Sheldon Whitehouse and Rep.
"Who is responsible for policing the relationship between the Supreme Court and the Supreme Court Historical Society to ensure that paid membership in the Society is not used as a means of gaining undue influence?" the lawmakers asked. "Justice Alito has said that neither he nor Mrs. Alito told [Faith & Action donors] the Wrights about the outcome in the Hobby Lobby case," Torrey said."The justice never detected any effort on the part of the Wrights to obtain confidential information or to influence anything he did in either an official or personal capacity.
Torrey's dismissal of Whitehouse and Johnson's concerns and his refusal to launch a probe made it clear that congressional committees tasked with overseeing the courts"must respond with an actual investigation," Kang said.
