In a surprising statement to The Wall Street Journal today, Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito says he has a “pretty good idea” who leaked a draft opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. He added “It was a part of an effort to prevent the Dobbs draft…from becoming the decision of the court. As I have previously written, this was a crushing blow to the Court and its traditions of integrity and civility. What is even more troubling is that, if the culprit were to come forward, the individual would likely be lionized by many. However, that may not occur for some time since this person likely wants to continue to practice as a lawyer despite violating an oath, making false statements, and disrupting the highest court.
