Agreed. Which is why it is unlikely that the leak of the initial Alito draft opinion was perpetrated from someone on the Left who was anxious that the Court preserve Roe. Rather, the purpose of the leak, which established that there was from the beginning five votes to overturn Roe, was to lock in that outcome.
Given C.J. Roberts' track record with the Affordable Care Act case, the leak was a strategic move aimed at forestalling Roberts from being able to pick off either Kavanaugh or Barrett.

If and when it comes, lets hope thats what really happened.
Roberts invents ways to weasel word a desired outcome and knows the MSM won’t see it that way.
