Well, f*ck Moscow Mitch and all his flying monkeys.

Once again trying to redirect the narrative. Assholes, the lot of 'em.

And that includes you, too, Sen Collins, you miserable POS.

“This lawless action should be investigated and punished to the fullest extent possible”

What law is that?!?

Yeah it always pisses you off when somebody publishes a spoiler. But again, here there was question on the result of this case, no matter what the nominees had told Susan Collins.

Either they leaked it themselves to manufacture all their countermessaging about “insurrection” before the J6C hearings kick off in June OR

THE WORD YOU ARE LOOKING FOR IS WHISTLEBLOWER.

This exposed the corruption and rot under the robes, not least of which is to evade questions and tell BALD FACED LIES TO CONGRESS TO GET CONFIRMED. And don’t forget the abject, rabid cultural resentment bordering on hate that it exposed too.

“Leaks” are never anything to complaint about unless what they exposed can’t stand the antiseptic light of day.

“I want all nine Justices to know there are still principled Senators…

but they’re certainly not republicans.

What’s going to happen with McC if it is determined that it was either one of the justices or one of their spouses (there’s really only one that would be possible) that did the leak?

Wanna bet he drops this whole idea like a hot potato.

As always, when the cult leaders speak their words are meant only for their cult members. They have no interest in speaking to the sentient.

IMO the leak was from a cult member. But I really don’t care about the leak, only about their fascist policy.

I don’t think we’ll ever find out who leaked it. They’ll try to get some mileage out of it, but the real damage has been done.

fumed House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) in a statement. “This clearly coordinated campaign to intimidate and obstruct the Justices from upholding the Constitution must be immediately investigated"

So how many abortion cases have made to the SC since Roe v Wade? How many times have Justices had the opportunity to do with the argument they are using now to strike down Roe? And Kev…like how many chances has the court had to correct this since Mitch has been in DC?

Would seem there are at least several per term, from what I can extrapolate.

Just like that hot potato was suppose to resign after J6th, right Kevin?

I love their surety that a Democrat leaked the draft.

I see someone gloating over the death of Roe accidentally hitting all send.

Oops.

Lots of speculation that the leak was from a conservative Justice’s clerk worried about Kavanaugh or Barrett jumping ship before the decision.

Poor Kev. Armed attack on the Capitol of the United States of America, his workplace? No BFD says he.

Deflection, distraction, and general derpitude.

If it was them or some republican aide/clerk, then Moscow Mitch ALREADY KNOWS ABOUT IT AND WHO IT IS.

They were way…WAY…too prepared to instantaneously flip the switch to scream “insurrection worse than January 6th” in unison as a coordinated messaging campaign the SECOND the whistleblowing became public. I won’t believe this was some “leftist” or concerned citizen as opposed to them manufacturing their own grievance countermessaging unless and until it’s proven.

And if it IS some concerned whistleblower, I’d bet dollars to donuts that they did it because the GQP was planning to drag their feet on releasing the opinion until after the mid-terms.
