The U.S. Supreme Court is apparently planning to vote to END Roe v Wade in a DRAFT OPINION by Justice Samuel Alito — leaked to Politico this evening.
The draft opinion was leaked to the press – something that is almost unprecedented.
Developing………
The Daily Mail reported:
The Supreme Court is planning to vote to strike down the decision of Roe v. Wade, long considered a vanguard of guaranteeing a right to an abortion in the United States.
The opinion draft – originally obtained by Politico – was written by Justice Samuel Alito, one of the six justices appointed by Republican presidents on the nine-member court, repudiating both Roe and the 1992 Planned Parenthood vs. Casey decision.
‘Roe was egregiously wrong from the start,’ Alito writes. ‘We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled,’ he continues in the document, titled ‘Opinion of the Court.’
‘It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people’s elected representatives.’
Politico noted that this is the first such case in modern history of a Supreme Court draft decision being leaked to the public while the case was still pending.
It is unclear which justice would support such a move, which would typically be released at term's end -- by June.
But the fact that the planned decision was LEAKED -- which is considered a criminal act -- is almost as big a story as the decision, and it has shocked Court experts.
Influential site SCOTUSblog expressed the sentiment bluntly:
And it didn't take long for fingers to point at the most far-left justice on the Court: Sonia Sotomayor.

My first thought is it was leaked to attempt to cause a reversal of the vote via violence by the left.
I think we are about to see a “Summer of Love”
Proclaiming to be wise, they became fools.
As Chief Justice, Roberts clearly has lost control of the Court justices staff.
Yes. This nation has slid into anarchy.
What do you mean 'considered a criminal act'?
It is either a crime which violated a written law or not.
You win stupid post of the week and it's only Tuesday.
Send me $14,865.27 and I will send you your prize, honest, you can consider that a promise.
Re: 125 - I read somewhere, that the WSJ based on their article of last week, may also be in possession of the draft.
Sonya should be expelled from the Court immediately. Period.
I wouldn't be surprised in the least if the leaders and protesters think this will cause a mistrial even though it's a post decision document, albeit a draft one.
I also wouldn't be all that surprised if somehow that's what happens.
And just think, overturning Roe v Wade doesn’t change much, it certainly doesn’t “outlaw abortion” across the US like the hysterical, ignorant masses believe. But hey it’s another change to rip America apart (America’s new favorite pastime?) and Biden can try to boost his low poll ratings. Get lives people.
If she’s dead, she can’t participate in the final decision
She has forfeited her right to live
Will Biden make an announcement like "Alito will pay?" as he did when he announced the "BP whipping immigrants" hoax?
Biden will lament the supposed decision, is about it.
I wonder if ALL the justices first draft an opinion styled as “Opinion of the Court” then after reading each other’s submissions, meet to discuss.
The court is so arrogant that I just can’t believe it would ever admit Roe/Casey were fundamentally wrong, conjuring a federal authority out of thin air. “Sorry, we were hallucinating.”
Coney Barrett is on video before being on the court, saying that SCOTUS will not overturn Roe v Wade. One problem is that when politicians or the media say "Roe v Wade," it really is an oversimplification of that decision and several others (Doe v Bolton, which allowed abortions after viability ).
We need March for Life Plus, to counter protest these paid rent-a-lib mobs.
It was not a “leak”. It was a call to arms for the demon army.
...chocolate mooch!

Only, the person you made that rude statement to, didn’t even say that. They were replying to the poster who said that.
Now, don’t you look foolish….and, rude?
Democrats lack integrity - it was only a question of time before they compromised the Supreme Court.
Very true!
“If a Supreme Court justice leaks a decision, is that impeachable?”
If we had a Congress with a spine it would be. Maybe after the midterms. One can dream.
