Well, yes, but Alito's statements are largely dicta. Remember, this was remanded to the lower courts, not a denial.
All of this "assumes" the lower court will not grant the plaintiffs any compensation, and, we just dont know that yet.
We wont know until the lower court complies with the Scotus remand order.
"Dicta" explantion:
What is a dicta in law? A remark, statement, or observation of a judge that is not a necessary part of the legal reasoning needed to reach the decision in a case. Although dictum may be cited in a legal argument, it is not binding as legal precedent, meaning that other courts are not required to accept it.
