Justice Neil Gorsuch said he and his fellow justices could gain more insight on the leak that sent shockwaves across the nation ahead of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
'The chief justice appointed an internal committee to oversee the investigation,' Justice Gorsuch told the 10th Circuit Bench and Bar Conference in Colorado Springs, according to the Wall Street Journal. 'That committee has been busy and we're looking forward to their report, I hope soon.'
It was Gorsuch's first public comment on the matter since the late June ruling.
The Trump-nominated justice did not say whether the report would be made public.
Justices have roundly condemned the leak, Gorsuch included, and suggested it was intended to sway their decision in the abortion case.
'Improper efforts to influence judicial decision making, from whatever side, are a threat' to the judicial process, he said.
'They inhibit our capacity to communicate with one another' in a way that 'improves our final products,' Gorsuch added. 'I very much hope we get to the bottom of this sooner or later.'
A majority draft opinion indicating the Supreme Court would overturn Roe in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization was leaked in May, before the final decision was released on June 24.
Such a leak is unprecedented and Chief Justice John Roberts ordered the court's marshal to investigate. There have been few updates on the probe.
Sources previously told Fox News that the investigation into the some-70 individuals who may have had access to the documents has narrowed. Several clerks sought legal counsel when in June court investigators insisted justices' law clerks sit for interviews and surrender their cell phones.

Get the tar and feathers prepared
A PDF of the draft Roe v Wade decision wasn't LEAKED from WITHIN SCOTUS, THE PDF WAS DIGITALLY INTERCEPTED by an OUTSIDE agency such as NSA/CIA/FIB, etc. SPYING ON AND HACKING SCOTUS COMPUTER SYSTEMS, then LEAKED to State Media.
Would be easy. How many Democrats work for you?
was any law actually broken? if not, I don’t see the point of wasting tax dollars on investigation that will accomplish nothing.
Just look for the purple haired lesbian with the nose ring
When the court's marshal discovers the leaker, will (s)he be court mashaled?
I’m sure the investigation will be available shortly after the Durham Report.
That information would never be made public.
the “sanctity” of the court was tarnished. And we can’t have that now can we? These people are as good as gods and can’t be questioned so this is a super serious crime.
fingered we’d just be told to “move on”
Sounds reasonable. I wonder if that can be proved.
Your theory is definitely not out of the question.
“A PDF of the draft Roe v Wade decision wasn’t LEAKED from WITHIN SCOTUS, THE PDF WAS DIGITALLY INTERCEPTED by an OUTSIDE agency such as NSA/CIA/FIB, etc. SPYING ON AND HACKING SCOTUS COMPUTER SYSTEMS, then LEAKED to State Media.”
That sounds plausible to me.
That could be.
Our Deep State has likely bugged every office of the federal government.
“Just look for the purple haired lesbian with the nose ring”
Which one?
I agree...I think that if you want to find the leaker check to see who accessed the stored intercepts of the NSA. .
My apologies for this oversight.
these are the same genius, unelected arbiters who admonished us for asking about Obama’s birth certificate and said we, the people, had no “standing” to ask the great demon obama if he is eligible to serve under the constitution.
The same demonic forces who said gay marriage is a “right” even though the word “gay” and the word “marriage” are no where to be found in the constitution and despite congress specifically passing a law to prevent it.
These are the same demons who refused to adjudicate where the 2020 election was valid despite being conducted in a manner completely opposed to what the Constitution requires - “because covid”.
