Following protests sparked by the leak of a draft Supreme Court decision indicating the justices are poised to overturn the constitutional right to abortion, Justice Clarence Thomas said on Friday that the court cannot be 'bullied.'
The leak set off a political firestorm, with abortion-rights supporters staging rallies outside the courthouse and at locations around the United States, as well as an internal crisis at the nation's top judicial body where an investigation into the source of the unprecedented disclosure is underway.
Thomas, one of the most conservative justices on the nine-member court, made only a few passing references to the protests over the leaked draft opinion as he spoke at a judicial conference in Atlanta.
As a society, 'we are becoming addicted to wanting particular outcomes, not living with the outcomes we don't like,' Thomas said.
'We can't be an institution that can be bullied into giving you just the outcomes you want. The events from earlier this week are a symptom of that.'
Police have surrounded the court with tall black fencing following the protests, which have been peaceful.
The court confirmed the authenticity of the document but called it preliminary. The court is due to issue its ruling in the case by the end of June.

Lord, Please bless and protect that man.
And the leftist are melting down over his comments.
Did anyone see the video of the protester dressed in black (antifa) going after a cop and the cop backing up???? omg.
All federal judges and justices have Marshalls guarding them 24/7. I’ve known two personally. They also are automatically allowed to carry once becoming a federal judge. Most judges, federal and state, carry. Their security is probably as good as the President’s.
God bless him, he’s a wonderful man.
I can surely believe that Justice Thomas won't change his vote...but there are at least two judges whose mettle hasn't really been challenged.
We must now accept the possibility that this vote will be every bit as wrong as was Roe v Wade,Dredd Scott and others.
MAGA dittos to that!
Pro-abortion types believe in baby murder.
Many even at eight months and twenty-nine days.
The ‘Democrats’ wouldn’t know Democracy if it bit them on their asses.
I’m proud of and support Thomas.
None of these guys should be telling anybody anything. Their leak raises the nation’s divisions which are already at white hot level.
He seems not to realize that SCOTUS already WAS bullied into not even considering a landmark decision which ushered the United States from a republic into an oligarchy: Berg vs. Obama.
Only the spoiled rotten woke aholes expect to get their way all the time. When they don’t they are predictable in their juvenile tantrum behavior. You can practically set your watch by how soon they will react.
This operation was planned. The signs were already made and they were already set to go to the courthouse to perform their pre-planned protests.
“Lord, Please bless and protect that man.”
AMEN ON STEROIDS!
I was glued to the TV during his confirmation. Media was going after him for sexual harassment of Anita Hill. Then I found out every time he changed jobs, she went with him.
I thought “What women would do this if she was sexually harassed and how did CNN miss that?”
Then I realize CNN knew this along and just lied.
At least Busch did something right. Very right.
Leftist melting down because they are being denied the chance to inflict ter on unal extreme pain on babies, and then being denied baby body part and blood profit —
Remember this testimony—
Hopefully the link still works.
I expect a favorable vote for the RIGHT side very quickly now!

The link does work.
What an incredible video.
Thanks for posting it.
Hitler, Stalin and Mao are in hell thinking "Way to go!"
the spoon fed populace, obese on tv short stories of pablum, have become the kid in the bugs bunny cartoon, I WANNA EASTER EGG!
with no explanation, no cranial discourse, the picture has been painted by the artist who did the portrait for a Mssr. Grey, and is believed by the pablum-consuming public, to never changs, to be there on demand, and always a pleasant view.
now, a decision is whispered to be approaching concerning a female-specific law, unconsritutionally forged by a previous batch of Supreme Court judges, and that law’s permanence.
the pablum bunch is beside itself, of both genders, and really knows noaught to do.
it is delightful to watch.
