You are so correct. Though it doesn’t have to be true, just look true. The left has never cared about truth but they do love their murder.

5710 hits for “overruled”
23600 hits for “vacated.”

I’m not sure but I want to say that “overruled” is for lower court rulings - I’m not sure if another SCOTUS opinion is ever overruled. (?)

Bastardy, creating children out of wedlock, was a common law crime:

It is difficult to understand how anyone found a right to privacy in that, since there was none. Also note that one of the cases cited in Roe pertained to the forced sterilization of "idiots". Hopefully, it's dead now.

The reversal before final opinion happened with Obamacare as well, Roberts’s majority opinion upholding Obamacare was originally written as a reversal which is why it reads so incoherently.

He switched with only a few days to go which is why Scalia was so angry.

This incredible leak, intended as everyone says to drag politics into this process, is just one more log on the fire that is going to burn down the house.

If it’s not Breyer (unlikely), the guilty clerk won’t be punished but will become the next liberal heroine.

Breyer was my first thought as well.

Not only is abortion not deeply rooted in the Nation’s history and traditions, it is not found in the Constitution per se and was a liberal carve out to legalize a practice that resulted in moral depravity.

This is an assault on the upcoming election. Pure politics and nothing more.


No point. The actual decision will be out next month.

Well, they circulate a “draft opinion” to see if they get enough votes for the court to adopt it as the court decision. If not, another draft opinion gets circulated. There could be several draft opinions going around, all different. Maybe not BS, but not worth too much either, without more information.

“Pure Alito”

Perhaps, but it can be mimicked and the left would take the time and effort to do so in an effort to create the next crisis.

This is just too coincidental. The left is losing support everywhere and fast. The one issue that they see as being their salvation is abortion. And voila, here it is.

I don’t see gutless Roberts and gutless Kavanaugh ever making such a bold ruling as this. Moreover, on such an important decision as this the Senior justice would write the majority opinion. Without Roberts voting with the majority that means Thomas would write this opinion. I can’t imagine he would not write this opinion,

Also, evening this is Aloto, how do we know this isn’t a dissent and he isn’t in the minority.

No, too much stinks here.

"The Court doesn’t leak draft opinions. "

You sir are right on target. Scaring the leftist to believe Roe v. Wade will be over turned is the best way for them to keep seats for the midterms

This, if true, would be the pretense for the left to really go over the edge. On the left this would be worse than bringing back slavery. The Supremes do this and you’ll see the study on “fixing” the court back front and center.

Yes, the see it that way. But if this turns out to be a hoax, they will find that they screwed themselves royally.

I wonder if the leak came from higher, like Kagan

This could be an attempt by some leftwing clerk to prematurely release is hoping the furor will cause the opinion to be withdrawn.

Trump rides again!

Three court picks while he was battered mercilessly.... He should be smiling tonite.

He’s an existential threat to the axis of evil that fuels the Democrat party.

Orange man bad.

I am really disappointed and skeptical.

Disappointed that the first reaction to something Politico is reporting isn’t instant disbelief.

Skeptical because it is sort of obvious that the Dems are desperate at this point. So, they reach into their playbook and what should magically appear? Why, it’s the “War on Women!!!”

Wow, such a shocker.
