A: I’m Confused Too

I'm confused.

I was reliably told that leaking an old Alito opinion was treasonous destruction of a sacred institution, but now the Court's conservative camp is just plainly describing to reporters the full behind-the-scenes tick-tock of the Dobbs case weeks before the decision. pic.twitter.com/frOnL4j0pA

B: It’s clear (IMHO, anyway) the leak first came from a conservative (the first leak was to the WSJ editorial board, which tells you all you need to know: I.e., these clowns know nothing about subtlety or covering their tracks), and the purpose was to keep Roberts in line. 

Which means the decision end up being may be 5-4 in favor of MS, but not of wiping Roe from the pages of history (the hardcore overplayed their hand). Which is almost too bad, Dems could use the political fire 🔥, but still better than the Alito buffoonery (98 pages? He needs more to do!). And the Democrats could still light some fires.

C: How’s that leak investigation going now, CJ Roberts? Sen. McConnell, any comments? Expect to expose that Justice soon? Maybe even impeach one?

Yeah, sure! That’ll happen!
