The latest 9 days wonder is that someone on the inside at the Supreme Court has leaked a preliminary draft of their upcoming abortion decision. The draft tosses out Roe v. Wade and disavows a 'constitutionally protected' right of abortion. Court watchers claim this kind of decision leak has never before happened.
Should the court turn the regulation of abortion over to our elected representatives, presumably the states would authorize, regulate, or ban abortion. Many "red" states would severely restrict or ban it. "Blue" states would likely make it freely available. CA and CO have already indicated they would become destinations for out-of-state abortion travel.
It is widely believed this leak was done by someone, either Justice or clerk, who strongly opposed overturning Roe and hoped to create enough uproar to kill it. I presume the Court will conduct a witch-hunt to find and punish the miscreant. That person, if identified, will lose their law career and have a new career as a progressive martyr.
Steve Hayward at Power Line writes “the mole hunt” for the leaker is already underway. I’m hearing echoes of John le Carre’ in that label.
