UPDATE: Chief Justice Roberts Reportedly Joined Liberal Justices in Abortion Ruling
The Gateway Pundit ^ | May 2, 2022 | Jim Hoft

The US Supreme Court reportedly voted to END Roe v Wade in a DRAFT OPINION by Justice Samuel Alito according to a report leaked to Politico this evening.

The draft opinion was leaked to the press – something that is dangerous and unprecedented. Of course, there are reports that the leaker is a liberal clerk who hopes to change the outcome of the case.

More news broke last night.

According to the report Chief Justice John Roberts sided with Democrats in the decision.

This is not a surprise considering Roberts’s liberal voting record.

This also gives Democrats a target. They now know which justices they need to harass and target.

Mediaite reported:

This is not the first Supreme Court leak in its history. There is an interesting thread on the history of leaks in the Supreme Court by law professor Jonathan Peters on Twitter. The leaks included a couple regarding the original Roe v. Wade decision.

I'm not excusing what happened here, of course, but just saying that this behavior is hardly unprecedented.

If true, this demonstrates how critical Trump’s appointments were.

What if the leaker is a Justice of the Supreme Court?

If it was a conservative they would be screaming treason and demanding he drop from the gallows.

If it was a liberal/Marxist/Communist they will hail him as a hero for women's rights.

All on the same day the movie, 2000Mules, proving the election was stolen was released nation wide.

I think I’d sleep just fine if this douche went to Cibolo Creek ranch for a short stay!

actually there is an underlying case here that Roberts would be in agreement with. So it would be 6 to 3 to let the law in “Mississipi?” stand that limits abortions after a certain number of weeks, but then he would separately disagree with overturning Roe.

Some people were saying a clerk alone leaking this could be almost treason level charges, so what would happen if a Supreme himself did this?

Timing of this is interesting. Roberts is siding with these justices in order to give D’s a fighting chance from the Karen coalition in November for mid-terms.

while I tried to defend her

There is no undoing her refusal to hear the election challenge and using "standing" to reject a election integrity case from 26 states. Does not matter how she votes from here on out, she is stained with that cowardliness or treachery forever. Our form of government has failed, period. The only fix would be to scrap it and start over. But that will never happen until we completely collapse. By the looks of things, that wont be much longer.

I don’t think Roberts leaked. The leak just shows him for the political maneuverer he is and it hurts the legitimacy of the court. He doesn’t want that legacy. He is a snake that does his work in the shadows.

Everybody I know has seen the pic of Roberts and his fire island friends with the cake and heard of that weird adoption of his kids. They have plenty on him and he seems completely corrupted.

If it was a justice who leaked they would certainly use a go between. Like a far left clerk.

If Roe v. Wade is over turned how will DemoRats control minorities in the Lib States and City’s?? Almost 80% of all abortions in NY city are minorities.

I strongly feel Roberts is hiding something or the LIBS are holding something over his head.... blackmail!

There is no blackmail. The only thing Roberts is (was) hiding is his true beliefs during his pre-nomination interviews and during his confirmation process. He pretended to be "right of center," but is really a leftist.

Well, we can quit whining about Mr. Irrelevant now.

Everyone needs to stop complaining about Roberts and START CELEBRATING ACB, Kegger, and Gorsuch.

And President Trump, who made this possible.

Roberts is one of the biggest phonies. How did no one spot him before he was nominated?
