Spencer wrote about this last night. The Supreme Court is set to strike down Roe v. Wade. A draft majority opinion was leaked to the press. Someone decided to shop the draft of the ruling for the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization case, which sent earthquakes through DC. So much for liberals being the defenders of institutions. So much for "the norms," right?
We have "woke" staffers leaking opinions to the press, shattering the trust among the justices and their staffers, and presenting the greatest security breach in the history of the Court. This was done to target the conservative wing. This was done to shake up the 2022 midterms cycle in favor of the Democrats. Yet, it might have been too early. It's only May. We have a long way to go before November.
The Supreme Court authenticated the draft and ordered the Marshal of the Supreme Court to launch an investigation. The FBI will be involved as well most likely, but one Democratic senator doesn't want that to happen.
Mr. Dark Money hypocrite Sheldon Whitehouse doesn't want the bureau to investigate the leak. He mentioned this during a Senate Judiciary hearing on judicial ethics today, which only makes the remarks richer. Nothing says judicial ethics than leaking a draft opinion. This is the most unforgivable sin, as SCOTUSblog noted.
While the left cheered the leaker(s), the responsible party faces being ostracized by the legal community, disbarment, and — if they lie in a potential FBI investigation — federal charges.https://t.co/SGIpFUtugm

Today, we consider what Congress can do to address judicial ethics and assure that the Supreme Court’s rules and practices merit the confidence and trust of the American people. https://t.co/3LQsfhc780

Wow @SenWhitehouse just said there should not be an investigation to determine the source of the supreme court leak!

IT'S SO CLEAR this was orchestrated and @SenWhitehouse wants to cover it up!!
.@SenWhitehouse argues the #DOJ should NOT investigate the #SCOTUS leak of Alito’s draft opinion. @SenJohnKennedy believes the DOJ should unleashed its full power to identify the leaker.

Whitehouse doesn't want a leak investigation because this really wasn't a leak. It wasn't done out of some patriotic duty. This isn't a whistleblower situation. It's a political operation. It's this Democratic Party still infuriated that Donald Trump picked three justices and got them all confirmed. It's about their affinity for infanticide. It's about trying to do anything to distract the American people from the disastrous leadership under Joe Biden.
It's the two separate rules complex again, folks. It's okay when we leak things. Also, you can't investigate them. The FBI is our political hit squad.
I sure hope Democrats understand the precedents they're establishing because I am not one of those people who will take the higher road.
