Supreme Court Justice addresses Roe vs. Wade leak

(KYMA, KECY/ CNN) - Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito is calling the leak of his draft opinion overturning Roe versus Wade last spring a “grave betrayal."

Alito said during an appearance at the Heritage Foundation on Tuesday that the leak put the lives of some of the high court’s conservative justices at risk - also noting officials have charged a man with attempting to murder Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

Alito did not offer an update on the leak investigation, but his comments suggest the court has yet to find out who breached its inner sanctum.

Alito’s comments come as the justices have already met for the first sitting of the new term, which included significant cases on voting rights and the environment.

Later in October, the Supreme Court will take on two cases concerning whether universities and colleges can continue to take race into consideration as a factor for admissions in order to improve diversity.
