Before the Supreme Court’s 2022 decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which overturned the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling on abortion access, Justice Samuel Alito was rarely the center of political and media attention. But after Alito authored the majority opinion in Dobbs, he found an extraordinary level of attention suddenly aimed at him.
Mollie Hemingway has penned a vigorous new biography on Alito, “Alito: The Justice Who Reshaped the Supreme Court and Restored the Constitution.” Her book offers a fascinating glimpse into the thoughtful man who unexpectedly changed history from the nation’s highest court.
