Cancun Cruz: 'Unimaginable' that justice would have leaked Supreme Court draft opinion

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (R) on Sunday said that he did not think any of the Supreme Court justices leaked the draft opinion overturning Roe v. Wade, pointing a finger at law clerks for the liberal justices.

“I do not believe any justice did that. I think it would be unimaginable for a justice to do this,” Cruz said of the leak on Fox News Channel’s “Sunday Morning Futures.”

Cruz’s remarks come after a leaked draft opinion, written by conservative Justice Samuel Alito, indicated the high court is set to overturn Roe v. Wade, the landmark decision that established the right to an abortion.

“Let’s start off with who has access to this opinion,” the senator said Sunday. “It is a very small pool of suspects. The court itself is a small institution. It’s a big building but small institution.”

Hey shit for brains, if a judge wanted to pressure a fellow member who was wavering on support of a repeal the leak would be a good way to do it.

1. I tend to agree that a justice didn't do this

They have to play the long game, there are vast numbers of cases in their tenure on the court (say 70 cases a year times 20 years yields a conservative 1400 cases) and that doesn't count the cert votes, shadow docket votes. No justice would risk being considered totally untrustworthy for the rest of their time on the court over one case. Now I think he is wrong about it being a liberal clerk but I do tend to agree it is likely a clerk.
