Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito received a standing ovation from a hall full of lawyers at a black-tie dinner on Nov. 10 for authoring the landmark legal decision that overturned Roe v. Wade, the 1973 high court ruling that legalized abortion nationwide.

The court ruled 5–4 in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization on June 24 that there’s no constitutional right to abortion and returned the regulation of abortion to the states. The decision prompted protests at the justices’ homes, a foiled attempt to assassinate Justice Brett Kavanaugh, and targeted harassment of the justices in public by left-wing groups.
