Meet Elizabeth Deutsch. She's currently a law clerk for Justice Breyer.

And, in my humble opinion, she's the most likely person to have leaked the draft Supreme Court opinion in Dobbs, purporting to overturn Roe v. Wade.

But first, a disclaimer:

I have no inside information. This thread is speculation, based almost entirely on publicly available information. I could easily be wrong.

Cool? Cool.

Her academic background isn't that uncommon for Supreme Court clerks. Yale undergrad, Yale law, and 2 British Master's degrees, from LSE and Cambridge.

Do note the Master's degree in Gender.

Here's where things start to get interesting. Every law student has to write a note - a long legal research paper, usually making a novel argument about the law.

Elizabeth Deutsch wrote hers about reproductive rights and abortion.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FR4UWLsXwAAORGn?format=jpg&name=small

Specifically, she argued that Obamacare's non-discrimination provision should be interpreted to *force* Catholic hospitals to perform "emergency abortions."

Aggressive argument - and hey, law students make aggressive arguments.

While in law school she wrote a NYT op-ed about reproductive rights. Sensing a theme here.

Her career page on LinkedIn doesn't reveal that much...until we start digging a little further.

First, thanks to her NYT wedding announcement (of course), we know that she clerked for judge Nina Pillard.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FR4Y4GMXMAIDmD4?format=jpg&name=360x360

Pillard was one of the DC Circuit judges appointed by Obama and forced through by Harry Reid blowing up the filibuster.

She's stridently pro-choice. Perhaps not shocking.

After her clerkships, she got a Gruber fellowship at the ACLU for a full year.

What was she working on?

You guessed it. Abortion and reproductive rights.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FR4bSEbXEAAJVbG?format=jpg&name=large

But none of this proves anything. Yes, Deutsch's career seems pretty focused on abortion. But without some connection to Josh Gerstein (the journalist who received the leak opinion) there would be no reason to suspect her.

Let's go back to that NYT wedding announcement.

"The bride and groom met at Yale. She is a lawyer. He is a journalist.

https://pbs.twimg.com/card_img/1521547376321712129/vvoRaWyL?format=jpg&name=small

Isaac Arnsdorf just got hired by the Washington Post as a national political reporter. (Of course he's on the Trump beat).

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FR4ZOS8XwAEkYyt?format=jpg&name=small

But where has he written in the past?

Oh, look. He wrote for POLITICO.

SHARING A BYLINE WITH JOSH GERSTEIN.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FR4dSSFX0AAznTj?format=png&name=900x900

Looks like Gerstein and they are still bros - chatting on Twitter, interacting as recently as last year.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FR4dSl_WYAAoMGB?format=jpg&name=large
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FR4dSm7XEAQkUFZ?format=jpg&name=medium

So, to conclude:

We have a currently-serving Supreme Court law clerk whose career has been almost solely focused on abortion.

She wrote her law school note on abortion.
She wrote op-eds about reproductive rights.
She spent a year working on abortion for the ACLU.

She clerked for a stridently pro-choice appellate judge.

And it just so happens that her husband is a journalist, who shared bylines with Josh Gerstein at Politico, and it looks like they are still buds.

I don't know that Elizabeth Deutsch leaked the draft opinion.

But I certainly think someone who has spent much of their academic and professional life fighting to expand the right to get an abortion could be desperate enough to do so.

“this might point Roberts in the right direction.”

U.S. Marshals and the FBI will polygraph everyone in the court. They will find the person/persons who leaked the opinion.

“Leaker also looking at a seven-figure book and movie deal.”

If prosecuted, a judge can disallow any future profits to be recognized from the illegal and unethical act, e.g., book or movie deals.

The left will no doubt make the leaker their hero.

My first thought was it’s an angry white woman who works for one of the dissenting justices.

Should have an investigation, question her and others as ‘person of interest’…ask if she leaked the documents…1 admission, 2 denial/perjury, 3 lawyer up and take the fifth…which would confirm her guilt imo…

Breyer's retirement plans were also leaked. Though that could well have been by BiDumb's WH.

Whoever made the leak, was ready to fall upon the sword “for the good of democracy”, but what a perverted form of democracy that must be.

One person, one vote, one way, one time, then the grand glorious future is forever tied to that irreversible and irrevocable decision.

This leak was MEANT to try to alter the tentative decisions of at least five of the Justices involved. Demonstrations and threats upon the persons of the suspected supporters are the means by which this vote is to be changed.

Justice Breyer has nothing to lose, at this point. If this leak was done in any way at his behest, it remains a most destructive parting shot, one likely to do as much damage to both sides in this disagreement.

Nobody wins. Not the US Supreme Court, not the activists, not the still unborn children, not the pro-lifers, and certainly not the public. The outcome shall forever be tainted.

A Hero Woman who lead the fight. She will be made a saint in the religion of the left. This woman will be given a medal when Pelosi is re-elected when the Democrats keep both House and Senate. That and their RINO fifth column will keep Trump out and put in a law that makes abortion the Law of the Land.

You use your gender weapon only for good.

I have not completely mastered my own gender, much less the other 56.
