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.
Abortion is and has always been evil
Dare I say “misinformation”?
It seems more like a legitimate leak with the intent on changing the decision. If there were any doubt remaining that this branch of government was not as corrupt as the other two, then that doubt is now dispelled.
I have to agree with you.
Yep! If it was fake why would they leak it!
To get the base out to vote.
Remember, primaries are tomorrow in several places.
Kavanaugh or Roberts will flip.
I suspect that roberts will side with the majority.
This is definitely a deep state play, but one that they only think they can successfully control the outcome.
They want, need violence and fighting among us because they’re fully prepared and planning for us to attempt some sort of open defiance. They want us to become violent because they just lust for the ability to use that as an excuse.
Stay calm. Become prepared in every way possible and wait.
Be patient.
If he cares about his legacy as much as he says he does, he will flip to the majority but right now, I think he’s with the Dems.
On the other hand, I’ve read that Roberts doesn’t like all the cases likely to come to the Court from the states…so he might prefer someone else have the headaches and want the states to do their own things.
Only till you see the white in their eyes…then the safety clicks off.
There is only one way to deal with a bully or a tyrant.
I think Roberts would be likely to flip. It’s my opinion that he’s being blackmailed over the illegal adoption of his children. Those kids are grown up now but the illegality of that adoption comes back to haunt him when difficult votes are required.
Kavanaugh is shitting in his pants already. Kavanaugh is a COWARD.
I doubt Roberts is in the majority NOW. No flipping needed.
I don’t think justices will flip.
LOL….I would not bet a paycheck on Kavanaugh, Barrett, or Gorsuch…..to call them reliable conservatives is pulling the proverbial wool over one’s eyes
“… Roberts will flip.”
So Roberts will vote as a Constitutional conservative this one time?
So far, just to keep this current, it appears that the justices siding to kick back to state control are Alito, Thomas and the three Trump appointees.
Roberts is siding with the liberal justices.
The pressure will now be applied to the squishy “conservative” justices; Kavanaugh, Barrett and to a lesser degree, Gorsuch. I suspect Alito and Thomas are solid since they have been on most cases.
My money would be on the wise Latina.
And a Hail Mary attempt to change a vote and influence midterm elections. This is honestly shocking even given the loose moral structure of the Left: forging documents, fake dossiers, lying under oath, concealing evidence, no warrant spying, unequal application of riot laws, FBI malfeasance, failure to prosecute, the Kavanaugh hearings, and, of course, the election fraud.
America in the 21st century.
Oh the caving of the fearful Supremes (Barrett, Kavanaugh, Roberts) will be fast and furious.
Agree with the extra added benefit of inciting the Lib base ahead of 2022 and sucking the oxygen out of the room on the Ukraine grift-wealth transfer of taxpayer $$$/2000 Mules release/House Republicans wanting to know the FBI’s role in staging the Whitmer kidnapping and interfering in the 2020 election, etc.
Sketchy indeed! And by whom and why was it leaked?
Allan Dershowitz speculated that it was a “Liberal” law clerk.
If no one is brought to justice, that would be confirmed.
Ferret them out with a polygraph test. On demand
The name is Amit Jain. He is clerk for Sotomayor, Yale, and is on record in 2017 criticizing BK hearings with the reporter who published. They also might be sleeping together.
the problem with social media is that it is really hard to hide stuff.
While this is a good guess, that’s all it is. I wonder if someone such as this, knowing he’d be the first suspected, would actually throw his license away.
Isn’t this an election year? Who does the leak benefit?
Guaranteed it’s legitimate! That’s the only reason why the decision would be leaked by a Leftist Justice or court clerk. They want to crank up ANTIFA and the loons to start mass protests and violence.
I agree with you. See my Scotusblog post below.
Every institution (government and non) has become politicized. Leftists have legitimized by any means necessary. I see it as real and the intent is exactly as perceived. The stopping of the decision or acts to make the decision null.
