Supreme Court Justice John Roberts tried to persuade his fellow conservative justices against fully dismantling Roe v. Wade, but the infamous opinion leak in May thwarted his already long-shot efforts, CNN reported on Tuesday.
Which is exactly why one of his fellow Conservative nutjobs leaked it.
That’s the smoking gun right there. I said it from the beginning, that the instant the right stops screaming about the leak we’ll know they’d traced it to a fanatical right wing nutjob, either Uncle Thomas or one of his brown shirt goons. And when was the last time you heard so much as a peep about it out of fucking McConnell, or Faux noise? Kind of wish we had a functioning press in this country so they could shove the right’s nose into their fucking lies.
Roberts looks even weaker and more ineffectual.
Bulls***. There was never any chance of salvaging that precedent. You’re trying to tell me Kavanaugh or Barrett would have saved Roe? Hah! I don’t believe it.
Oh, boo-hoo. Little Johnny isn’t upset about the Dobbs outcome. Rather, he haz a sad that the opinion of the SCROTUS now hovers among that of Congress, nails on a chalkboard and lima beans.
He would have preferred to dismantle Roe bit-by-bit, to achieve the same goal whilst avoiding the negative publicity.

Ya don’t say.
By the way, how’s that investigation to “find” the leaker going?
The same as OJ finding the “real killer”…
Yeppers.
Obviously more than a few people know the who, when, how and precisely why about the leak.
… and it is now mighty clear that it was not some “liberal” clerk … or “ANTIFA” … or “Sasquatch” …or some other phony scapegoat.

Which pretty much confirms what many of us have been saying all along — that it was someone in the court’s right wing, probably Alito or one of his clerks (with Alito’s blessing or at his instruction), who leaked the draft.
As roberts is well aware, the fascist five control the corrupted scotus and they fully intend to jam their right-wing ideology down the nation’s throat despite the constitutional violations that might be involved.
As plucky and others have said - they will break any precedent to advance their ideological bent and they’ll blame any negative consequences on Democrats. Hypocrisy shall be enshrined in their rule.
I think Roberts looks even more political/Republican.
That is what Roberts attempted was to legally deprive women the right to choose what to do with their own bodies but put it in political terms so he could deny that is exactly what “The Roberts Court” did and above all, save Republicans from the inevitable backlash at the ballot box.
I vote for sasquatch cuz it sounds more believable…
Remember when it was said that the courts should not legislate??
(lays head on desk)
They all lied under oath about Roe vs Wade in their confirmation hearings. They are clearly guilty of perjury. Why is there no legal remedy for this?
When with Fascist Five change their wardrobe to tan robes and jack boots?
I just don’t like Hillary, but Sasquatch seems nice and all that dishy hair!
