Rev. Robert Schenck, who told Chief Justice John Roberts that a 2014 decision by Justice Samuel Alito leaked in advance, admitted that a story from his book may not be true.
A whistleblower who claims that he was tipped off to the decision in a majorcase before it was published in 2014 admitted Thursday that an incident he described in his new book"may not have" actually happened — then he was played evidence proving it did not.
Schenck explained at the hearing that it had been court practice not to include titles like reverend in the names of court cases, but that he and his brother made a point to include it due to the case having to do with religious liberty. Jordan then called the whole incident into question. "Well, you're pretty darned specific here," Jordan said, noting that Schenck even included the case number in his book's account of what happened. "You made it a big deal about it's the first time it's ever happened. I'm just asking, did it really happen?"
