re: #89 ckkatz

From what I am currently seeing, the most likely cause for the Supreme Court leak was the Roberts-Alito fight. Uncertain which side actually released it.

Maybe Alito’s side leaked it in order to cement the 5 justice majority supporting it.

Maybe Robert’s side leaked it to try and weaken the 5 justices and get them to support a less complete ban. Robert’s has lost control of things and realizes his name is going down next to Taney as the most despicable court in US history.

And there is the added benefit of getting the outrageous decision out early in the election cycle in the hope it will burn out by Fall.

I suspect though, that no matter which side leaked it, they both will blame the uninvolved.

It definitely won’t burn out, because the closure of abortion clinics in most of the country won’t start until this summer.
