Roberts has done more damage with his actions today. He is rewarding the leakers by: (1) confirming the authenticity of the draft; (2) saying that the court will not deviate from the current schedule, thereby allowing the left up to two months to threaten/pressure the justices in the majority.
He had a moral obligation to: (1) remain silent, (2) allow the majority to choose the timing of the release of the decision now. Ideally, if the majority is content with the draft now, the dissenters who did this should have no more than 24 hours to finalize their statements, before the is released.
Roberts has rewarded the people who did this and made life an absolute hell for the 5 justices in the majority for the next two months.
He's a stooge...or one of THEM.
