Someone at the high court decided to leak to Politico the draft opinions on the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization case.
The draft opinions reportedly overturns Roe v. Wade.
“The leak of a draft opinion from the Supreme Court is breathtaking and unprecedented in modern times, and has already sent shockwaves through Washington and the nation... The draft published by Politico indicates it was written by Justice Samuel Alito and circulated on February 10. It did not say which other justices joined in the opinion, but Politico noted that a person familiar with the court's deliberations said four other conservative justices, Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett, voted with Alito to strike down Roe during closed-door discussions after oral arguments and have not changed their positions. It's unclear whether Chief Justice John Roberts will join the conservative majority, according to Politico...”
Sen. Ted Cruz spoke to the Czar this morning, telling him that the leak of the draft opinions is “a complete and utter betrayal of the court”.
He said:
“I was at dinners with friends and my jaw dropped, in over 200 years of our nation’s history this has never happened.
And it is a complete and utter betrayal of the court...
This is the end result of the Democrats multiple year effort to politically undermine the court and politicize the court and it really is horrifying for anyone who cares about an independent judiciary of the rule of law.”
