Former President Trump suggested the Supreme Court look to the journalists at Politico who broke the bombshell story last month that a draft opinion penned by Justice Samuel Alito would overturn Roe v. Wade, to find who leaked the document.
The story, written by reporters Josh Gerstein and Alexander Ward, hinged on a leaked draft ruling from the court that sent shockwaves across the political and media landscape. The draft outlined the conservative majority’s decision to overturn Roe, a landmark case that ruled abortion was constitutional.

I’m sure they already know who leaked it. My bet is Roberts.

hey, the bidet says there are first amendment limits - you can't yell "Fire!" in a crowded theater.
What if there is a fire? Besides, you can - but there may be consequences.
If there are going to be severe limits on my 2nd, 4th and other amendment rights I have no objection to the press being liable for their lies, libel, slander and protecting criminals.

They know who leaked. I don't think it was Roberts. I think it was a clerk for one of the justices. My bet is a woman and her religion is "abortion."

They know. They just won't tell since it is a Democrat activist. If it were a Republican, it would have been all over the internet by now.

The SC can find out who leaked the document, if they choose to do it.

If Trump was President and it was something that was going to help the liberals, it would have been 24/7 news until they hung and put the person who leaked it in jail.

Chief Just-Us Roberts and the Supreme Joke desperately want to avoid finding the truth. Just as their decisions are based on politics, so to their investigations. Chief Just-Us Roberts would hate to damage the leftist on the court that actually run this country try.

They went to reporters for bidens diary even when they didnt print anything from it. I think that was an agressive search and seizure by none other than the corrupt fbi.

It’s a steaming hot item, offer the reporters a million bucks and see if they spew.

I think the Supremes feel it would be unseemly for the FBI and the Just-Us Department to push this to the point of locking up a Politico reporter for contempt of court until he/she reveals identity of the leaker.

The leaker is Roberts or Sotomayor. No justice in the 5-member majority would leak the draft opinion. Bryer is a distinguished justice with a great reputation to protect. He would never think of dishonoring the court. Kagan is an ethical individual. No clerk would risk his or her future by leaking the draft. All clerks have a promising career to look forward to.
No good faith investigation is going on because the leaker is Sotomayor or Roberts, and in either case. Roberts knows. The longer this drags out the more I suspect Roberts. The White House was tipped off that Roberts switched his vote in the Obamacare case, probably when he told his blackmailer he would switch. It's probable that the leak of the Dobbs draft opinion was Robert's 2nd leak. He skated regarding the Obamacare leak and concluded a 2nd leak posed little risk to himself, especially as he effectively controls the alleged investigation. As the Church Lady said,
"Well, isn't that special?"

I just do not believe the leak came from Robert's offices. He was too angry about it having happened under his watch. My guess is one of the liberal lady justices doing it. I will be very surprised if this is Roberts. He loves his cushy position too much to rock the boat like this. He doesn't like being embarrassed by underlings.

My theory: They know who did it, but whoever it is (clerk or justice) is from a "marginalized group" to whom the rules that govern the rest of us don't apply. So nothing will be done.

They know who it is. It's just a matter of time when that will be leaked.

Whoever did this must be disbarred from the legal profession for life.
