Chief Justice Roberts responds to leaked Supreme Court draft opinion
The Supreme Court and Chief Justice John Roberts put out rare, written statements Tuesday to address the leak of a draft opinion showing the panel's conservative majority of justices is poised to overturn nearly 50 years of established abortion rights.
The statement on behalf of the court said, "Although the document described in yesterday’s reports is authentic, it does not represent a decision by the Court or the final position of any member on the issues in the case."
In a separate statement but released together, Roberts called the leak a "singular and egregious breach" of trust -- but defended the court's workforce and integrity, saying this will not undermine its operation.
"To the extent this betrayal of the confidences of the Court was intended to undermine the integrity of our operations, it will not succeed. The work of the Court will not be affected in any way," Roberts said.
"We at the Court are blessed to have a workforce – permanent employees and law clerks alike – intensely loyal to the institution and dedicated to the rule of law. Court employees have an exemplary and important tradition of respecting the confidentiality of the judicial process and upholding the trust of the Court," he said. "This was a singular and egregious breach of that trust that is an affront to the Court and the community of public servants who work here."
Roberts said he's directed the Marshal of the Court -- its chief operations and security officer -- to launch an investigation into the leak.

Inb4 the flood of people who are more outraged at the leak than the contents of the leak.
as they should be. the justices write drafts of different opinions all the time without that being the final decision. whoever leaked this info should be buried under the jail.Inb4 the flood of people who are more outraged at the leak than the contents of the leak.
Under what section of the penal code? "Wrong" and criminal are not the same thing.This is a crime.

I don't agree with the direction that court seems to be leaning however I hope they catch the person or person who leaked this. This is a crime.
Pretty much authenticates the contents of the draft……
This opinion would have been published in late June/early July. Probably would have been more strategic to wait--this will now be old news by summer. "Gleeful" is hardly how I would characterize the Dem response thus far.Democrats gleeful, as their political stunt now takes shape for November

Yea, but you can't ignore this . . .Pretty much authenticates the contents of the draft……
At best it "authenticates" that it represents Alito's position on the issue.

Conservative jurisprudence in 2022: define civil rights as narrowly as possible but when it comes to prosecuting political opponents just "lump it all together" to get where you want.removing an official government document thus defrauding the US government. the one they lump all this kind of shite under.
