Mitch McConnell has no conscience and no firm moral convictions. He sleeps like a baby every night.I will not comment directly on the "Roe" opinion as is a highly emotional time on the forum. Any wrong word and who knows what the reaction would be.
But here is the raw analysis from the political side in my opinion:
The way Biden is handling the war in Europe and this leak (Is irrelevant who did it now) means trouble for Republicans. I won't be so sure about the midterms now. Still, lots of time left until then, but still, Mitch McConnell probably had a long night last night.
There should be an extra choice: "Who cares?". I'm glad we found out now, gives us more time to react. That's why Republicans are pissed - they thought they might be able to time the decision so it wouldn't hurt them as much in the mid-terms. They failed!!!! Thanks to the leaker!Who leaked the article? Vote and then post your best theory as to who leaked and why.
Here's just a few ideas.
Team Conservative Leaked
Justice Neil Gorsuch's pro-life law clerk learned that his boss has gotten cold feet about tossing 50 years of abortion precedent and Justice Robert's arguments. In attempt to keep his boss in the majority, the clerk leaked the first draft that indicates a 5-4 majority. After the revelation why would Gorsuch or any of the conservative justices risk the flip-flop to become the largest persona non grata in conservative circles for the rest of their natural lives?
Team Liberal Leaked
Justice Sonia Sotomayor's pro-choice law clerk knows that the 5-4 opinion is as good as done. There's no going back after June. As a result the clerk has thrown a Hail Mary by leaking the draft in the hope that the five justices face immediate and harsh protests from the American public (who is plurality pro-choice, after all). In the end one of them backs down.
Team Non-Partisan Leaked
The court's garbage man has gotten incredibly lucky when emptying the dumpster. How did a SCOTUS employee ever manage to forget to shred this document? Leaking this inflammatory and history-changing opinion will certainly get him written into American history books.
Someone else?!
Putin cronies have hacked SCOTUS and hit the jackpot. Putin knows that leaking this first draft will get the American public's blood boiling and at each other's throats in the matter of days. Any distraction to get the West's attention off of his war in the Ukraine would be welcome.
The who cares comment tells us all we need to know. ThxThere should be an extra choice: "Who cares?". I'm glad we found out now, gives us more time to react.

I think it's rather obvious that Trump convinced Putin to hack the court and release the draft as a way to distract from the war and the J6 committee findings. We really need a special counsel to get on this and Trump should be impeached immediatelyWho leaked the article? Vote and then post your best theory as to who leaked and why.

okSotomayor has developed a big mouth so I wouldn’t be surprised if it turned out to be her.
If only. Then we wouldn’t be talking about this issue at all. Ba dum chhhhh.Deep Throat?

Please refrain from using that term in a thread where Sotomayor is also being mentioned.Deep Throat?
That checks so many shaming boxes………..if there was a kegger, you’d hit on her……..Please refrain from using that term in a thread where Sotomayor is also being mentioned.
You picked winners in the NFL thread, what was that?Did not vote. Pure speculation.
Ms Chambers died of heart failure. Yep, internal organs took a beating during her career lolDeep Throat?
We are not here to discuss mistakes Luther may or may not have made while highly intoxicated.That checks so many shaming boxes………..if there was a kegger, you’d hit on her……..
Disagree. The Republicans would. This will come out in June anyway, nothing can stop that. Having this come out now gives the Republicans two additional months for the anger to settle and for voters to lose their zeal to get to the polls.Who stands to benefit the most. It seems the Democrats would.
Personally, I've been wondering if SCOTUS "leaked" it intentionally to see what the reaction would be.Who leaked the article? Vote and then post your best theory as to who leaked and why.
