Supreme Court again declines to rule in abortion case, despite protests

The Supreme Court issued opinions on Monday, and once again, the Court did not include a ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, the highly-anticipated abortion case that could overrule Roe v. Wade.

A leaked draft opinion by Justice Samuel Alito aimed to do just that, stating that "Roe and Casey must be overruled," referring to the original 1973 case that established a constitutional right to get an abortion, and 1992's Planned Parenthood v. Casey that upheld that right.

Monday was the second time the Supreme Court released opinions since Politico published the leaked draft opinion. The leak sparked protests by pro-choice activists, both in front of the Supreme Court building and outside the private homes of Republican-appointed justices.

A statement issued by Chief Justice John Roberts the day after the draft was published called the leak a "betrayal of the confidences of the Court," and said, "The work of the Court will not be affected in any way."

More time for Roberts to do his dirty work?

[Morgana]

I’d love to know what is going on.

[Eleutheria5]

Away, away, he bravely ran away...

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Don’t worry - someone will probably leak again.

[euram]

How come we don’t know the name of the leaker? I will bet that they found out who it was rather quickly, but have now moved into the cover-up stage so as to not make the Media-Dem Party look bad.

Saving the biggest for last so they can get out of dodge right after announcing it.

[MinorityRepublican]

Brett Kavanaugh and/or ACB may have backed off. They may agree with the ruling to overturn Roe vs Wade but they may not have the guts.

Therefore, we'll never overturn Roe vs Wade.

[Guenevere]

And when will that be?

[Wizdum]

Most likely, the wording of the opinion and dissent are still being finalized. In any case, the result will be a monumental to returning power to the states.

As far as the leaker, that investigation will probably not be finished until the end of this term.

[Obadiah]

I’d put money on that explanation.

[Eleutheria5]

Blow boy’s name is still a deep, dark secret, because Adam Schiff helped him prepare his statement.

[rdl6989]

Don’t they usually release the biggest opinions at the very end of the term?

[AAABEST]

lmao

[Pollard]

I have no idea what their schedule is. Some freeper said late June is when they usually do the big ones.

[PghBaldy]

Roberts is a horrible passive-aggressive jerk.

[1Old Pro]

Waiting for Brandon to return so he can personally instigate and direct the violent mobs.

[Morgana]

“Saving the biggest for last so they can get out of dodge right after announcing it.”

I have to figure that is what they are up to. Then they are on the first plane to some sandy beach way way down south like maybe Costa Rica?

[PghBaldy]

I hear Malta is lovely this time of year.

[DoodleDawg]

The decision is coming and I predict the court will release it in late June.
