Who leaked the memo?

Last edited Mon May 2, 2022, 11:54 PM - Edit history (1)

This is actually really important. Not as important as Clarence Thomas still serving on that court, but . . . all hell is going to break loose in so many ways.

Someone (on DU?) speculated that if it leaked now, they believe WE WILL FORGET ALL ABOUT IT by the time the decision is official.

They are wrong.

My completely unsubstantiated guess is that it came from somewhere in Sotomayor's office. tritsofme May 2022 #2
My guess would be Gini Thomas. N/t FSogol May 2022 #3
Just as plausible it came from a Christofascist judge so we focus on the leak scandal Arazi May 2022 #5

With the thought that if some major outrage can be generated before June, there is at least some hope the final opinion could be narrowed, or even get one of them to flip.

And not Roe getting obliterated

My bet’s on The Handmaiden. She’s the newest and less wedded to protocol. Probably just too giddy to sit on the news

to cause the outrage that is happening now... in the hope that it swings 1 vote to the Roberts position (uphold the Mississippi 16 week ban but leave Roe intact).

That hope is forlorn I'm afraid.

I hope we're still going to lock his ass up and the other terrorists.
