This isn’t even hard. They aren’t concerned with safety because they want the Pressure because Roberts is trying to flip them with assistance from the Dems.

The attempted assassination of Justice Brett Kavanaugh makes it abundantly clear that Chief Justice John Roberts is playing with fire in refusing to issue the Court’s majority opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the case that could potentially overturn Roe v. Wade. The potential for someone to make an attempt on a justice’s life was predictable once the draft majority opinion, in a shocking move, was leaked—but the threat appears more serious in the wake of a deranged person having arrived at Kavanaugh’s home with the stated intention, and with weapons in tow, to kill him.
It is hard to imagine the devastating effect upon our already polarized society, its institutions, and the Constitution itself if someone were to murder a justice in cold blood and then reap the following rewards for the assassination:
Because Supreme Court rulings aren’t final until released, a 5-4 ruling to overturn Roe would immediately become a 4-4 opinion, thereby leaving Roe on the books.
The president who would get to replace the murdered justice would be Joe Biden, who has repeatedly said he is firmly committed to keeping Roe in place.
The Senate that would get to confirm Biden’s nominee would be the current Democratic-controlled one, and the Democratic Party is adamantly committed to upholding Roe.
In short, an assassination could lead to Roe being upheld rather than overturned in the short term, Biden and his Democratic allies being able to replace the murdered justice with one of Biden’s choosing ahead of the midterm elections, and Roe remaining a fixture in the constitutional firmament in the long term.

It would be far easier and simpler for Roberts merely to release the majority opinion now and release the dissents later ....

Prove it.
This could trigger civil war.
Especially when they figure out they could all just decide to murder all the 4 conservative court justices.
Conveniently.
For Biden to replace.
That would be civil war.
Obama. Thats who. Which also probably means the Clintons. Not that they get along, just that they both probably have the same dirt.
If this were to happen, Breyer would immediately withdraw his resignation, KJB would immediately be sworn in and SCOTUS wold go back to “tentative” 5-4 to the right with Roberts as the swing vote, there by really being a 5-4 court for the left.
If anyone thinks just one case was leaked they are pretty stupid. The abortion case was leaked from the leaking network to gin up midterm votes and do institutional harm to the USSC before the ruling could be issued. There are son many more cases leaked to the Beltway swamp rats that are being brokered about for power that is the lifeblood of DC politics.
It’s right. There’s a final deadline for the term.
If there is a plurality opinion, at least 5 Justices still have agreed on the outcome albeit for different reasons and the dissents and concurrences are by definition done.
Casey started as a majority opinion overturning Roe. As opinions were passed back and forth, the majority fell apart. Again, the CJ doesn’t control the outcome or decide when opinions are released.
They are released when a majority of justices have reached an agreement on the opinion and the dissenting and concurring opinions are finished.
I understand that people hate Roberts but the CJ doesn’t unilaterally decide when opinions are released. This blogger is an idiot.
.
If anyone thinks there’s a genuine investigation of the leak, they should stay in the cornfield.
How many times does one need to see it?
You made the initial claim. Prove it.
“Why is everyone assuming the justices all leave town when the court adjourns for the year? They all live in the area, don’t they? They’re not there like congress critters who fly in from their home states when Congress is in session.”

Because they do. Each Justice has their vacation plans already made and are out of the D.C. area on the first of July unless there is a major emergency. They go to an out of the way place, drink a few beers and go fishing, fly overseas to a cottage they rented specifically for this year, etc. All with a few family members, or trusted friends such as former clerks, or law school buddies. Those trusted few do not leak a word about their whereabouts. The Justices normally do not hang around D.C. for the summer.
The same people not releasing the Epstein client list.
Source please.

They have second houses, Cabins, they travel to far away beaches, and vistas in New England.
They get outta DC.
.
I think McConnell suspected or knew they took out Scalia and that’s why he didn’t seat Garland. I am just speculating but maybe.
So, Roberts is waiting on a Justice to be assassinated?
No nutcase conspiracy theory is too far out for some Freepers.
Im betting that the CIA BRENNAN listened in on every conversation of everyone important to them for whatever juicy item they could hear
No, you challenged the statement. The burden is on you to prove your assertion.
