We know which spouse of which Justice leaked it. They just won't confirm it.

This is what I think, too. It isn't just minion they can blame and fire.

Could have used this information back when he was being confirmed.

Still 50/50 on which Justice it was. Personally, I am betting on Alito.

Honestly I don't even care who it was. They did us a favor by giving us a heads up about what these Jenks were going to do. Let the leaker go unpunished.

Not necessarily. The most likely cause of the leak was one of the conservative judges or their spouses and was done because they worried their majority was weakening or falling apart. They leaked the decision to ensure that the majority stayed put because the Court would never want to be seen as caving to public pressure and protests would get any equivocating judges to stick to their guns.

If they had not leaked the decision, the Court majority may have changed the decision substantially. It may not have changed the outcome of the cases itself, but it may have resulted in less strong reasoning invalidating Roe as a precedent and all of the subsequent cases build on the idea of an unwritten right to privacy in the Constitution.

I was under the impression that the leak had a significant effect on the midterms and that's why it was done. Maybe I am mistaken....

 

[MagnarTheGreat]

No the decision was coming out before the 2022 elections whether there was a leak or not. The decision itself was always going to be the major impact.

I’m mentally prepared for them to strike it down, but I’m pretty happy with Prelogar’s defense of the program. I don’t think anyone else could have done a better job. It’s obvious the SC came into this with their minds already made up.

Crazy stupid how much college prices have gone up.

 

[Teelie]

Anything a Democrat has endorsed the Republican SCOTUS will reject because they are politically biased and dropping the mask. They will find a way to let Republican agendas go through while denying anyone who doesn't fit their ideology suffer.

This is a (needed) band aid......fix the problem or we'll be dealing with this again a few years down the road.
