One Supreme Court justice ridiculed Prince Harry’s criticism of Roe V. Wade.
In a recent speech to the United Nations when he attended its headquarters in New York to mark Nelson Mandela Day, the prince attacked the Supreme Court’s recent decision, calling it “a rolling back of constitutional rights.”
Harry is being rebuked by a Supreme Court justice involved in the decision. At a conference on religious laws in Rome, Judge Samuel Alito spoke out about his surprise at the reaction of a number of foreign leaders. “felt perfectly fine commenting on American law. One of these was former [UK] prime minister Boris Johnson, but he paid the price. But others are still in office.”
Then he spoke sarcastically about recent events:
“What really wounded me was when the Duke of Sussex addressed the United Nations and seemed to compare the decision, whose name may not be spoken, with the Russian attack on Ukraine.”
This isn’t the first time the Duke of Sussex, who moved to America two years with his wife Meghan, has made his opinions known on the country’s legal rulings.
Harry spoke previously in a podcast interview and described the First Amendment, which guarantees freedom of speech, as “bonkers,”However, he also said that “I don’t want to start sort of going down the First Amendment route because that’s a huge subject and one in which I don’t understand because I’ve only been here a short period of time.”
