Alito says theory must be taken ‘seriously’ At an earlier stage of the case, three conservative justices, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch and Clarence Thomas, expressed some sympathy for the theory and said the case presented an “exceptionally important and recurring question of constitutional law.” The North Carolina Republicans had asked SCOTUS to grant an emergency stay of the lower court order.
