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:

“Roberts is just another leftist BushBot.”

The name Bush continues to sully our nation. Thank God Trump stepped in to save us from either Hillary or Jeb!

“There is zero evidence that John Roberts is some rock-ribbed conservative being blackmailed into voting against his will. He didn’t “join” the liberal justices - he _is_ a liberal justice. This is what he is, and what George W gave us.”

I feel that a clerk would not leak anything - without the support of whomever they work for. A clerk has spent their entire academic life getting to that job. Its highly prestigious and a stepping stone to fortune and fame in their legal career. There is just too much at risk. I feel a SCOTUS judge had to be involved.

Gateway Pundit is about as accurate and reliable as Fauci. American Thinker is a close second for the “worst supposed conservative new media” award, with Washington Examiner a distant third.

More like a coward. He is so fearful of a violent leftist response over a SCOTUS decision he is willing to accommodate the left in literally anything. It was true about the Obamacare decision, it’s true about this one. What the source of this timidity is, is an open question. I personally believe he’s been blackmailed by OFC/Acorn (Obama).

They can turn her with praise and they can turn Brett with condemnation. I would be surprised if this actually happens.

This whole thing is BS.

A draft is not a ruling. Several drafts are written for rulings. They mean nothing other than to serve as a point for debate/discussion.

And if Roberts voted against the “draft”, then the draft is going to fail.

This is clearly a political move to generate “buzz” for the mid terms.

Shame on the republicans for not positioning the meaning of overturning RvW. Once again the Dems control the message and the republicans look like the damned Taliban.

Good job.

Don’t count out the deep state as the leakers for whatever insane demented reasons they have.... they likely spy on and monitor/blackmail all of the SCOTUS justices.

My thought was that they had arranged a soft landing for the clerk as a payoff.

I’m surprised Gateway Pundit actually wrote an article that almost everyone on the Right could have told you this before the case was argued.

I have to disagree. There is ample evidence Roberts was a died in the wool conservative at one point - his votes on gun rights and against affirmative action were great. But then for some reason he switched his vote at the last minute on Obamacare and he’s been fairly liberal ever since.... good chance IMO that he’s on tape at epstein’s island.

Gee, this sounds just like an insurrection!

Ya think our gangster FBI is gonna be out nabbing these insurrectionists? Will the FBI refer AOC's admonition to her people to go out and riot to the DoJ for incitement of riot and insurrection charges? Will the Democrat Kangaroo January 6 panel expand its timeline of insurrectionists to include this? November is coming and it is imperative to oust ALL Democrats. Interim states' party primaries are even more important so that the Democrat-Lite RINOs get ousted from running.

Don't 'riot.' Go out and vote like your life and your heirs' lives depend on it - because they do.

Orange man bad. Three court picks while he was battered mercilessly.... He should be smiling today.

Yes, if this is true, Trump gets another feather in his cap!

Abortion was one area that conservatives were skeptical of to vote for him. So glad that we got at least 4 years. He did so much in that short period of time.

Ummmm..... no . He never was. A leopard can’t change his spots. He just covered them up until he got to where he could be used by evil people. Then they re appeared.
