The leak, the threats, the violence — reaction to Roe is dark day for nation
NY Post ^ | 24 June 2022 | Glenn H Reynolds

The Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson is a victory for the rule of law.

I’m not talking so much about the opinion itself. I’m talking about the Supreme Court majority’s demonstration that it will do what it thinks is right despite unprecedented pressure from the media, from Democrats in Congress, from “activist” groups and even from angry mobs and attempted assassins who show up at their homes.

This is a big deal. When, as reported by Jan Crawford, a coordinated bullying campaign flipped Chief Justice John Roberts’ position in NFIB v. Sebelius, the ObamaCare case from 2012, many observers, especially on the right, lost faith in the court’s independence. And the perception that the court could be bullied, naturally, was a guarantee that people would try bullying it again.

And they did, in spades. Activist groups sent mobs to protest at the homes of justices expected to vote to overturn Roe, even though that sort of pressure on federal judges is a crime. (Unsurprisingly, Attorney General Merrick Garland’s Department of Justice appears to have done nothing.) In an unprecedented breach of confidentiality, an insider at the court — we still don’t know who, for some reason — leaked a draft opinion that became a rallying point for Democrats and the left.

Blame it on Traitor Roberts until he proves it wasn’t him.

These people don’t care if it came from our judicial system. They don’t care about the rule of law.
They don’t care about the unborn human being.
They don’t care about a belief in God.
We might have our own version of Kristallnach—
from the same people who didn’t care about the lives of the Jews.

What I’d like to know is if you cannot define what a woman is, how can you take away a woman’s right to choose?

“Blame it on Traitor Roberts until he proves it wasn’t him.”

It was Roberts or Sotomayor. I was leaning towards the latter, but after seeing Roberts’ “splitting the baby” (yikes, bad optics there) today, I’m thinking it was more likely Roberts, especially if the leaker is never identified.
