A singular and egregious breach
Investigate! Investigate now!
Investigate what?
The leak! The leak the leak the leak!
Not the corruption?
Chief Justice Roberts said that there would be an investigation of the SCOTUS leaker, but he has done nothing about Clarence and Ginni Thomas.
We at the Court are blessed to have a workforce – permanent employees and law clerks alike – intensely loyal to the institution and dedicated to the rule of law. Court employees have an exemplary and important tradition of respecting the confidentiality of the judicial process and upholding the trust of the Court. This was a singular and egregious breach of that trust that is an affront to the Court and the community of public servants who work here. I have directed the Marshal of the Court to launch an investigation into the source of the leak.
Conflicts of interest, however, we don’t give a rat’s ass about – unless it’s some pesky liberal justice doing it.
We are still waiting for Chief Justice Roberts to announce the investigation into Justice Thomas and his wife for their conflicts of interest, corruption, and activities surrounding the 1/6 attack.
We might as well wait for Donald Trump to say something intelligent. Ain’t gonna happen.
Although my initial knee-jerk reaction was that the leak came from a pissed-off liberal, I have been persuaded by the argument that the leak is more likely to have come from the conservative side. Possibly the Chief Justice, hoping that the backlash will persuade Kavanaugh or Barrett to go with Roberts’ preferred approach of eviscerating Roe without explicitly overruling it, but more likely from Alito or Thomas’s chambers, hoping to “lock in” votes for this screed masquerading as a judicial opinion.
If it ever comes out that this is the case, it would be amusing to see all of the Fox News blowhards demanding prosecution pull an Emily Litella and say “never mind….”
“launch an investigation”
Why not just say “investigate”?
I assume because the Marshall of the Court doesn’t personally investigate? That it’s a chain of command type deal?
Some law clerk will be the fall guy.
Well Roberts may very well end up investigating the Thomases. I have 2 theories as to who did the leaking: Ginni Thomas or John Roberts.
