After a pause, he added: “The court right now, we had our conference this morning, we’re doing our work. Gorsuch is a “colleague and friend,” Alito said, and someone he is happy to have on the court. If Scalia said Alito was wrong, “I would take that evaluation in good humor, and learn from the exchange,” the justice said.
