“But I ask my myself, why now?”
It’s important to understand the mentality of today’s leftist law-school elite. These are the same people who shout down conservative speakers who turn up on their campuses. They’re Bolsheviks who are willing to tear down institutions when things don’t go their way. It’s like those young “lawyers of color” who were tossing Molotov cocktails during the 2020 riots. I’m guessing that one of this punks (allegedly a Sotomayor clerk) decided that he was going to introduce mayhem into the process in hopes that the backlash would cause one or more of the SCOTUS justices to get cold feet. Said leftist law clerk would then lionize himself/herself as the great savior of abortion in America.
Be interesting if the pro lifers just stop pursuing this at SC stop being reactive to this leftist ploy.
