In a new recording, Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito lashes out at the news organization ProPublica, describing the news organization’s Pulitzer Prize-winning coverage of the Supreme Court as driven by political animus, insisting: “They don’t like our decisions.”.

Alito was captured on tape at a June 3 event hosted by the Supreme Court Historical Society.

When ProPublica reached out to Alito for comment in June 2023 for its story, he declined to comment.

Windsor has released two additional recordings from the Supreme Court Historical Society — both of which were provided as exclusives to Rolling Stone.
