In other words, it was a Conservative and they want to sweep it under the rug in hopes we won’t notice. We notice.

the Marshal’s team determined that no further investigation was warranted with respect to many of the ’82 employees [who] had access to electronic or hard copies of the draft opinion

“Many” = 82 minus x, where x = Sam Alito and his clerks.

they know it was a conservative, but as my grandfather used to say, they “keep shut up” - they just don’t want to admit

Is their “analysis” properly subject to a FOIA request?

Well I guess the Court is not very Supreme in the “arbiter of fact” department, are they?

Perhaps they should be renamed “the Mediocre Court?”

Maybe what the Supreme Court should do is read the local newspapers where there’s better reporting on what happened…at the Supreme Court.

It was one if their own so they “can’t find” the culprit. Having the mafia investigate organized crime is never gonna produce anything. What a charade .

That hasn’t seemed to bother them at all since they got the 6-3 majority. I’m actually kind of surprised that the report didn’t just say something to the effect of, “There is no Constitutional prohibition against circulating draft decisions outside of the Court itself, therefore there was no wrongdoing done…”
