By leaking the draft decision now, the Left is compromising its impact on November, which tells me that the purpose of the leak has nothing to do with the election: it’s an attempt to change the Court’s decision.
A late June decision would have had a far greater impact on the election, as it would be definitive and thus more polarizing.
I think this backfires on the left: they get neither their decision nor electoral advantage.
But, boy, they will piss and moan for the next five months... nothing new there.
This is to set up the end of the filibuster and Court packing. They’ve already prepared a bill to expand the Court to 13 justices. If they end the filibuster, they can ram it through, 51-50, or at lest they believe they can.
