The leak of a draft U.S. Supreme Court opinion striking down the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion has spurned intense national debate over the identity of the leaker and whether the person could face criminal or other sanctions.

COULD LEAKING A SUPREME COURT RULING BE PROSECUTED AS A CRIME?

Anyone who lies to an investigator as part of the court's leak probe could also face a federal false statement charge, said Kel McClanahan, an adjunct professor at George Washington University Law School who specializes in national security law.Chief Justice John Roberts said Tuesday that he has directed the court's marshal to investigate the leak, calling it an "egregious breach." Roberts said the draft decision was authentic but not final.

Leaking a draft opinion would be a violation of court confidentiality rules and could result in disbarment, Kerr said. "This is the most egregious violation of confidentiality for a staff member or employee of the court that you can imagine," he said.

who gives a shit?

Not as illegal as confirming the gov is indiscriminately gathering data on all of us.

Yes. It's also criminal to cover up the Pizer Data coming out now about the deaths and I juries from the mandatory experimental injections.

Whistleblowers are 👌🙏👏🫶🤞🤙✊🏿

Abortion, does not take away the rights of religious people ! 😳 🤔 😡 👀

My best guess at the translation of the protesters sign is “abortion is gay healthcare”. 🤷‍♂️

Maybe this “leak” is a distraction from the 90k+ pages of court ordered Pfizer documents released last night.

Is it illegal to leak a U.S. Supreme Court opinion? Short answer: It is not illegal unless the information was obtained illegally. 'Drafts of Supreme Court opinions are not classified documents like national security files'

Most of those on the Supreme Court are probably leaking themselves already...and wearing DEPENDS

If abortion is healthcare, then it is the state's business.

Who cares we’re not American

Did politico pay the leaker?

Is it illegal to kill a baby?

Whether or not is legal an in the interest of the Supreme Court might lie in the views of the Supreme Court.

U.S. Supreme Court abortion law leak puts new focus on Conservative leadership candidates' viewsA U.S. Supreme Court leak indicating a reversal of the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling is prompting the Conservative Party of Canada’s leadership candidates to publicize their stance on abortion rights. It has nothing whatsoever to do with Canada or Canadians. This is pure distraction. Once again the far-left controlled Trudeau regime spins a false narrative about Canada & the Conservative Party. If the Conservatives wanted to get rid of abortion laws they could've done so in the 10 years under Harper.
