“I don’t know who did it, their motives,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC). “I don’t care what your motives were, you did a lot of damage to our country and I don’t know if we can repair this, but we’ll try.”

“This lawless action should be investigated and punished as fully as possible,” McConnell said in a statement. “The Chief Justice must get to the bottom of it and the Department of Justice must pursue criminal charges if applicable.”

“One of the court’s most essential and sacred features was smashed just to buy the outrage-industrial complex a few extra days to scream nonsense about what the court might rule,” McConnell added.

Sens. Mike Braun, Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley and Mitt Romney all called for the matter to be investigated and the leaker punished, even if some of them publicly cheered the ruling written by Justice Samuel Alito.

Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) called for the Biden administration to investigate, although Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) publicly wondered what law the leaker broke.

“We’re about to find out what our Department of Justice is made of,” Kennedy said. “We have had an unprecedented leak. As despicable as it is dangerous.” 

Watch the donut, not the hole.

Few things more futile than a good ol' Washington leak hunt.

And somewhere out on the fringes of reason:

In her confirmation hearings, Justice Sotomayor testified that she accepted the Supreme Court's holding in Heller regarding an individual right to bear arms. The next year, in McDonald, she joined Breyer's dissent criticizing that decision and rejecting its incorporation.

When Sotomayor writes an opinion that says "Heller was aggressively wrong from the start" and that it must (and will) be overruled, get back to me, mkay? Declining to incorporate the reasoning of Heller in another case, and criticizing some of the reasoning of Heller, is equivalent to withdrawing a constitutional right after 50 years?  Please tell me the last time the Court did this, and then we can talk about Sotomayor's confirmation hearing.

Yep. https://t.co/iglQJgNKbr

Something like 21 states have laws which outlaw abortion entirely the moment Roe is overturned. Try to keep up, will ya? Women in Texas will have to travel to New Mexico (or Mexico) for abortions. Most of them can barely afford to travel across town. (I'm quite sure you have no idea how large Texas is.  If you set out to drive from East Texas to California, by the time you got to El Paso, you'd be halfway there.) But sure, abortion won't be banned across the U.S. Just banned in the second most populous state in the union, and environs (Oklahoma is hard at it; you think Louisiana and Arkansas won't follow suit?). It may come as a surprise that the majority of the country doesn't actually live in the BosWash.

Amazon will reimburse U.S. employees who travel for abortionshttps://t.co/AHUFsWSZAh
