Supreme Court Wants Law Clerks' Cell Phone Records In Leak Probe

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Officials investigating the leak of a Supreme Court draft opinion on abortion are reportedly moving to require law clerks to give up their cell phone data and sign affidavits that could be used against them.

Citing three unnamed sources with knowledge of the situation, CNN reported Tuesday that some of the clerks reacted with alarm to the request for their private records, and some are looking into hiring attorneys.

The exact language of the affidavits and time frame of the records request is not yet clear, CNN noted.

The investigation into the leak is intensifying as the Supreme Court prepares to release a final opinion on the abortion rights case, Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, in the coming weeks.

1. I can see it now! SCOTUS is sued by law clerks.

Clerks know a lot about the innerworkings of their Justices. SCOTUS should be careful making them angry.

2. It's a measure of the wisdom of the justices that they're starting a fight with the "little people."

I am a little people. Don't fuck with us.

3. It's like don't screw with tech support!

You'll forever be sorry. These people wrote your rulings when you said this was unconstitutional to do. Funny how that works, ain't it?!
