Did a Republican leak the draft SCOTUS opinion - Almost everyone may comment

No. There's no reason for a Conservative to do this. However, it is a typical MO for a Leftist.

It is one of those means, motive, and opportunity sort of things.

Conservative judges only hire conservative clerks, so only conservative clerks would have had the means and opportunity to get the draft opinion being prepared only by conservative judges. Moderate clerks would not have the means or opportunity.

A moderate clerk would want this to be sprung on everyone as late in the election process as possible. That gives Republicans the least amount of time to respond. Conservative clerks would want this as early as possible, so Republicans would have the most amount of time to find a successful response.

But most importantly, a conservative clerk would want this passed the point of no return. Without the draft being released, the Conservative judges could have altered it to soften it. We know they were getting political advise on how to soften it. A conservative clerk (a true believer) would not want it softened.

I say yes. There is nothing for Democrats to gain by leaking this document. Americans are opposed to overturning Roe v. Wade. Therefore public opinion is not going to change the minds of any of the Five Fucktards that make up the majority of the court. So the most likely reason for leaking the documents was to keep the pressure on those justices NOT to change their minds in some back room deal. And Republicans are dishonest and lack integrity. So it was obviously one of their own that did this.

If it was a Republiqan I'd say that they just shot themselves in the foot. This is going to galvanize the (D) voters. I received seven pleas for donations via email just yesterday, all of them referencing the leaked maybe-decision.

It's possible, perhaps as a test to see reaction before final decisions.

But your assertion that there is nothing for Dems to gain is absurdly naive. Indeed, there is a LOT for Dems to gain here, first off to create a backlash and threat that will make people like Roberts buckle and decide not to support the overturn. Second, it creates a lot of heat in their base, gets some fire under their asses, because they know that the midterms are going to be a big rout for their party unless something like this comes out.

That's my suspicion as well.

I don't know if the leaker is (D) or (R) -- about the only for sure thing I can surmise is that they do not agree with the maybe-decision and wanted to cause an outcry.

to say this, you must believe that the majority of Americans favor the overturn of this law.

Polling says that most Americans support choice. From Pew Research:

No, you're a literal retard, I don't think it was a clerk either I think it was one of Obama's political activists playing dress up as judges. This was highly coordinated with fundraising plans between the leaker and the Biden administration and Clinton, the protesters were astroturfed before hand, everyone involved needs to be arrested for fomenting insurrection and placed in 23/7 isolation until they confess, from the leaker to the protesters on the SCOTUS steps. We also need a special committee appointed on day one after Republicans retake the House and Senate along with the beginning of impeachment proceedings against the unelected illegitimate Biden junta for overt treason abs criminal conspiracy with the CCP through Joe's crack head incestuous pedophile bagman son Hunter.

Most Americans oppose abortion and will soon prove it through the ballot box which you would support if you weren't an enemy of Democracy like the entirety of the Democrat party who hate that we the people will now get a say on whether or not we legalize mass infanticide.

Completely wrong. Why is it that the shrillest nonsense-spewing Reichwingers choose names like "free speech"? :laugh:

The draft opinions are sent around the court to all the justices, you nitwit. Do some basic research. They regularly create and send around draft opinions and very often votes change as the justices read the draft opinions and they change their minds, think of new arguments, etc. And this wasn't an opinon 'being prepared', it was an opinion circulated around the court in FEBRUARY.

What makes you think Roberts supports the overturn?
 
BartenderElite said:
Could be either. I can see the gain for either side.

Probably someone on the left if I had to speculate - get the '22 campaign going early.

But who knows. They're investigating, so we'll probably find out.

I'm going with Ginni Thomas.

Pillow talk

I would think that very few people had access to the draft- and if an investigation is started to determine who spilled the beans- it would be pretty easy to nail down the leaker!

I'LL JUST WAIT ON THE FACTS!

I don't think there's any question
 
Bans on Abortion at 20 Weeks

Politicians in Congress have repeatedly pushed bills that would impose a nationwide ban on abortion at 20 weeks of pregnancy. This dangerous, out-of-touch legislation is nothing more than yet another attempt to restrict access to safe, legal abortion.

The proposed opinions are sent to all the justices. The draft opinion are only passed around the preparing justices.

This leak has locked the decision into place. It really cannot be undone now. The political considerations have been cut out of it. Whoever did it wanted this opinion to be the final opinion.

I think it was a leak by a lefty to get people agitated and take to the streets, and as a distraction from durhams attack on entrenched corruption.
