What do you bet that, if this is true, the source is Elena Kagan?

The White House and the lapdog media have an unusually depressed, belligerent tone when it comes to the upcoming opinion on Obama Care. They’re even more depressed than they should be given the pathetic showing their case (not their lawyer, but their case) made during oral argument. Put another way, it’s hard to believe that, after two years of intellectual denial, they can’t also deny away a single day of bad argument. Their malaise is due to something greater than one bad day.

This bizarre black cloud leads at least one Supreme Court observe to suspect that the unthinkable happened — the formerly leak-proof Supreme Court leaked (emphasis mine):

It doesn’t take a Washington insider to suspect that the White House has a back channel to the Supreme Court, knows how the justices have come down in the Obamacare case and has learned, from the Obama point of view, the news isn’t good.

The president’s defiance and what appeared to be his campaign of intimidation targeting the justices has morphed into barely concealed resignation over the last seven days.

That widely noted New York Times story of the weekend is a case in point. It detailed how the smartest crowd (hasn’t the MSM assured us of it) that has ever inhabited the nation’s Executive Mansion failed ever seriously to consider that seizing control over one-seventh of the American economy and forcing every American to buy a commercial product might, just might, run afoul of our constitution of liberty.

At Power Line, where I first stumbled across this leak theory, Steven Hayward points out that, in the past, a combination of judicial discipline and law clerk career fear kept the Court silent:

Why is the Supreme Court better than the intelligence community at keeping secrets? The nine justices are disciplined enough, but what about their clerks, who surely have night lives, close friends, etc.? Possibly the problem of ruining their promising subsequent legal careers (and the not insubstantial ethics clearance they might blow by leaking) explains it, but it is still a marvel that the Court’s decorum has held for this extraordinary case.

I’ve known former Supreme Court clerks and, yes, their eye is on their future career. They are not the type of people who would carelessly jettison that future. But there is someone on the Supreme Court whose future is already assured, who has proven herself to be a shill to the monied powers, who once worked hand-in-glove with this White House, and who is a total Progressive ideologue, who has regular placed politics against principle. She’s also a newbie, which would explain why I’m not talking about Justice Ginsburg, who has kept mum during her tenure. Yes, Elena Kagan, I’m talking about you.

This is pure speculation. I’ll never be able to prove it. Nevertheless, if there is a leak, which is a guess, I’m further guessing that Kagan is the leaker.

Do clerks have to be cleared at the TS-SCI level?

i cannot fathom how this dirtbag got away without recusing herself from hearing the case as she worked on Obamacare as solicitor general. She is a leaking conflict of interest.

Yes, it was leaked by a clerk or kagen. The VOTE was weeks ago and the bill couldn’t be severed so all one had to do was signal a yes or no. There are dirty commie clerks at the supreme court, that has been proven recently by court cases regarding soetoro eligibility. Papers go missing, not docketed, sabotage etc.

Wasn’t she spotted dining out wth Cruella Deville (Sebelius) not that long ago? Of course 0bama has an inside scoop.

Down in flames, all of them.

...which begs the question: If it can be proven that she, in fact, is in league with the White House and actually “leaked”, then what can be done? Can a SC Justice actually be fired/impeached?

SC Justice loses their job in three ways:

1. Death

2. Resignation

3. Impeachment.

That's it.

It doesn't surprise. Leftists have demonstrated no loyalty to the rules, institutions, the very founding document of this country.

Worse, they've demonstrated their distain for them time after time. Its RESULTS they care about.

Whats more I cannot believe the GOP is unaware at this point they are playing by the rules with an opponent who threw the rules book out years ago. I becoming convinced that the joke is on the republican rank & file.

Justices are appointed for life. They can be impeached and upon conviction in a Senate trial removed from office.

Yep, OBVIOUSLY a tip-off. Back when it was argued, I think on a Tuesday, the people that understand the Court said that the judgement would be known by Friday, of that week as that’s when the judges vote, secretly. The rest of the time, from then to now, was writing the edict (sorry, I meant ‘opinion’) of the court.

So, back then, Obama blew a gasket, on SATURDAY - the day after the vote. It was an informal vote, but those usually hold.

...of course he knew what was coming.
