This smacks of BS to me. The Court doesn’t leak draft opinions. This looks like an attempt to stir up trouble as a means to intimidate Roberts and Kavanaugh. Silly, they are always intimidated.

Roberts could go either way at this point. Kavanaugh and Gorsuch already stated during their confirmation hearings that they WON'T overturn Roe, so I'm calling BS on this story.

The Progressives are like cornered rats.

They see their power at risk.

They are willing to break all traditions, all conventions, to keep power.

Legal abortion is a cherished prize, where they showed they owned the Supreme Court and the Constitution meant nothing.

It almost certainly was a draft majority opinion. It’s too detailed for anything else.

The leak is unprecedented. I’m flabbergasted that a clerk, even a libtard clerk would stoop to these depths. The only reason for such a leak is to try to drum up the goon squad to intimidate a justice into changing their mind.

What this means is that there were at least 5 votes in conference to overturn Roe. The next step would be to circulate opinions. Justices in the majority can and do sometimes change their minds and a majority opinion can turn into a minority one.

This actually happened with Casey in 1992. There were initially 5 votes in conference to overturn Roe. Then O’Connor got cold feet and drafted a new opinion and pulled Kennedy and Souter on her side.

The fact that this draft was leaked means that a liberal clerk is trying to make that happen again.

So, what if you wanted to prevent the Supreme Court from issuing an opinion overturning Roe vs Wade? How to do it???

Get feminazis and Antifa to riot at the Supreme Court building and burn it to the ground. Maybe kill several justices. Burn other buildings as well for good measure. Place snipers around the area with instructions to kill the riot leaders so that no one will ever find out who in the FBI instigated the chaos.

Also wouldn’t they say “vacated” rather than “overruled?”

This is real. This is pure Alito. That’s exactly how he writes.

This was leaked because some lefty/feminazi/lesbian clerk of one of the liberal justices decided they were going to “save abortion” by leaking this and hoping that the ensuing firestorm will cause a Kav or a Barrett to back off.

Leaked draft decision - never heard of it happening, until today. Fake news until proven otherwise imo

“The Court doesn’t leak draft opinions.”

There’s a couple of lefties on the court that would have NO ISSUE leaking this draft.

The one “brave” secretary or whoever theory is believable. Taking one for the team so that the team knows. If true, this is going to spark violence. Not a threat, just what I bet will happen.

Well, they circulate a “draft opinion” to see if they get enough votes for the court to adopt it as the court decision. If not, another draft opinion gets circulated. There could be several draft opinions going around, all different. Maybe not BS, but not worth too much either, without more information.

"The Court doesn’t leak draft opinions. "

You sir are right on target. Scaring the leftist to believe Roe v. Wade will be over turned is the best way for them to keep seats for the midterms

This, if true, would be the pretense for the left to really go over the edge. On the left this would be worse than bringing back slavery. The Supremes do this and you’ll see the study on “fixing” the court back front and center.

This could be an attempt by some leftwing clerk to prematurely release is hoping the furor will cause the opinion to be withdrawn.

Sotomayor or Kagan would happily leak such a decision.. in order to try to force intimidation and get it changed
