One of the Supreme Court's longtime reporters said the "leading theory" is that a conservative clerk leaked the majority draft opinion indicating the high court is poised to overturn Roe v. Wade.
Nina Totenberg, a legal affairs correspondent for NPR, said the only theory that makes sense is that the leak came from someone who "was afraid that this majority might not hold."
"The leading theory is a conservative clerk who was afraid that one of the conservatives might be persuaded by Chief Justice Roberts to join a much more moderate opinion," Totenberg said during an appearance Sunday on ABC's This Week.
Totenberg also dismissed speculation that the leak originated from the liberal side.
"There's another theory that it was an outraged liberal clerk, but I think the only one that makes sense is that it came from somebody who was afraid this majority might not hold — that Chief Justice Roberts might persuade one of the conservatives to come over to him," Totenberg added.

leftist lawyer blames Conservative. Am now certain a Conservative didn’t do the leak
Not the Science, following the Seance.
Ahh, Nina T... still stuck trying to figure out the prisoner’s dilemma.
They know that their lies work on the simple-minded.
Just had a guy look me in the eye 6 weeks ago and tell me all of Bill Clinton’s affairs happened AFTER he left office.
This person told me he debated this stuff all the time.
🙄
Neither did I. Ninny Pokenturd - re such attributes as arrogant, stupid and nasty, you have always had the exclusive. Saw you crashing a private party on the Hill - fifty years ago at least. Your date was so old he had a trochar sticking out of his chest. And still alive? Who knew?
Totenberg is German for Death Mountain. 63 million small corpses would make quite a mountain of death.
Yes, because we want that to be the issue in 2022, not the
nation crumbling.
Sure Ninny...
The “leading theory” eh, Nina??? Whose theory? And who decides that it’s “leading”???
Totenberg is the one who reported the so called Gorsuch Sotomayor Covid Mask story, that got shot down by Sotomayor and Gorsuch. Also the one who tried to torpedo Thomas with Anita Hill at the last minute.
Ther left’s lies apparently work well with those who allow their hypothalamus to overwhelm their prefrontal cortex.
She simply dismisses the theory that disagrees with hers without giving any reason why. That's what passes for thinking these days. People are supposed to simply accept her assertion.
Sotonayor or Breyer.
Coulter’s Law, with a twist applies. The longer it takes for the identity of the leaker to be released, the more likely it is not a conservative.
Yeah, riiiiiight.
Nina Left-is-inberg is such a font of “real” news.
I see no evidence she is if brain function is the criteria.
She’s not. Vampires and such...
This only benefits the Left.
NPR is only one of many leftists news organizations that will happily pull the stupidest idea from their butts and report it as breaking news.
It’s worse than merely being in love with the sound of their own voices, they bow down and worship what comes from their backsides.
What exactly qualifies this as a “leading theory”? I don’t know, maybe Nina Totenberg drank some soy milk with her gluten-free toast (all-organic, free trade, of course). When she sat on the toilette later, the idea just popped out.
Makes as much sense as anything else
It’s incredible to witness in real time.
And not in a good way.
Reprobate minds.