Then they should announce this as official and fire any clerk who had access.
and if they can’t find out what clerk leaked it, fire every one of them and make sure none ever get a job as a lawyer anywhere – a move like that will get the clerks to turn in the leaker.
Impeach Sotomayor
And the Justice who was in on the leak!! No one should have a lifetime appointment. But I pray this true and will be overturned. It’s the only way to stop us from going down the path of destruction. God will bring a nation down for the slaughter of their most innocent, sixty million babies.
As long as the outrage happens in DC… I think it could be a very good thing! Have at it! 🍿
Pregnancy is a gift from God Almighty. That’s the only thing that matters.
Sole intent of the leak is to sway the courts opinion based on the voices that will be amplified by MSM. Majority Americans will agree with the decision.
Pray for justice for the unborn.
Exactly! This is why it’s a legitimate decision.
Agreed but it’s also to intimidate justices less than solid on the decision and galvanize the radical base of the demonrats.
Last ditch, all out, all in, all hands on deck to revitalize fund-raising by, through and with Planned Parenthood.
“Come on, everyone, if the Republicans win, the War on Women will go nuclear with more anti-Roe justices!”
I think you got it.
The Left has created the war on women — in bathrooms, locker rooms, swim teams, track teams, wrestling teams. They only want certain “women’s rights” — and what is a woman anyway, right?
Wow. I believe that is totally unprecedented. Whoever leaked it has broken the seal in court deliberations. I think that might be a felony.
Left foray into felony is a badge of honor without concern.
Maybe, just maybe, one of the justices leaked it?
No. Probably a clerk for the Leftist Justices.
Roberts included in that description as well, I trust.
The new one, the activist who doesn’t know what a woman is.
She’s not on the court yet, not until the other one’s retirement is official, so don’t think she or any of her newly hired clerks-to-be would have had a chance to access a months old draft opinion.
Doubt it.
It would have to be one of the women of the Left on the court!
When I first saw this all I saw it’s about time then the reality of the reaction from the left came to mind, this will be interesting and a dangerous time.
I will still celebrate the ruling but be prepared about the leftist unrest from it..
Would the new justice have access to this?
NO.
The CIA/FBI/NSA are known to surveil congress, and reportedly IIRC, the courts including the SC. A ‘leak’ of an emailed draft (or more sophisticated computer electromagnetic radiation) hoovered up by the ‘deep state’ to create division in the Court and mayhem in the country is also possible.
Also, would our ‘new’ Justice (or any new staff) have access as a ‘courtesy’?
No. She has not been sworn in and did not hear arguments on this case.
More evidence of collusion between Exectutive and Justice.
For 20+ years , I have had individuals violate my privacy. Most likely employees of US.gov. SCOTUS did not do shit to protect my privacy. They endure one experience on a single day. Boo hoo poor SCOTUS.
Scalia famously is quoted as saying to his new law clerks that he would work to destroy the career of any clerk that leaked SC case information.
https://highschoolscotus.wordpress.com/2018/04/13/interview-ian-samuel-april-13-2018/
I think if it is anyone with a law degree, they should be disbarred.
I also though the same about the FBI lawyer, Kevin Clinesmith when he doctored information given to the FISA court.
It didn’t happen.
SCOTUSblog
@SCOTUSblog
The document leaked to Politico is almost certainly an authentic draft opinion by J. Alito that reflects what he believes at least 5 members of the Court have voted to support — overruling Roe. But as Alito’s draft, it does not reflect the comments or reactions of other Justices.

It’s impossible to overstate the earthquake this will cause inside the Court, in terms of the destruction of trust among the Justices and staff. This leak is the gravest, most unforgivable sin.
It is about time that everything comes out into the open. The court is corrupt, everyone knew it, and this just proves it.
The determination of no “standing” in the vote fraud cases with a wide variety of sworn evidence, from states and other plaintiffs, while having accepted the algore hanging chad case, is clear evidence of corruption and failure of responsibility, IMHO.
It’s impossible to overstate the earthquake this will cause inside the Court, in terms of the destruction of trust among the Justices and staff.
