Supreme Court Justices Alito and Roberts on Political Polarization
Secret recordings published showed Supreme Court Justices Alito and Roberts discussing the political polarization of the court, with Alito predicting no easy solution. Alito appeared to embrace his role as a partisan, while Roberts denied the court's political polarization and the U.S. being inherently Christian. Recording activist Lauren Windsor posed as a conservative to elicit responses from the justices. Alito and Thomas faced accusations of impropriety related to accepting gifts from a conservative donor.
