What was Justice Alito's professional background prior to his appointment to the Supreme Court?
Before serving on the Supreme Court, Justice Alito served as a federal prosecutor. Additionally, during the Reagan administration, he served as a Justice Department attorney, during which time he argued 12 cases before the justices. These experiences shaped his view that oral arguments are not "theater" but are intended to assist the decision-making process of the Court.

What are the core principles of Justice Alito's judicial philosophy as presented in his book "So Ordered: An Originalist’s View of the Constitution, the Court and Our Country"?
The book defends "practical originalism," which involves applying the Constitution as the framers set it out rather than inventing rights not supported by the text and history. Alito argues that while getting to a majority of five is important, a justice should never sacrifice a principle or adopt a legal rule they believe is wrong just to reach that majority. He also emphasizes religious liberty as a component of human dignity and warns against a "new moral code" that labels people with traditional beliefs as bigots.

How did Justice Alito describe the impact of the 2022 leak of the Dobbs draft and the subsequent security threats to the Court?
Alito described the leak as a "shock" that cast a "pall" over the Court because the responsible party remains unknown. He argued that the leak was intended to change the decision and made the justices targets for assassination. He cited a specific instance in June 2022 where a man attempted to assassinate Justice Kavanaugh in Maryland with a variety of weapons, including a gun and a knife, in an effort to change the outcome of the case. As a result, the justices now travel with protection and have officers at their homes.