Absolutely. Despite the sharp criticism of a justice’s reasoning by another justice in an opinion, they really are a collegial group. Before every argument, they shake hands all around. Outside the Court, they are friends despite differences in judicial philosophy. The Ginsbergs and Scalias used to vacation together.
Clerking for the Supreme Court is the golden ticket for any law graduate – job offers with huge salaries, law professorships. It is a privilege and an honor to clerk there.
And if it was a law clerk who did this, the person could be disbarred, and be unemployable, No firm wants to hire someone who doesn’t respect the need for confidentiality in legal matters.
It could also be a member of staff who types up drafts (although one assumes the clerks do that and distribute drafts by email.) It’s a February draft, so it’s unlikely it was someone in the print shop. They get the final draft for the public document.
It’s a law clerk for one of the Leftist Justices. I don’t think a clerical employee would throw themselves on a sword for an ideology. A law clerk…yes!
True, it probably was a law clerk, but it’s throwing away a legal career for…abortion rights? There could be some fanatic feminists clerking for Kagan or Sotomayor who somehow think they’ll be a hero to the left if they’re outed.
They aren’t worried. Look at the examples of the corruption and deceit they witness from most of the politicians everyday. They don’t face any repercussions for their actions. Especially if its for “the cause” . If they are outed, they’ll be hired by MSNBC. Or better yet, the Ministry of Truth.
D.C. — District of Corruption! Yes, every single day these people are emerged in a quagmire of backstabbing, lies, money changing hands, threats and just plain evil. That whole city is a plague on the nation at this point!
We need Jesus to overturn the money changers’ tables in that corrupt city of greed!
Any wagers on it being a Yale or Harvard grad?
Amit Jain is the clerk. Sotomayor. He is Yale grad that is on record with reporter in 2017 during the BK hearings
Are you kidding? The leaker already has a book deal lined up. Their golden parachute is packed and ready to deploy!
Planned Parenthood pension?
Literally blood money.
Tenure at University of Chicago Law school as a “constitutional scholar”. Sound familiar?
Let’s pray that it is true, and that the soft conservatives on the Court do not chicken out.
The pro-life groups have been making inroads with the younger generations – Millennials and younger. The servants of Moloch cannot abide that.
My 17 y.o. Gen Z son won’t even talk about abortion. It horrifies him through and through. He is very well aware that he was an unborn child not so long ago.
I used to follow Students for Life of America when I was on Facebook. They’re doing good work.
an “unborn child?”….that’s AMAZING….a 17-year-old still in the womb
Oh I think that’s entirely possible.
Except for the “brave” part.
Yes…get the black marker and draw a line through that.
Is a
braveradicalized clerk taking this unprecedented step of……..Fixed it for everyone.
Rallying their fellow ghouls.
I think this is likely. The leak was intended in order to pressure justices to change their mind.
I see this as another “look squirrel.” Now that they’re jabbing all the children and would-be mothers with poison death shots, in the name of “global health emergency,” who needs Roe -vs- Wade?
Instead of talking about Johnny Derp or our thoroughly corrupted Supreme Court, why don’t we focus on that VOTE this month to give a thoroughly corrupted WHO complete control over USA’s PLANdemic protocols?
If we’re so concerned about the sanctity of life, why don’t we talk about THAT?
Really think the support isn’t as broad as they think, but they are vocal.
Brave? Bunch of devils.
Uh, yeah. After it was reported Roberts was whining about rioting if they took any case on election fraud.
This is nothing but an attempt to rally the pitiful DEM base before the mid-terms.
Independents are like 80/20 pro-GOP when it comes to the economy but are unfortunately the inverse when it comes to the on-again, off-again culture wars.
In 2022, the DEMs sorely need something other than the economy to run on
^^ This ^^
Good points, JasonRoss. I agree.
This make no sense. The ruling is due out in June. The base would be energized either way.
Think they are testing the water? This would still give them time to scheme something else up if need be.
