Samuel Alito Gets Remarkably Candid in Secret Audio Recording
Embattled U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito was thrust into the middle of yet another controversy Monday when Rolling Stone published remarkably candid audio of him talking about the battle between America’s ideological poles—citing “fundamental” differences between the two sides that he says “can’t be compromised.”
“It’s not like you are going to split the difference,” he said of his beliefs on the increasingly factional battle between Democrats and Republicans.
He made the remarks at the Supreme Court Historical Society’s annual dinner on June 3, part of a secretly recorded conversation with Lauren Windsor, a documentary filmmaker and reporter who approached the justice “as though she were a religious conservative” after joining the organization under her real name, she told Rolling Stone.
