Supreme Court Leak Investigation Appears Not to Have Questioned Justices
< < Go Back
The Supreme Court investigation into the leaker of the draft decision to overturn Roe v. Wade failed to identify a culprit.
Politico published a leaked draft opinion for Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization on May 2, prompting protests and threats of violence to conservative justices at their own homes.
According to the Family Research Council, more than 100 attacks have occurred on churches, pro-life organizations, and pregnancy resource centers since the decision was leaked in early May.
The Court described the leak as “one of the worst breaches of trust in its history” and a “grave assault on the judicial process.”
“Some individuals admitted to investigators that they told their spouse or partner about the draft Dobbs opinion and the vote count, in violation of the Court’s confidentiality rules,” the investigation reads.
Some clerks at the Court have spouses in media, and some ovservers have speculated that the leaker may be former Justice Stephen Breyer clerk Elizabeth Deutsch, who has not only made most of her career out of being involved with the pro-abortion movement, but is also married to a reporter who has shared a Politico byline with the reporter who published the leaked opinion.
