Consider this sketchy right now. Politico is reporting they have “obtained” a draft copy of the Supreme Court majority opinion which would reverse Roe -v- Wade federal abortion law and return the decisions on abortion law to the individual states. {Uploaded Draft pdf Here}
While it is 98-pages, it is only a draft opinion. The decision of the individual judges could change at any time based on their view of the severity of the outcome, wording and other inputs that would be provided. A draft opinion from internal deliberations has never, ever, been leaked before from inside the supreme court; and that alone should send warning flags to everyone.
Personally, I doubt any draft from February would be pertinent today. This entire scenario just sounds massively sketchy.
“POLITICO received a copy of the draft opinion from a person familiar with the court’s proceedings in the Mississippi case along with other details supporting the authenticity of the document. The draft opinion runs 98 pages, including a 31-page appendix of historical state abortion laws. The document is replete with citations to previous court decisions, books and other authorities, and includes 118 footnotes. The appearances and timing of this draft are consistent with court practice.”
According to the draft, written by Justice Alito after the February oral arguments in the Dobbs -vs- Jackson’s Women’s Health case, five justices are aligned to overturn the 1973 ruling (Alito, Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett); three justices are in dissent (Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan); and Chief Justice John Robert’s position is undetermined.
[…] The document, labeled as a first draft of the majority opinion, includes a notation that it was circulated among the justices on Feb. 10. If the Alito draft is adopted, it would rule in favor of Mississippi in the closely watched case over that state’s attempt to ban most abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy.
A Supreme Court spokesperson declined to comment or make another representative of the court available to answer questions about the draft document. (read article)
Again, this leak is very sketchy.
Abortion on demand is the holy grail of social policy for the most extreme radical and violent leftists. If this is a real leak from a staffer inside the Supreme Court, the explosive intent would be to railroad the final decision before it becomes public, and/or create some form of government intervention in congress.
Just a distraction from 2000 mules dropping. Nothing is by accident.

@SenSchumer
The Senate will hold a vote on legislation to codify the right to an abortion in law.
This is not an abstract exercise. This is urgent.
We will vote on protecting a women’s right to choose, and every American is going to see which side every senator stands on.

Federal legislation does not override States rights under the Constitution.
IF, the uniparty commies can over come 200 million new voters granted amnesty and win the House, Senate and WH in 2022 and 2024, they should pack the SCOTUS WITH 12 more judges not recommended by the liberal Federalist Society but based on constitutional rulings and conservative ideology. No racial, gender quotas, just the best qualified. And while I’m dreaming, over turn every thing that OBAMA, Obiden, Bush and the commie dems and Pubs. have done since Regan. Make sure the commie dims never hold office again.
WH statement…
How in hell can “They” protect a “woman’s) right to choose when they can’t even define what a woman is for pete’s sake!
My state (Hawaii) has been busy this term rewriting abortion law to remove any reference to “woman” as well as making nurses eligible abortionists.
“We said that Roe is based on ‘a long line of precedent recognizing ‘the Fourteenth Amendment’s concept of personal liberty’… against government interference with intensely personal decisions.'”
This is the same administration which just argued to the same court that government has the power to mandate mRNA injections as a condition of employment.
So where are the rights of the child
Hey some states are passing laws where mothers can have abortions two weeks after a full term baby is born!
That is not an abortion but outright murder
Third trimester abortions are the same idea. The baby is born at eight or nine months. The baby leaves the mother’s womb as a viable, full-term living infant.
And THEN the doctor murders the newborn baby. The governor of W Va described keeping the baby “comfortable” until the mother makes her decision whether or not to end her child’s life.
That wasn’t West Virginia, that was Virginia, Guv Ralph “Blackface” Northam. A pediatric doctor no less. Scum of the earth he is.
Why can’t someone find something to impeach Roberts for?
A draft never been leaked before…appointments based on identity politics is also a recent thing. Coincidence? Not likely.
Don’t discount the possibility that the leak is made up out of whole cloth as a clever ruse to fundraise AND to get abortion legislation passed.
Never let the opportunity to manufacture a crisis go to waste!
The Chief Justice has confirmed its legitimacy.
However, the intent of the leak is clearly to put pressure on the Court while also triggering the activist/donor network for the mid-term election cycle.
Hasn’t the UNiparty raised enough billions on the backs of the Ukrainian people?
and just like that, leftist started talking about a woman’s right to abortion instead of a birthing persons . . . and presumable SCOTUS appointee KBJ now knows how to distinguish women from men.
Just like with covid, people need to be made aware, that being a super spreader comes with consequences.
Lives will be saved.
Did Politico hire Ali Watkins back or perhaps a younger version? Just asking.
can you spell..sotomayor
Darn, is that pie chart real?
