I don't know how SCOTUS works. Considering the age of the judges, I wouldn't be surprised if they have a bunch of secretaries and admin assistants with access.

I don't know how SCOTUS works. Considering the age of the judges, I wouldn't be surprised if they have a bunch of secretaries and admin assistants with access. Hell, cleaning staff could have seen and photocopied it. It's also conceivable (although I find it less likely) a conservative leaked it because they were afraid of a defection. Now any defection would look like caving to public opinion. You certainly lay out a possible case, but I don't think they available information warrants such confidence (especially naming a specific person)

> You certainly lay out a possible case, but I don't think they available information warrants such confidence (especially naming a specific person) That's absolutely true, that part is just speculation. (and FWIW, it's not my theory either, I just paraphrased the social media chatter) But my point is that the number of candidates is limited. (and I disagree with you about the plausibility of a Republican leak, given that it was leaked to Politico)
