Supreme Court Swears They Cannot Find Leaker of Dobbs Decision
Yeah sure. The Supreme Court of the United States asserts today that after a nine-month investigation [SEE HERE] they just cannot find the person who leaked the draft of Justice Samuel Alito’s opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.
The draft opinion on the abortion issue was leaked to Politico from inside the court in May 2022 in what the court calls “one of the worst breaches of trust in its history.” However, despite their efforts to get to the bottom of the leak and find the leaker, they cannot find out who it was.
The court then delivers a two-page memo explaining the situation, and a 23-page report from former Secretary of Homeland Security, Michael Chertoff.

This reminds me of the Carter Page FISA leak on March 17, 2017, when the FBI investigator found the leaker, James Wolfe, but when push came to shove into court the DOJ official position evolved into the FISA was never leaked. Obviously, Senate Intelligence Committee (SSCI) Vice-Chair Mark Warner (D-VA) breathed a sigh of relief. Similarly, whoever the leaker of the Dobbs decision was/is also safe now.
It’s odd how DC always finds a way to protect itself. Something akin to “prosecution was declined” whenever FBI unlawful conduct is discovered.
In the SCOTUS leak example, we are supposed to pretend every possible avenue of investigation was exhausted and yet the rascal leaker couldn’t be found. The “Marshal of the Supreme Court” did her earnest best but came up empty. Probably because the leaker is hiding with the January 6th pipe bomber. Yeah, gottabe.
