Purposeful ?

It’s been almost three months since the unprecedented leak of a draft opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization sent shockwaves through the Supreme Court and the legal world. Those in the know figured that it was a clerk for one of the liberal Justices who let the cat out of to bag. Why? Obviously, because knowing the verdict before it was official could possibly pressure one of the conservative Justices to change his/her mind.

While Chief Justice John Roberts vowed to get to the bottom of who engaged in what he called a “betrayal,” we still know nothing about the identity of who gave the draft, (which overturned Roe v. Wade and sent abortion law back to the states) to the news media. 

If any progress has been made, the public is not being updated. Could it be that the reason that the culprit has not been identified is because those in the know actually do not want the leaker to be identified?

The final SCOTUS count was said to be 6-3, however, it was not actually this clear cut. Chief Justice John Roberts agreed with the judgment upholding the Mississippi law but did not join the majority in the opinion to overturn Roe and Casey. Perhaps better stated the decision was 5-4-1 with Justice John Roberts being the 1.

Now, there’s new reporting the leak of the draft opinion squashed efforts by Roberts to convince his colleagues to preserve parts of Roe. 

From Twitter: “New CNN reporting from @JoanBiskupic … Chief Justice John Roberts privately lobbied his fellow conservative justices to preserve Roe v. Wade – but the unprecedented leak of the draft opinion may have doomed his efforts.”

We are all aware that “dirty play” is normal for leftists, but is it possible that a conservative one-upped everyone by leaking Dobbs v. Jackson to Politico, which is obviously liberal. In other words could the leak have been from a non-liberal individual in the Court system? An individual who was worried that the politicking by the Chief Justice was gaining ground. If this is true then the impetus to find the leaker would possibly be subtly squashed by the Chief Justice as his skullduggery would then be unmasked. Thus, could it be that the  lack of success in identifying the leaker is purposeful?
