NPR reporter Nina Totenberg said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that she believed that a conservative law clerk was the likeliest suspect for the leak of Justice Samuel Alito’s draft majority decision overturning the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision.
Totenberg said, “It’s viewed it’s an earthquake, and I think within the court itself it’s an earthquake. There has never been a leak like this. There have been minor, little springs that have emerged from the court, reports of a tentative vote or misbehavior by one justice back in the ’50s, ’60s, ’70s. There were those kinds of leaks but never an entire draft of a majority opinion. That has never, ever occurred before. And it can only, in all likelihood, have come from a justice, I think that is less likely, perhaps one of the clerks. The leading theory is a conservative clerk who was afraid that one of the conservatives might be persuaded by Chief Justice Roberts to join a much more moderate opinion.”

In other words, “our latest gambit isn’t working out as we expected.”
“Without evidence”.
Bingo!
John Roberts
“Leading theory”? LOL.
Another “leading theory” is that the earth will be burned to a crisp in 100 years if we don’t stop burning oil and coal.
And then there is the “leading theory” that the CCP virus came from bats.
And another “leading theory” is that mRNA chemicals are harmless to the human body.
Really, Nina? Is it conservatives who constantly trash long held traditions and decorum?
It was some woke liberal law clerk.
The usual responses by the left happened so quickly, the leaker was probably a liberal who was working with outside groups.
This guy masturbates on national tv, and they still take him seriously. Only in America.
They can’t blame Russia for this one.
There... fixed it the way they do
Gee, I wonder how the investigation into the leaker is going.
This is what passes for logic on the left
A used car sales”person” turned reporter?
Totenberg isn’t, and never has been, in search of the truth, only the most advantageous narrative. This one is nearly too ridiculous to laugh at.
makes far more sense if it was a liberal unless it was someone associated with Roberts.
Projection. Without it, what would the command-and-control crowd even have for a program?
Of course the leak came through a dedicated and doctrinaire Democrat Socialist, maybe even through Justice Sotomayer, unlikely though that may be. However the leak was intended, most likely the end result will be to the better outcome for the Republican cause, at the expense of the Democrat Socialists.
She needs to put the NPR tote-bag over her head.
And this conservative leaker coordinated with all the left-wingers so they could have all their signs and protests ready to go?
