Conservative lawyers hail Alito for abortion ruling
Four Supreme Court justices were in attendance as the Federalist Society celebrated its 40th anniversary with gala.

"Conservative lawyers erupted in thunderous applause and delivered a standing ovation to Justice Samuel Alito on Thursday night for the 5-4 opinion he authored earlier this year overturning a federal constitutional right to abortion that had been recognized for nearly half a century.
Alito was one of four justices who attended a black-tie gala at Union Station in Washington celebrating the 40th Anniversary of the Federalist Society, the right-leaning lawyers’ group that has become instrumental in grooming and vetting candidates to be nominated to the federal judiciary by Republican presidents."
