NYT said such a leak hasn't happened in decades.
it is unheard of. some clerk is going to get fired/thrown in jail.
A lot of melodrama. The right wingers upset about the leak would be doing the exact opposite if there was a leak confirming the SCOTUS planned to uphold RvW. As would I probably.
At this point why should the SCOTUS be immune from the same political forces everyone else needs to suffer under? It is not enough that they have lifetime appointments and are the final authority on law in this country. They must also be allowed to work in total secrecy?
scotus doesnt work in total secrecy. their opinions get published, this is a working draft duh. leaks do not happen at the judicial level, since ya know, lawyers/judges should keep shit confidential. this destroys any trust in the system.
a draft legal judgment being leaked has profound consequences. if you knew how a judge would rule, you can make a lot of money from the inside information as well, courts usually deal with commercial matters all the time.
fyi theres a theory the leak was done by a conservative justice to strengthen the decision, the leak to politico was to a former fox nat security reporter... not a court reporter at any of the other major papers.