From AOC:
“Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
@AOC
·7h
People elected Democrats precisely so we could lead in perilous moments like these- to codify Roe, hold corruption accountable, & have a President who uses his legal authority to break through Congressional gridlock on items from student debt to climate.
It’s high time we do it.”
It was leaked for at least 2 reasons:
Exactly! I am an Independent. Pro America First on the economy and foreign policy. Two time voter for President Trump. But I am pro choice on abortion. Even though I switched my registration to Republican to vote for Kathy Barnette for Senate in PA, now I’m not so sure. She’s pro medical freedom when it comes to the jab, but I don’t agree with her on this. I m pro medical freedom in every circumstance. I don’t believe the government has the right to intrude on my medical decisions or my daughter’s (and we recently had a situation where this might have come into play, and with a guy where I truly feared for my daughter’s life. Long story).
Anyway, since this means the decision might be up to the states, I am seriously considering voting for the Democratic candidate for governor of PA. So if the intent was to divide us and get votes for democrats, they have succeeded.
They likely “obtained” it… from whoever they paid to write it.
Sorry. It’s Politico. I’m not buying it for a minute.
And they will keep it on page 1 until the uni-party passes their new $50 billion slush fund.
Exactly. Watch the left hand while the right hand is frantically waving for our attention.
Prayers up everyone!! O Lord hear our prayers🙏
Don’t care about the SCOTUS. I care about Federalism and in that the GOP states are a disaster while the democrat states have been doing it for decades. Other than reducing the federal budget by 80%, Federalism is the only strategy likely to succeed.
As in the Constitution. The Supreme Court has spit in the eye of God with Roe v Wade. Time for them to redeem themselves. I know that’s a long hope. But miracles do happen.
I suspect it is a legitimate draft which was leaked to reignite the court packing threat.
When the story first broke I immediately flipped the channel to MSNBC to see what the Left was saying.
Madcow said that they had contacted four former SCOTUS clerks who all reported that the draft appeared legitimate.
Derschowitz thinks it was leaked by a liberal clerk who was hoping to preserve Roe v Wade. (because the draft is legit) That’s his plausible theory. (The clerk would get disbarred) Thinks immediate action will be legislation to pack the court.
Hawley says the draft reads like Alito. “Plainly an attempt by the left to corrupt the process within the court.” Says Roberts will have to convene the court in the morning and demand the leaker come forward. “An egregious breach.”
The law clerk will get multiple job offers for a partnership with Lawfare!
Ha! Funny, not funny.😗
Not funny at all but probably true!
I bet a liberal clerk leaked this in order to cause riots and protests to intimidate the court.
An insurrection over………….abortion?
How far our country has fallen.
Wow. That’s some tight outfit they’re running.. right up there with the FISA Court. /s
I think they are releasing this before the midterms to provoke a reaction among pro choice independents since the Democrats have failed at everything else.
“pro choice” is liberal speak, a feel-good euphemism for dismemberment and murder.
YES.
I just used the term commonly used but I agree with you.
Perhaps by begging out, the real intent of these justices is to hand states like NY a clearer path to infanticide. By keeping infanticide out of Federal purview, the states can take it even further.
It’s not like the SC ruled infanticide as unconstitutional, they in fact handed over jurisdiction, like passing the hot potato.
We still have murder laws.
“ 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.”
Yup.
They know that Kavanagh and ACB are weakling and will respond to the widespread violence and media howls.
Not to mention Roberts, who reportedly was afraid to take the Texas 2020 election case.
If an authentic document, which fourth branch agency favors Politico?
An effort to trigger riots, perhaps?
I would keep a sharp eye out for the same crew that mobilized ostensibly AGAINST the Susan B. Komen people (breast cancer-fighting group) BY Planned Parenthood . . .
this was purportedly about standing up for “access” to women’s health care, including abortions as well as breast-cancer screenings at Planned Parenthood clinics . . .
but IMHO it was really about getting Obama’s 2012 campaign over the finish line and stimulating fund-raising for the DNC in general.
