Well that's one way to save the mid-terms for the Democrat Party.
I have no doubt that was the idea, but it pains me to think someone in SCOTUS leaked it. I don’t think that’s ever happened before and that’s saying a lot coming from a town that leaks like a sieve.

Definitely has never happened. Pretty sure the documents are winnowed (fingerprinted) and the leaker will be identified and dealt with forthwith. They'll go on to have a lucrative career in an organization like the ACLU or similar.

Wouldn't it be great if Roberts was the leaker?
What a time to be alive!

Notable initial responses to the leak of the draft included:
www.dailywire.com
- SCOTUSblog: “It’s impossible to overstate the earthquake this will cause inside the Court, in terms of the destruction of trust among the Justices and staff. This leak is the gravest, most unforgivable sin.”
- Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL): “The next time you hear the far left preaching about how they are fighting to preserve our Republic’s institutions & norms remember how they leaked a Supreme Court opinion in an attempt to intimidate the justices on abortion.”
- Jonathan Turley, Shapiro Chair of Public Interest Law at George Washington University: “The alleged leak of the opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization is nothing short of breathtaking. It would constitute one of the greatest breaches of security in the history of the Court. The article represents the greatest crisis that Chief Justice John Roberts has faced in his tenure on the Court. It is a breach of the most fundamental obligations and traditions of the Court. If this is a true copy of the draft opinion it is hard not to view this as a malicious act. What is the motivation of releasing such a decision? The only intent of such a leak is to trigger a response from outside of the Court. This draft is from February and the majority can shift on such opinions. However, the act of leaking such a draft opinion ranks as an original sin for judicial ethics. The most likely motivation is obviously to pressure the Court and push the legislation in Congress on a federal abortion law before the midterm elections. It will also likely renew the call for court packing.”
- Josh Hammer, Newsweek: “Probably the greatest violation of unwritten ‘norms’ in the history of the Supreme Court. And I absolutely guarantee you the leaker spent years railing against President Trump’s undermining of norms.”
- Megyn Kelly, journalist: “The pathetic spineless leak of a draft SCOTUS opinion has the feel of something a sad little woke 20-something-year-old would do. The kind of person who thinks their personal agenda is ‘more important.’ Whoever did it should lose their law license.”
- Shannon Bream, Fox News: “Never seen anything even CLOSE to this in my 15 years covering #SCOTUS. Urge plenty of caution until an official opinion is eventually released.”
- Mike Cernovich, political commentator: “Leaking a draft SCOTUS ruling is worse than January 6th. The Court was the one institution where conservatives and liberals lived in peace and trust. You disagreed but the trust was sacred. This completely destroys the Court’s inner workings. Totally in shock right now.”
- David Reaboi, political commentator: “Obviously, one of the leftist judges leaked the Court memo to ignite protests and riots that would intimidate the justices. You will see this leaker be feted in the media.”
- Andy McCarthy, former federal prosecutor: “If this story is true, the Court should issue its opinion right away. Otherwise the disgraceful leak wins. I would say that if my side lost. If we lose the integrity of the Court’s process, we lose the Court. That should be intolerable to all of us who live the country.”
- Kevin Roberts, President of Heritage Foundation: “For too long, Roe v. Wade has poisoned our courts, our culture & our laws. We’ve lost millions of babies as a result. While I pray this deeply flawed decision is overturned, this leak is an egregious attempt by the left to threaten and intimidate the justices into backing down.”

Maybe a clerk leaked, don't believe it would have been a Justis or a jr attorney,, if so disbarment will follow.
Left Panics That Millions Of Babies Might Live
U.S.—Unconsolable wailing was heard across the country today as the left learned that there is a chance Roe v. Wade could be overturned, which would "lead to more babies being allowed to live."
The outcry from the left came after a leak from the Supreme Court indicated the justices drafted an opinion overturning Roe, stoking fears that millions more cute infants made in the image of God could be born instead of having their brains sucked out with a vacuum.
"No more babies! No more babies!"
Ocasio-Cortez joined the protesters, crying outside the barricade surrounding the Supreme Court in a dress reading "KILL THE BABIES."

It'll be one of very few times they properly left something back in the hands of the state.

Our Catholic Speaker of the House will kill babies and then go to Communion at a Catholic Church unbothered by the selling out of her religion and those in charge of that religion will do nothing about it.
Is it any wonder that the Catholic Church is losing people by the thousands.
If politicians can speak against the tenet's of the Church without being chastised by that Church, why should anyone else obey the rules.

I'm kind of glad of the outcome even though I personally don't have an issue with abortion. It's really not a SC job to be making laws. If a law is required to make abortion legal we have an institution set up just for it. Leaving it to the court to decide is a cowardly abdication of congress's power just to keep their hands off clean of a touchy subject.
In the meantime, POLITICO picks up the ball, using heated language to stoke more outrage:
Again, it is doubtful that anyone will get to this last paragraph. POLITICO conveniently buries the lede:
This is a bare knuckled effort to rally the bloodthirsty base, and pressure the Justices into voting to preserve Roe. It would be wise for pro-life conservatives to push back just as hard and expose POLITICO and the Left’s tactics.
Here’s my salvo. Pop your popcorn.
