The old news of the leak of Justice Alito’s draft opinion last May overruling Roe v. Wade has now been swamped by the new news of the Supreme Court’s final opinion a month later.
That final opinion, almost identical to Alito’s draft and joined by five of the nine Justices, held that Roe was wrong. As a matter of fact and law, the Constitution never mentions, alludes to, or implies a Constitutional right to abortion.

We all know Roberts is compromised.
As an aside, where in the Constitution does it say that sodomy is a constitutional right?
Supposedly,Robert’s “vehemently opposed overturning it” and “tried to convince the others to drop the case”. Robert’s is no friend of conservstives!
He is protecting his own crimes.
The author’s opinion is that one of the liberal justices was the leaker
***************
100%
If the leaker was a Republican this would already be exposed.
Thomas is right that the entire concept of substantive due process must be jettisoned. It turns the court into a policy arm of government.
Unless that “Republican” was Roberts.
“He is protecting his own crimes.”
Right you are! The swamp leaders are holding a sword over his head...and perhaps a Hillary “contract”.
Must be something pretty dark.
The Evil Swamp can be exquisitely efficient when its denizens want to be.
Note tagline.
“Who or what is Chief Justice John Roberts protecting?”
His closet.
Yup
Occam’s razor
John Roberts is worried about looking good to people at the DC cocktail dinners. I don’t get why he became Chief Justice.
My take has always been that Roberts is not being blackmailed. No need. He is one of those moderately progressive guys who thinks he is doing the nation a service by preventing any serious social conflict over issues. Hence the “softer” language.
I don't think Roberts was the leaker because it undermines the court's credibility. And that's why Robert's doesn't want to reveal who did this, because it would be one more smear on the court.
He thinks he's protecting the integrity of the court, but that ship has sailed a long time ago. And when the left keeps nominating people like Sotomayor and Jackson, the court is teetering on becoming a joke. Thomas and Alito are the only anchors left, and when they go, the country is in big trouble.
Protecting himself..
I don’t get why he became Chief Justice.
Bush
The President decides?
I’d 100% like to have another Alito or Thomas in place of Roberts, (I will give Roberts props for his 2A decisions).
But this ‘Roberts is compromised’ stuff comes up every single time his name is mentioned.
Anyone got any proof? Got one shred of actual evidence?
If not, it’s just garbage rumors and gossip. Of course freedom of speech allows garbage and gossip, not saying FR should censor anyone. Just asking if anyone is going to follow up with with a smidgen of proof.
