Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito spoke to students at the Franciscan University of Steubenville about the declining support for freedom of speech on college campuses. He specifically mentioned recent campus protests in response to events in Gaza and warned that support for freedom of speech and religion is in danger. Alito, who has served as an associate justice for a long time, has recently made headlines for his leaked draft opinion on the court’s decision in a significant case. Additionally, Justice Clarence Thomas addressed criticisms directed at his family during a judicial conference. Both justices have made public appearances outside of Washington, D.C., highlighting issues surrounding freedom of speech and attacks on personal beliefs.
