Your opinion of the clerks I can buy. Believing kagan and the wise latina are NOT giving the dem’s and this administration the inside scoop? Not buying that. They are party members first, justices second.
What can the possible benefit be if there is a leak? Weigh that against what will become of the reputation of the leaker when (not if) it is known there is a leak?
Leaking anything is meaningless unless the info can be used to advantage a and I’m not seeing how, if it has been leaked and it is favorable to Obama they have used it to their advantage or if unfavorable how they could use that to their advantage. This is only heating up now because we are so close to the decision and the media wants to drive the narrative and milk it for all it’s worth.
Personally I don’t see any upside for Obama since the law ids unfavorable to a sizable majority of the public and a vote to keep it intact in the face of Romney promising to unwind it if elected will help him. If it is struck down entirely or in part it will signify a major loss for the Administration. Their claiming a victory if it is upheld is meaningless just because the majority of Americans don’t want the law anyway. Besides that it takes away the ability for Obama to run against the “activist” USSC.
