There’s a total of 45 people who might have had access to that document - 9 Judges and 4 highest-level clerks.
Remove 5 conservative justices and their clerks, and that leaves only 20 people who might have leaked it. Add in some basic forensics like the color-printer mentioned, and it won’t take more than a few hours to find who did it.
It's Robert's, he probably ordered it, he won't look into it.
The assumption that the person who leaked this document is somehow “smart” must also be thrown away. “Smart” people do dumb and stupid things all of the time. If you have no morals you will do very dumb and immoral, unethical and illegal things - this is why I believe it was a left-wing clerk.
Discovery of the leaker might ruin his/her legal career, but a resulting political career might skyrocket. The left knows how to take care of its own.
This may be the first case where anonymous sources does not work for the press.
I'm with you. The Left is notorious for leaks, and there's plenty of history and/or receipts to prove it. In fact, they LOVE doing this sort of thing, and relish in the notoriety, even if it costs them their career.
Any chance there wasn’t a leak and it’s just someone making BS up, saying there was, to fire up the left?
Like the “whistleblower” we will all find out who it was but it will never be “officially” confirmed.
Remember that Roberts protected the whistleblower when Rand Paul asked a question. And Roberts obviously is for abortion, or at least not for overturning Roe vs. Wade or Casey. So he, as head of the Judicial Branch, will protect the leaker.
That, or the leaker can get ‘Ft. Marcy Park’d’ and just disappear.
A first draft? With typos and highlighting?
And do they typeset a laser printed document?
I think (though don’t know) that to do that would require so much effort and expertise, especially worth respect to SCOTUS jurisprudence, that it probably wouldn’t be worth the trouble.
This leak has KJB all over it imho
She was approved to fill the non vacancy remember .
All the rules went out the window when that happened.
Imho, KJB got access and the blame will be used to force either expand the court or frame one of the other judges, probably Alito or Beyer who didn’t retire when THAT turd was floated.
Just you watch.
I don’t think it’s the third option because the the leaked fed Politico info that the majority has held “as of this week” though one is “uncommitted” they also fed CNN that Roberts would uphold the 15 Week ban but doesn’t want to go all the way and end Roe.
Random IT guy wouldn’t know those things.
The guilty party should get more years than derick Chauvin got because the leaker actually did something wrong
Sure, blame the new girl.
Supposedly there are 2 clerks,who had relationship with politico - sounds like they might have their scapegoats
“There’s a total of 45 people who might have had access to that document - 9 Judges and 4 highest-level clerks.”
They do all the typing and filing?
