I remain convinced Alito leaked it himself to create a distraction
- zeroonetwothree 4y agoBased on what evidence?
- PM_me_your_math 4y agoGut feelings, what else matters?
- shapefrog 4y agoMy uncle Jim said on facebook that his ex wifes stepson has a friend who works at the supreme court in the parking lot who told him it was definately true.
- irrational 4y agoGood enough for me!

- Aloha 4y agoI'm in broad agreement with you, Alito more than likely leaked it himself, which is why no leaker will be found, the justices are above scrutiny. Absent finding another person who we can prove did it, I'll hold on to that idea.
- fmajid 4y agoIt was to prevent Roberts or Kavanaugh from getting cold feet.
- LarryMullins 4y agoThat certainly makes a lot more sense than the "leaked as a distraction against.... unspecified" theory.
- saboot 4y agoI left it unspecified as I thought it was obvious it was to distract from allowing states to make it a crime to terminate a pregnancy in all cases.
- fmajid 4y agoIf Alito was indeed the leaker, that is an outcome he would cheer for, not one he would try to prevent.
- LarryMullins 4y agoThat doesn't make any sense, both are about abortion. Getting people to talk and think about one will naturally draw attention to the other.
- fsckboy 4y ago> It was to prevent Roberts or Kavanaugh from getting cold feet. why wouldn't it embolden them to prove the leaker wrong, making the wage of their sin irrelevance? It's just not a strong case. It's as least as likely it leaked from the left to create a political firestorm. We don't know.

- fsckboy 4y agoit's fine that you have the opinion you do, but to say there is a likelihood from zero evidence is a bit silly.
- tomcam 4y agoI couldn’t find any evidence in that article? Just Alito and the Court denying he was responsible?
- ceejayoz 4y ago> The big picture: Rev. Rob Schenck, a former anti-abortion leader, previously told the New York Times that he learned of court's 2014 decision on Burwell v. Hobby Lobby weeks in advance, prompting a review from the Senate Judiciary Committee. That's evidence. Testimony is evidence.
- readthenotes1 4y agoYour article states that one person says he did and two people say he did not. The guy who claimed it is a known liar. https://www.theepochtimes.com/reverend-who-accused-supreme-court-justice-of-leaking-decision-lied-in-book-hearing_4912674.html https://www.theepochtimes.com/reverend-who-accused-supreme-c...
- ceejayoz 4y agoWhile we're worrying about that, the Epoch Times are similarly known liars. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Epoch_Times https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Epoch_Times
- _-david-_ 4y agoDid I miss something? The article claims Alito did it, but Alito never admitted it and no investigation came to the conclusion he did.

- tomcam 4y agoThat’s about someone who had dinner with Alito, and that person claims Alito talked about it at dinner. So secondhand secondhand reporting.
- readthenotes1 4y agoand we know one if them is a liar https://www.theepochtimes.com/reverend-who-accused-supreme-court-justice-of-leaking-decision-lied-in-book-hearing_4912674.html https://www.theepochtimes.com/reverend-who-accused-supreme-c...
- mulderc 4y agoI think this report does suggest that one of the justices leaked it and Alito is the top candidate. Based on statements from the justices about this, I’m starting to look at Barret also but we will likely never know.
