Alito on Lost Friendships

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito Reveals He Lost Friendships Over Major Rulings

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has revealed that he lost friendships over decisions, including that overturning Roe v. Wade four years ago required courage for those in the majority due to its consequences. Speaking to CBS News, Alito also addressed concerns over criticism from former US Presidents Joe Biden and Donald Trump. He has been a key right-leaning voice on gun rights, executive power, and abortion. His majority opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, which overturned the federal constitutional right to abortion, will likely be a defining moment in his Supreme Court run. Alito's comments come at a time when he, his fellow Supreme Court justices, and others in lower courts have faced increased threats to their safety.
