Alito leak claim under review

Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), the chairman of the [Senate Judiciary] committee, said in a statement Saturday night that the allegations were serious and “highlight once again the inexcusable ‘Supreme Court loophole’ in federal judicial ethics rules.”

“It is unacceptable that members of the highest court in the land are exempted from the judicial code of ethics when wealthy special interests are spending millions of dollars in dark money to influence the Court’s decisions,” Durbin said.

[...]

Two other lawmakers, Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D- R.I.) and and Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Ga.), have also promised to investigate the alleged leak, calling the Times report “another black mark on the Supreme Court’s increasingly marred ethical record.”

[...]

The New York Times reported on Saturday that the Rev. Rob Schenck, who used to lead an evangelical nonprofit, was informed of the outcome of the 2014 case Burwell v. Hobby Lobby weeks before it was publicly announced.

[...]

According to the Times, Schenck has sent a letter to Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts informing him of the 2014 Hobby Lobby leak, but he has not received any response.
