Supreme Court says it cannot determine who leaked draft Dobbs opinion

I don’t think they care at all how the Court is perceived, save Roberts.
Alito was directly accused of leaking the Hobby Lobby decision. Where was the investigation on that one? Where was the outrage?

80 employees of the Court received digital copies of the draft prior to the leak. 34 of them admitted to printing out physical copies of the draft. Many of them told their spouses about the draft.
The leak could have been any one of those people or even multiple people. Anyone who is convinced it was a conservative or is convinced it was a liberal is simply looking through a filtered lens.

It was never going to be a serious investigation. They have too much to hide.
Regardless of the leak, Dobbs is going to be the gift that keeps on giving to the left, until it's overturned.
It won't be "overturned"
It will end up "codified" as a right. Which the same Court will then upend as "unconstitutional", based on some random religious nonsense.
Until abortions are legal again in the United States, the issue will favor democrats.
I didn’t know it was illegal in the USA now? You can’t get an abortion in Democrat run states?
As a nation it is illegal now. There is no right to it at a federal level and legislation won't likely change that.
No. There is no federal ban.
The federal government isn't protecting the right to have an abortion. There's a nuance there, and it's an important one.
Maybe you're not looking to negotiate,.. maybe you're looking to burn the house down.
And in the meantime, hundreds of women in "red states" will die during pregnancy, of easily addressable conditions that cannot be treated "until their lives are in danger".
If it could have been any of the 84 people, mathematically it was twice as likely to be a conservative.
Not the marshal for a start. She reports to the SCOTUS, and is their employee.
If Roberts really wanted to get to the bottom of it he could have asked for help from DoJ, or hired outside investigators. There are people who do this stuff for corporations and other entities with security breaches. Ex Feds who have carried high level security clearances and can be paid to be discreet could have been hired. He could have empowered them to put everyone under the microscope.
It has been reported that some former clerks who had access to the Dobbs draft were not interviewed because they no longer work at the SCOTUS. That seems like an opportunity lost.
Independent investigator. Inspector Gadget could have done a more thorough job.
It's called critical thinking and calling out the obvious. Who controls the court again?
Likely true, though. With this court if it was a lib they would have screamed it from the rafters.
Why the laughing emoticons? Numbers alone suggest it was from one of R Justices
Probably. I sure wouldn't mind getting paid to essentially do nothing.
Clearly it was a conservative to take the wind out of the sails of the actual upcoming ruling. It was gonna happen 100% this was their attempt to limit unrest.