Planned parenthood is the cash cow for DNC. States should have the last call on laws. Federal government is a failure!!! All greedy arrogant geriatric legislatures love their power and will die in office. Now the ministry of cya truth!! These people are insane.
“Oh, noes…. the court is going far right, we must do something to fix it!”
Sounds like a line of reasoning to attempt to pack the Court again or other. Never mind that this only likely existed as hearsay or even if “real” it was only a matter of perception.
Again, all quite sketchy.
Remember how Obama just ended the Iraq war and moved on like nothing happened? And then Biden did the same thing with Afghanistan last year?
Well this SCOTUS “leak” has Obama’s fingerprints all over it too. The leak will gin up resistance which will intimidate SCOTUS which will get them to go the “right” way.
It’s all made up, it’s a false flag situation. But it ensures that SCOTUS goes the right way.
Obama through Biden is doing everything more overt now, that’s the next phase of his destruction of the USA. During the “No Drama Obama” presidency, which was a feint, John Roberts was clearly intimidated (EPstein, probably) into voting for gay marriage and ruling O-care constitutional. Now, since we’ve had 5 years of BLM and Antifa violence, SCOTUS is scared to death of the leftist mobs.
I hate that man, Obama. He is the one behind everything we see. He should be in Florence Supermax at the very least.
Roberts did not vote for same sex marriage, that was Anthony Kennedy. Roberts did chicken out of ruling against Obamacare, and that’s when the rumors began that the deep state had something on him.
The leaker must be found and dismissed from working in the court. Wokeism has infected everything.
If the accepted narrative is that there’s a leaker, I’m not buying it. Always consider the *opposite* of what the approved narrative is.
The powers-that-be WANT this out there. This media explosion is certainly not the provenance of one sniveling law clerk.
The whole case was very likely contrived to distract and to redirect at the opportune time, like when CONgress is starting WWIII, misappropriating funds and bending our laws to surrender to the WHO.
THIS is how the ENEmedia rolls.
That’s why the story was made up and leaked. To make SCOTUS scared.
So let’s advertise the leak was genuine and perhaps scare the court.
They call those barricades? Really? Have they learned nothing?!
Getting the theatrics ready.
Interesting that there’s an on-call Fence Committee at the Swamp’s request.
Interesting timing with the release of 2000 Mules too. Are the Ds and media in need of a distraction?
Rep. Jamie Raskin being interviewed by Rachel Madcow says, “What this means now is that we really need to turn out the vote.”
Exactly!

Will the outrage among supporters of Roe — reflected in a massive amount of written commentary on every detail of the Alito draft majority opinion in the coming weeks — become the ultimate crowdsourced draft dissent?
It’s a distraction from the 2000 mules
Along with a whole lot of other things.
Let’s run this by the new Ministry of Truth
Jury tampering. Real or forged, this is an attempt to work people into a lather to intimidate the court.
How might this impact the male birther vote?
Yes, but will abortion on demand still be legal for pregnant men???
All righty then. Apparently this is the first leak of a draft, since forever.
There’s a new person wearing a black robe at that address. Coincidence?
I wouldn’t be surprised if the latest justice added to the court were involved. You know, the activist who stated she can not define what a female is because she isn’t a biologist.
My thoughts as well.
My first thought too.
Is she even participating? That would make 10 justices.
Flipping the thought around, Breyer, who is leaving, could be falling on his sword to ‘protect the nation’.
News says he has already heard his last case.
She won’t participate until after Breyer’s departure but that doesn’t prevent her from being triggered.
Has she been sworn in?
No, but as an activist she can still be triggered.
She’s not sitting on the court yet.
The court is going to be angry at the leak. How might that affect the final decision?
Now we get court packing as a crazy leftist reaction right before the midterms. You think our polling is bad now? Hold our beer.
I think it might harden the votes as they are now. This leak is such an appalling breach of trust, that to change a vote because of this would mean that leaks can change votes – a terrible precedent to create.
Good point.
Due to the schizophrenic history of this court’s opinions, I must always view their actions through the question of, “What goal will this decision accomplish for the radical left?” They are not the captains of their ship.
