"leaked draft opinion"

A calculated "George Floyd" moment for the midterms...

the supreme court releases its decisions in May and June... this is the beginning of May. Big deal if the decision was leaked a few weeks early. It wont affect the midterms in November any differently, than if it were released in 2 to 3 weeks formally.

Either we can defend the ground we have won here or we can’t. I feel confident that this will not affect anything here in Texas this November.

All I have ever wanted in regards to Roe was it to be thrown out as a made up “constitutional right” that can’t be limited except by a constitutional amendment. I am 100% ok with us fighting this out in state houses across the land to determine what people are comfortable with.

When I saw that name, I had to retreat and read it again.

I thought it had swerved into comedy.

The joke may be on me though. It may have.

We’ll see in time.

The question is did the left leak it to stir up the faithful, or did tne right leak it so the public outcry would burn itself out well before the election?

It will be the last decision they make before the end of this term since they will hurry off to vacation somewhere peaceful like the Ukraine after The Mother of all Opinions™ kicks off CWII ...

Alito was writing the majority opinion, which means it was 5-4 for overturning it. Maybe the “first draft” only refers to the paper he was writing. I think the vote has already been taken and after that they write their majority and minority opinions.

Roberts can solve this easily. He brings all the clerks and staff into the main courtroom and says “All phones turned off. Nobody is leaving this room until the leaker comes forward. No food. No bathroom breaks.”

Then you just wait the leaker out.

“The work of the Court will not be affected in any way.”

Except for the investigation?

From earlier discussions of the leak:

I hope that Alito learned something from Trump and made subtle changes to each copy distributed to the other judges. That would allow us to figure out which office it came from.

In the discussion yesterday...someone mentioned that security is so tight at the Supremes offices that these "typo changes" are done as a routine manner on all documents circulated.

If Roberts tries to whitewash this investigation of a criminal act, he’s certainly opening himself up to impeachment by a future Congress.

Marshal Gail A. Curley. You CAN BET SHE IS NOT ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE POLITICAL SPECTRUM.

"Col. Curley got her J.D. in 1999 from the University of Illinois College of Law and went on, five years later, to receive a Master of Laws degree at The Judge Advocate General’s Legal Center."

Likely some poor janitor will be made a scapegoat.

It was leaked by a leftist cow law clerk of one of the leftist cow supreme court justices so that the left, liberals, communists, liberal lawmakers, Antifa, BLM, EU cronies, you name it, WILL RIOT AND BURN DOWN SODOM ON THE POTOMAC AND BLAME TRUMP AND CONSERVATIVES FOR IT ALL!! Why the hell would we riot about it??? We are HAPPY that the so-called law that makes the MURDER OF UNBORN CHILDREN ILLEGAL IN LAW, AS IT IS ILLEGAL IN GOD'S LAW AND THAT IS THE ONLY LAW THAT COUNTS!!!! GOD'S LAW!!!

Everyone, absolutely EVERYONE who has been in the business of murdering unborn children WILL BE JUDGED BY GOD for what they have done!!! GOD said it was better they tie a millstone around your neck and throw your butt into the deepest sea than HARM ONE HAIR ON THE HEAD OF A CHILD!!! The Great White Throne Judgment awaits every nurse, clerk, doctor, lawmaker, judge, woman, man, anyone, who has had their hand in this murdering exercise.

It was ALL ABOUT CULLING THE POPULATION!!! Kill off children so that the world population would be culled down.

If a cabal of Dems and Repubs can conspire to rig a presidential election, they can certainly leak a ‘draft’ document from the Supreme Court as well.

"I think the Democrats just lost their core issue that has been “getting out the vote” for the past 50 years. It will not return, and their energy in 2022 and 2024 will be much lessened."

Meanwhile, they've already started planning to do more voter fraud...
