Windsor asked the justice: "Why do you think the Supreme Court is being so targeted by the media these days?

Alito replied: "Well, I think it's a simple reason. They don't like our decisions. And they don't like how they anticipate we may decide some cases that are coming up. That's the beginning of the end of it, and there are groups that are vey well funded by ideological groups that have spearheaded these attacks. That's what it is."

Windsor asked: "Like who?"

Alito replied: "Pro-Publica. Pro-Publica gets a lot of money, and they have spent a fortune investigating Clarence Thomas, for example. You know everything he's ever done in his entire life, and they've done some of that to me, too. But the look for any little thing they can find, and they try to make something out of it. That's it. That's what it is."
