps that I could have taken to have the flag taken down more promptly." Justice Alito added that the “Appeal to Heaven” flag at his New Jersey beach house did not convey the meaning critics ascribed to it. “I was not aware of any connection between that historic flag and the ‘Stop the Steal Movement,’ and neither was my wife,” he wrote.

☆ Opinion | Justice Alito’s Blame-the-Wife Defense Never Goes Out of Style
  + stars: | 2024-05-20 | by ( Jennifer Weiner | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
In seeking to shift their own controversies onto their marital partners, Justice Samuel Alito and Senator Robert Menendez joined a tradition that extends across party lines and stretches back through the centuries. First up: Justice Alito, who was presented with photographs of an upside-down flag flying in front of his house. Justice Alito bravely, manfully, clearly announced to the world that his wife did it. “I had no involvement whatsoever in the flying of the flag,” Justice Alito told The Times, in an emailed statement. “It was briefly placed by Mrs. Alito in response to a neighbor’s use of objectionable and personally insulting language on yard signs.”

☆ Take My Wife, Please: For Political Damage Control, Just Blame Your Spouse
  + stars: | 2024-05-17 | by ( Rebecca Davis O Brien | Reid J. Epstein | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
It is a tale as old as Adam and Eve: A husband, faced with accusations of misconduct, blames the wife. It is also a time-honored, bipartisan political strategy. This week, Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. and Senator Bob Menendez of New Jersey pointed ringed fingers at their wives for episodes that have landed each man in political or legal trouble. The justice’s wife, Martha-Ann Alito, was in a feud with neighbors at the time over an anti-Trump sign, The Times reported. In the case of Mr. Menendez, a Democrat, it was his lawyer who did the finger pointing.

☆ Supreme Court Won’t Hear New Case on Race and School Admissions
  + stars: | 2024-02-20 | by ( Adam Liptak | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
The Supreme Court declined on Tuesday to hear a challenge to new admissions criteria at an elite public high school in Virginia that eliminated standardized tests, clearing the way for the use of a policy intended to diversify the school’s student body. As is its custom, the court gave no reasons for turning down the case. Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. issued a dissent, joined by Justice Clarence Thomas, that was harshly critical of an appeals court’s ruling in the case upholding the new criteria and rejecting the challengers’ argument that they unlawfully disadvantaged Asian Americans. The Supreme Court’s “willingness to swallow the aberrant decision below is hard to understand,” Justice Alito wrote. G. Roberts, quoted an earlier ruling that stated, “what cannot be done directly cannot be done indirectly.”

☆ The Public Has a Right to Know Who Leaked the Dobbs Draft
  + stars: | 2022-10-31 | by ( Alan M. Dershowitz | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Justice Samuel Alito stated last week that the leak of his draft opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization endangered the justices’ lives: “It gave people a rational reason to think they could prevent that from happening by killing one of us.” A man who was found heavily armed outside the home of Justice Brett Kavanaugh two weeks before the court decided Dobbs has been charged with attempted murder. The leak constituted “a grave betrayal of trust,” Justice Alito added. So why hasn’t the perpetrator been identified and punished?
