Chief Justice John Roberts confirmed the authenticity of the leaked draft opinion indicating the Supreme Court would upend Roe v. Wade as he announced an investigation into the source of the 'betrayal.'
'To the extent this betrayal of the confidences of the Court was intended to undermine the integrity of our operations, it will not succeed. The work of the Court will not be affected in any way,' Roberts wrote in a Tuesday morning statement.
'We at the Court are blessed to have a workforce - permanent employees and law clerks alike - intensely loyal to the institution and dedicated to the rule of law. Court employees have an exemplary and important tradition of respecting the confidentiality of the judicial process and upholding the trust of the Court. This was a singular and egregious breach of that trust that is an affront to the Court and the community of public servants who work here.'
'I have directed the Marshal of the Court to launch an investigation into the source of the leak,' Roberts added.
Roberts said that though the document was authentic, it does not represent the 'final decision' of any members of the court.

You can bet that some insurrections are totally awesome when the left does it..that they will burn down cities and threaten Supreme Court families lives in order for a few of them to reverse their decision
Too late. The damage is done.
And whoever did it, if he or she is discovered, will be a hero to the left, and will be celebrated as a savior, and will get major contracts with a TV station of his/her choice, and will write a book that will earn him/her millions.
The only thing that will hurt, if it does, is that, the leak came out 190 or so days before the elections, which means that, most people will have forgotten about the issue by then. People have short memories.
‘To the extent this betrayal of the confidences of the Court was intended to undermine the integrity of our operations, it will not succeed. The work of the Court will not be affected in any way,’
***It already has. SCOTUS has no integrity.
Roberts according to the memo, did not say this.
Would this be considered an insurrection? Leak followed by angry, threatening mobs attempting to intimidate the Supreme Court. I guess not, because it’s a Media-Dem Party operation.
Hmmm...Thomas is to Benedict what Roberts is to Francis?
I wonder if it’s another bombshell?😀😃🤗 I just love bombshells. /S
I’ll be 72 by the time they get ‘to the bottom’ of this. I’m 62 now....
“The work of the Court will not be affected in any way,’ Roberts wrote...”
Traitor Roberts lies [again].
Of course there will be effects.
SCOTUS better release the opinion extremely soon before someone gets their mind changed.
Chief Justice Maggot. I hope he’s in the building when the democrats burn the Supreme Court down.
Roberts' smoke screen rather begs the question: if it's not final, how does he know what THE decision is ?
Thomas has kept his mouth shut during all of this.
I don’t know why.
But if he goes along with this latest scam, then I guess we’ll know.
Robert’s is exactly correct here!
For all we know, abortion will be kept Constitutional by declaring it a tax on babies.
“Meaning, when they see the Left go nuts and burn things down, they’ll back off and get one of the wishy-washy judges to vote with the Leftist judges.”
Meaning, the Deep State coerced Roberts into leaking the opinion in the hopes that the resulting chaos will convince one of the wishy-washy judges to vote with Roberts and the leftist judges.
The best way to put this whole thing to sleep is to send it to the states, and have a 9-0 opinion that says that...
36 staffers + 9 justices. Lawyers-I’ll bet all 45 could pass a lie detector test. Coulda been pillow talk with a spouse.
Brandon probably had it in his hand when he went to use the bathroom and left the draft on the top of the toilet tank.
*SNORT*
He's got to ensure his vote on this case isn't nullified.
Silence may be a way to avoid nullification.
Or he's got some 3D chess move planned.
Parenthetically, NOW we know why they attacked his wife....
