Was Justice Alito’s first draft of an opinion that overrules Roe v. Wade leaked to Politico by someone who knows it is, in fact, the court’s decision? I’m going to guess yes. The Supreme Court’s complete removal of federal protection for abortion rights proves the court is now dominated by a “bunch of partisan hacks,” despite Justice Barrett’s denial.
On top of the revelations about Justice Thomas’ fanatical wife Ginni, Chief Justice Roberts has much bigger problems to deal with than finding out who leaked the opinion. Does he even have any power, now that his vote is no longer needed to serve the conservative agenda?
