When it comes to the Alito draft, we’re not sure exactly who leaked it and we’re not sure yet what its effect will be on the case and the election. But one thing we can absolutely be sure of in the wake of the dissemination of the Roe/Casey opinion draft is this: Ka-Ching!!!
Within minutes of the leak’s publication, various Democratic/progressive/leftist organizations began raising money off the matter. That’s not an exaggeration. The first funding emails were sent out almost instantly. Both CNBC and Business Insider have reported staggering cash hauls based on the leak.
Conspiracy? It doesn’t have to be. Maybe Person A heard the story was going to come out and mentioned it to Fundraiser B. Fundraiser B wrote the email and Bingo!—the ask was done.
Since its passage almost 50 years ago, Roe v.

(It’s also been good for fundraising for those trying to overturn the decision.)
Whether or not one needs more money to attack or defend a public policy matter is a bit of a question. When, for example, the Supreme Court blessed gay marriage, literally thousands of professional fundraisers, consultants, PR flacks, and marketers celebrated the success of the years’ long—and very lucrative—pressure effort, only to realize the next day that they need a new job; hence, the massive “gender identity” debate.
Like South Park’s Cartman trying to create a profitable Christian band by changing the words of standard pop songs from “Oh, baby” to “Oh, Jesus,” the embedded permanent “justice” movement learned that it can simply pivot from one topic to the other.

That’s what I love about americanthinker.com
I’d bet $10 that justice Roberts had something to do with the leak. Maybe $20.
Must be an accident. Too much of their stuff is neocon globalist war mongering shilling if it is not outright neverTrumperism.