A significant change to what is viewed(erroneously) by the left as a fundamental right in the First Amendment might be the softening blow to accustom the citizenry for assaults on authentic constitutional rights, especially the Second Amendment.
Under such a scenario, the abortion fanatics would surely be promised a return to genocide via legislation once the means to self defense have been confiscated.
Alternatively, an overturning of Roe could be an igniter to cause another round of 2020 style riots and mayhem to justify even more draconian control over the public, before the election and thereafter.
Something stinks and it ain’t Kagan’s unlaundered softball uniform.
Must add that the tortured logic of the Roe decision cites the 14th Amendment, conjuring implied rights.
Modern abortion supporters often cite the First Amendment also in a bizarre attempt to make the act the product of a religious decision.
Upvote to the writer above who mentioned this leak as a ploy to rally support for packing the court after first ending the filibuster.
Adult Abortion of all federal employees 69+ to clear the way for a revival. David killed 10000 as a man after God’s heart. Amen
The Supreme Court used to be Hallowed Ground. This unprecedented leak tells me our country is coming apart at the seams.
Everything that is America is being corrupted, and undone.
Traditions are undermined, culture and morality debased, individual dignity rejected. Build Back Better says it all, just do not ignore the fact that America will not continue to exist as we know it should they succeed.
The left has never played by the rules the right won’t prosecute for.
Sen. Amy Klobuchar being interviewed by Rachel Madcow says that abortion needs to now be codified into federal law but it will require elimination of the filibuster.
Like Raskin she calls to rally the Dem base for the mid term elections.
That law would be unconstitutional as well.
Some of the comments by the leftists over at mediaite, are openly discussing the storming of the SCOTUS building. Wont be the first time.
That’s insurrection.
Politico will be one of the first to report it as “A mostly peaceful protest”.
no, ‘mostly peaceful protests’ like the deadly attacks on and around the Portland courthouse
looks like the shiny object to take the heat off the billions going to the ukraine.i think it really doesn’t matter i feel it was gonna get overturned anyway.and really what does it do?just puts the issue back on the states to decide.so the blue states will still allow abortions and red states will not.
Exactly. My lib relatives can still kill off their kids, why the upset? \s
The outrage is ginned up because federal funding of planned parenthood it a huge slush fund for democrats. It’s always about the money. Money buys votes, and nice houses.
Imagine a developed nation that supports the legal killing of innocent babies without remorse upon the request of any pregnant woman.
And some wonder why God has removed his veil of protection.
Makes the built-in November ‘we came from behind in the name of “democracy”‘ result more believable for the masses.
It’s a draft opinion dated February 10, 2022. Remember Obamacare and what happened with it. Here’s a link that has good write-up on it.
The leak is the thing. It’s egregious, and clearly meant to give liberal groups almost two months before the term ends at the end of June to pressure the Court much like there was a pressure campaign against Chief Justice Roberts on Obamacare.
https://legalinsurrection.com/2022/05/leaked-draft-supreme-court-opinion-overturns-roe-v-wade-politico-reports/
SCOTUS decisions are released all the time. There is no requirement to wait to the end of the term. Traditionally, the most important decisions are released in June, but that is just tradition.
Traditionally, the majority waits to issue its opinion until the dissent has had a chance to write their opinions, and the majority has had a chance to incorporate its response to the dissent into the majority opinion.
The entire opus might get circulated several times, to allow a full exchange of views.
But that too is just tradition.
If I were Alito and certain other Justices, and if I did not get satisfaction in the morning through the firing of a certain law clerk, I might be tempted to finish what Sotomayor started when her clerk violated all tradition, go ahead and publish the majority opinion, and dissent be damned.
Issue the dissent later if they want, but make the reversal a done deal. No waiting for the Antifa intimidation riots.
See who takes the heat for the total breakdown of the SCOTUS then.
Probably lead to the impeachment of Justice Alito and Thomas at least. The Administration badly want another Justice selection in the next 5 months.
They will never get 2/3 Senate votes
