.Jordan_S_Rubin: Thursday's Supreme Court ethics hearing leaves the issue of an alleged Alito leak unresolved.
When it comes to the alleged Alito leak, Thursday’s hearing didn’t come closer to sorting out the “he said, they said.”
But Wright’s explanation to the Times has been one of the weirdest parts of this latest court crisis, which extends well beyond the alleged leak, to the broader infiltration operation. The Times reported: That didn’t happen. Instead, the only hearing witness involved in the alleged leak was Schenck, leaving Democrats to bolster him while Republicans like Jordan tried to tarnish him.began by asking Schenck, “Did Gayle Wright really tell you that?”“Justice Alito said he didn’t tell her,” Jordan countered. “She said she didn’t tell him. But you’re sure she told you?”Rather, the ranking member focused on a book the witness wrote.
