Can the Supreme Court Keep a Secret If Roe Is Going Down?
December 3, 2021
As is traditional, the Justices of the Supreme Court met in conference today to vote on the cases they heard this week and assign authorship of the opinions.
That includes Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, in which the Court has been asked to overturn its 1973 abortion decision in Roe v. Wade.
It appeared, from Wednesday’s argument, that there was a significant chance that there may be five votes to overturn Roe.
The nearly seven-month delay, while customary in big Supreme Court cases, raises a number of questions if, in fact, Roe ends up falling.
If the Court is doing something as dramatic — and as upsetting to the sorts of people who clerk for the liberal justices — as overturning Roe, will it be able to keep that a secret for seven months? The Court in modern times has had a remarkable record of keeping the justices, the law clerks, and the rest of the Court’s personnel sworn to secrecy about even the most momentous pending cases.
Rumors have cracked that more often in recent years, especially in Obamacare cases, but we have never really seen the dam break.
It will be quite impressive if it can keep a secret this time — and if it can’t, we may see a pressure campaign on the Court (or worse, violence) unprecedented in modern times.
The most famous leak in the Court’s history dates back to 1857, when the Court decided Dred Scott v. Sandford on March 6, two days after James Buchanan’s inauguration.

Clearly, someone spilled the beans. Was it one of the Wise Fatina's clerks?

If the perp is determined, they won't be able to get a job as a paralegal afterwards...
Obama will see that the perp is protected as a hero of the left, I suspect.
Please. MSNBC or CNN will be proud to employ them. So would Planned Parenthood and hundreds of lefty "think tanks", PACs, etc...

But not as a liar... err, lawyer. Even those kinds will recognize the danger of letting someone who's a total rat handle their sensitive information.
I think they will trust him. Rats run in packs.
