The Alito Court: A rare interview with the influential Supreme Court justice

Justice Samuel Alito discussed his opinion in the Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade, the leaked draft and its aftermath, same-sex marriage rights and why he's not retiring yet.

What the coverage shows

CBS News and 60 Minutes both frame the package as a rare sit-down with Justice Samuel Alito, and both extracts center his comments on the Supreme Court and criticism from political leaders. CBS News’ earlier items foreground Dobbs, the leaked draft, same-sex marriage rights and his not retiring, while its later headline emphasizes his claim that the Court is not part of any political movement. 60 Minutes uniquely adds outside reaction from CBS legal contributor Jessica Levinson and mentions the court’s upcoming term.
