0:00It's April 18th. You're listening to Entertainment and Celebrity News today, AI-powered Entertainment coverage. A new book called Alito by Fox contributor Molly Hemingway drops a bombshell on Supreme Court drama from 2022. It claims Justice Elena Kagan lost it on Justice Stephen Breyer, screaming so loud after the Dobbs opinion leak that folks said the wall shook. This happened behind closed doors in May, right when the court was divided over overturning Roe v. Wade. Alito had urged the liberal justices to wrap their dissent faster because of real security threats from the leak. Breyer seemed open to helping out his colleagues at risk, but Kagan pushed back hard, not wanting to rush for the majority side. Protests hit conservative justices Holmes hard, with crowds showing up despite a law against it. Attorney General Merrick Garland sent marshals for protection, but caught heat for not arresting picketers. Things got scary. An armed suspect got navned near Brett Kavanaugh's place, later pleading guilty to attempted

The final Dobbs ruling dropped June 24th, five to four on Roe, and six to three upholding Mississippi's 15-week ban. Hemingway's interviews paint a picture of deep fractures, even among liberals, amid leaks that sparked vandalism on pregnancy centers and churches. It all highlights how that leaked ramped up risks and exposed the court's raw attentions still echoing today.
