Who Leaked the Dobbs Draft? | Opinion

Nearly four months have passed since the leak of Justice Samuel Alito‘s opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health and we’re apparently no closer to knowing who did it and how. We also don’t know why the leaker did it, though that’s probably less important for repairing the damage done to the Supreme Court. Of course, if the most likely explanation is true, that a left-wing clerk was trying to shame one of the members of the majority to pull back from overturning Roe v. Wade, then the gambit backfired spectacularly, instead steeling the Justices’ spines and thus could serve as an object lesson to disincentivize future leaks.

Apparently these “who leaked” investigations are notoriously difficult. It’s not surprising that the Court is unable to figure out who the culprit is.
