So, it was probably Alito who leaked the Dobbs decision
I remember reading that Roberts was trying to lobby the conservatives to let Roe stand, but his efforts became meaningless once the draft opinion leaked. Now it turns out that Alito is probably the Chief Leaker of the Supreme Court.
So, once again, a GOP accusation (that some liberal clerk leaked the Dobbs draft) is just a hidden confession.
In early June 2014, an Ohio couple who were Mr. Schenck’s star donors shared a meal with Justice Alito and his wife, Martha-Ann. A day later, Gayle Wright, one of the pair, contacted Mr. Schenck, according to an email reviewed by The Times. “Rob, if you want some interesting news please call. No emails,” she wrote.
Mr. Schenck said Mrs. Wright told him that the decision would be favorable to Hobby Lobby, and that Justice Alito had written the majority opinion. Three weeks later, that’s exactly what happened. The court ruled, in a 5-4 vote, that requiring family-owned corporations to pay for insurance covering contraception violated their religious freedoms. The decision would have major implications for birth control access, President Barack Obama’s new health care law and corporations’ ability to claim religious rights.
Justice Alito, in a statement issued through the court’s spokeswoman, denied disclosing the decision. He said that he and his wife shared a “casual and purely social relationship” with the Wrights, and did not dispute that the two couples ate together on June 3, 2014. But the justice said that the “allegation that the Wrights were told the outcome of the decision in the Hobby Lobby case, or the authorship of the opinion of the Court, by me or my wife, is completely false.”

He is denying that, though of course he is. One only has to listen to his gloating speaches to the Catholics & RWNJ Federalist Sociaty to see that he loves to brag and toot his own horn. He probably just can't help bragging to his dinner guests.

So a couple accuses Alito of disclosing to them at a social dinner that the Hobby Lobby decision would support freedom of religion and the NYT and our local Swill leftists take this as proof Alito leaked the Roe opinion?

Just wondering if you have a dictionary. If you do look up the word "probably".

I am not a leftist. I just think you’re a disingenuous poster with a great deal of insecurity and inability to deal with conceptual complexity.

So far it applies to no one who has posted on this topic then.
