It is interesting the female protesters were there at the steps when the leak was revealed. All carefully planned out. Remember, now that the polls are showing the Democrats may lose the House in November, they had to create a crisis to win.
If the goal is to influence the mid-term elections, then there is no need to leak the opinion because the court would have released the opinion in the ordinary course before the end of the term in June, which would give the left plenty of time to exploit the opinion as an election issue. More likely, the opinion was leaked, not to influence the election, but to influence the court in the hopes that one or more justices will switch sides at the last minute.
My theory is that the deep state coerced Roberts into leaking the opinion. He allegedly switched sides at the last minute re: Obamacare due to deep state coercion and that was enough to change the result even though the "conservatives" had a 5-4 majority. Now however, the so-called conservatives have a 6-3 majority, and while the deep state may have compromised Roberts into upholding Roe v. Wade, Roberts has been unsuccessful in convincing one more conservative to break ranks and jump ship. The Deep State coerced Roberts into leaking the opinion in the hopes that the resulting protests and violence will convince one more justice to join Roberts, Beyer, Kagan, and Sotomayor, and maintain the status quo.
They are losing the House. This is about keeping the Senate.
