Whoever leaked the alleged draft of the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade has committed the “original sin for judicial ethics,” said Jonathan Turley, criminal defense attorney and Shapiro professor of public interest law at George Washington University.
Politico published an alleged draft on Monday of the Court’s decision to overrule Roe v. Wade in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization case. The case revolves around Mississippi’s 15-week abortion ban and is the most significant challenge in decades to the Court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, which declared abortion to be protected by the U.S. Constitution. The draft was seemingly written by Justice Samuel Alito and has circulated inside the Court, the news outlet reported.
“We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled,” Alito allegedly wrote in the document, which is labeled as the “Opinion of the Court.” “It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people’s elected representatives.”
Turley said the leak represents “one of the greatest breaches of security in the history of the Court.”
“The alleged leak of the opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization is nothing short of breathtaking. It would constitute one of the greatest breaches of security in the history of the Court,” Turley tweeted. “…The article represents the greatest crisis that Chief Justice John Roberts has faced in his tenure on the Court. It is a breach of the most fundamental obligations and traditions of the Court.”
Turley noted that if Politico indeed obtained a true copy of the drafted opinion, “it is hard not to view this as a malicious act.”

He surmised the leak could be an effort to “pressure the Court and push the legislation in Congress on a federal abortion law before the midterm elections. It will also likely renew the call for court packing.”
“The fact that some are praising this leak shows how utterly craven we have become in our politics,” he concluded. “There appears no ethical rule or institutional interest that can withstand this age of rage.”

Not too surprising given hatred of the other is the foundational element of existence.
Plan accordingly.
Gotta be the “wise latina”. She is the worst of the bunch. Even Kagan isn’t as stupid as Sotomayor.
It was a bat in a wet market
BTTT
Was the new non-biologist anywhere near the scene today?
Kagan was friends with Scalia, they went hunting together.
>> Turley said the leak represents “one of the greatest breaches of security in the history of the Court.”
Goes along with the greatest election theft in US history...
Rats — this Country has a nasty Rat infestation.
Any of the court’s servers or PC’s can be hacked or back doored extremely easily by the executive branch.
At this point only Alito and staff know if this draft is real. It probably wouldn’t take much for someone to forge an opinion in his style. I guess we’ll know about that possibility soon enough.
Desperate people do desperate things. And the midterms are not looking good for the democrats.
Either of these two. Or a staffer by proxy.
And he is correct
IF it is discovered who did this impeachment is not good enough. That person should go to prison……and preferably at Gitmo
I know of NO Justice whoever gave a specific answer to any question about abortion. How can that be a lie?
This is obviously a leak from the left on the Court. They want to put pressure on Kavanaugh and Barret to switch their vote. I assume Roberts is in the minority and they do not need to put pressure on him.
.
I agree. Sounds like Dems want to keep options open on Impeachment. They love recusal (for Republicans only).
They get a Committee and they study Impeachment or Ethics charges against Republican justices until after 2024 Election. What’s the downside to them?
.
The Supreme Court breaks in June and does come back until Mid-October.
I’m confident the plan was to leave and then have the ruling released.
Mid-October is middle of Election Season.
They all have Security details.
.
Traitor Roberts fault.
He needs to fire all of the Libs’ [that includes him too] clerks.
