Dark money groups have been working together with ProPublica, a journalism outlet, to publish damaging articles about conservative Supreme Court Justices. This is an attempt to undermine the court's impartiality.
The left-wing news outlet ProPublica has been attacking Samuel Alito, the Supreme Court justice who authored the draft opinion that overturned Roe v. Wade and reinstated abortion in the states. The group has released baseless and false allegations about his financial and conflicts of interest.
In response to the smears that have been made against him, Justice Alito decided to put an end to them in a pre-emptive op-ed in The Wall Street Journal.
In response to the media outlet's claims, Justice Alito released a statement saying that the allegations are false and misleading. The two charges that ProPublica made against him are that he should have recused himself from certain cases involving Paul Singer, and he was required to disclose certain gifts.
In his statement, Justice Alito provided a comprehensive defense of his reputation, stating that the charges against him are untrue and unsubstantiated. He also noted that liberal justices have never been the victims of smear campaigns like these.
This is the latest example of how the left tries to undermine the conservative majority on the Supreme Court. It's clear that they will continue with their efforts to push their radical agenda, even if it involves using shady funding sources.
It is very important that Supreme Court justices like Alito defend their reputation and not be intimidated by left-wing groups that are trying to smear them. He has the courage to stand up to these kinds of attacks.
Justice Alito demolishes a coming @propublica smear job with superb oped. These baseless smears are meant to undermine Court because it is no longer doing Left’s bidding. It won’t work. @propublica gets funding from major Lefty donors & is a cog in leftwing smear machine. https://t.co/EG642WvEnp
