I don’t like the man, but I don’t think he’d do that. I still think it’s more likely to be an intern or possibly Sotomayor’s office.
I agree, my experience is in general, the farther left the spectrum the more rotten and sneaky, dishonest the person is.
Another factor at play is the female left wingers devotion to their professed right to abortion.
Sotomayor or Kagan would be my bets—possibly someone on their staff who knows they would want it leaked.
“I don’t like the man, but I don’t think he’d do that.”
Ditto. I don’t think Roberts is that stupid. If that is his strategy, and Kav or one of the others do cave, then it will mean that the pressure campaign worked... which will be disastrous for the Court. It will mean that on any and every future controversial issue, the (apparently) losing side will have a huge incentive to leak. I mean, what would they have to lose? If the majority sticks, then the minority is no worse off than if they hadn’t leaked.
