I am not sure how smart Roberts is, but he should issue an immediate decision in the Roe v. Wade reversal and not allow the anarchists to fester openly.
I always thought Alito was the most consistent constitutional judge outside of Thomas on the bench. We’ll see. Being threatened by the evil hoards is very intimidating.
I think the final vote will go the other way, and I think it’s already been decided before the leak. Why do I think that? Because Roberts on the first day of the leak news, stated very reassuringly to the press that this was not the final decision.
He basically said don’t worry, I got this.
States passed laws on abortion from the beginning. By 1900, ALL STATES had laws making abortion a crime. Roe v Wade ignored it. The USSC should have NEVER taken the case. It was a state matter.
Surely the leaker wants the doors to close on the case.
Roberts doesn’t decide when to release the opinion. The majority does.
Justices circulate draft opinions to see what the other Justices in the majority are comfortable with.
There almost certainly is a later draft than what was released by the leaker.
Remember that this happened before in 1992. That’s how we got Casey.
What makes Pat so sure it wouldn’t be reinstated, in some form, in the future?
That’s not what Roberts said. He said, quite correctly that many drafts are circulated and that this doesn’t necessarily reflect the final views of any member on the case.
I know that there had to be some draft version that was later than what was released. It’s possible that the updated draft could be quite different from what was written.
It could be revised again. The justices circulate multiple drafts back and forth. That’s why releasing this was so damaging.
Deep State controls SCOTUS.
Period.
I agree. Also, the justice who is in any way affiliated with the leaker, has to recuse herself/himself from all and any review of the abortion issue that comes before the SCOTUS... FROM NOW ON! PERIOD.
Someone should hang Politico reporter upside down until they talk of the leaker. It’s pathetic that this hasn’t been solved yet. Or perhaps they know and they are just hiding it.
Kavanaugh and ACB will switch.
Totally agree, enough of these games, issue the damn decision.
The Supreme Court will be destroyed forever if any of them prove to be cowards now and pull back. The fate of our entire judicial system hangs in the balance.
I think the final vote will be 6-3. There’s a big difference between 6-3 and 5-4, when it comes to the debate afterward.
The leak will result in Roe staying in effect. Now there will be three votes at most to overturn it...maybe only two.

I suppose we will see.
