Someone stole drafts of the opinions of the two sides of the SCOTUS decision on the abortion case and leaked it to Politico. The text has Alito writing the majority opinion striking down Roe v. Wade. If this report is true this will be a seminal moment in American Constitutional history. This will be the first reversal of any of the non-constitutional civil rights activism from the 1960’s and 70’s. There will surely be an initial uproar over the decision. Then each of the states will need to craft its own solution to the question of the legality of terminating the lives of unborn human beings.
How soon we will have the answer as to whether this report is true is unknown. It was not thought that the decision in this case was imminent. Supreme Court rulings are very rarely leaked to the press. How the Justices will handle this unusual situation is unknown. Will this speed up the decision or not?
Having the culprit(s) drawn, quartered and disemboweled on the steps of the Supreme Court Building would be a start. Then display the remains over the portico as a warning to others who would threaten the Court.
Ed, it feels to me as if things are finally coming to a head. People have to choose sides and the true colors of the Left can’t be hidden any longer. Of course we may find out that we’re outnumbered but I’m ready for a head count on all the important matters to be decided. Let’s roll the dice.
In the mean time, whomever stole and leaked the reports is guilty of a felony.
Is there any other time in our short history that something like this has happened? I don’t recall anything like it.
I also wonder if it was “stolen” or if this was a calculated move by one of the justices.
Meh. whomever stole and leaked the reports is a leftist and they never pay the price for their actions.
But I’m with Jason. I think it was a calculated move by one of the leftist justices.
Perhaps the newest member?
Does she have access, even if her predecessor has not yet retired?
Update: Roberts wants an investigation, but not by the FBI.

Smell that?
That’s what a coverup smells like.
Biden’s job approval is so bad that he’ll do anything to distract the voters. War with Russia, feminist revolt. I think it’s time to just go ahead with these things. It’s time to stop trying to finesse each special interest group. Let the chips fly where they may.
