The best argument that the draft decision was leaked by a progressive HotAir

Both arguments sound plausible to me but I have to say that my first impulse was exactly the same as Allahpundit s. Last night I assumed it is was the work of someone on the left, probably someone working for Justice Sotomayor. This afternoon I caught up to a piece published earlier today by Bari Weiss which has sort of brought me back around to my initial suspicion.

There are really a couple of ways to look at this question. The first is cui bono? Who benefits from the leak. And as already mentioned, you really can make an argument for either side seeing some benefit in the leak. But there s another way to look at this. What type of person would be most likely to leak this? And that s where I think Weiss makes a compelling case that the most likely person is a young person on the left.

And who is this young hero or heroette? Or whatever other pronoun he/she/they would prefer to be addressed by? I would not want to be him/her/they(?). Still, think of the opportunities facing a young person in his/her/their(?) position. (Here the author resorts to “they,” for obvious reasons.) Personally, I can see why a person in their position might just decide, and hope to burn the whole thing down. But poor thing, that is not what is going to happen. Thank God. We’re not so far gone.
