Supreme Court officials are escalating their search for the source of the leaked draft opinion that would overturn Roe v. Wade, taking steps to require law clerks to provide cell phone records and sign affidavits, three sources have told CNN

Some clerks are apparently so alarmed over the moves, particularly the sudden requests for private cell data, that they have begun exploring whether to hire outside counsel. The court's moves are unprecedented and the most striking development to date in the investigation into who might have provided Politico with the draft opinion it published on May 2.

Why privacy experts are warning against using period-tracking apps 01:57There are protocols for handling drafts of court opinions, which circulate electronically on a closed system, separate from the computer system the justices and court employees use to communicate with people outside the court. Yet it is possible for printed copies to leave the building under even innocent circumstances, as work is taken home.Court officials are secretive even in normal times.

It probably was Ginni.

Liberal my ass.

How many people had access and how hard is it to find forensic evidence of who leaked it. Answer if it’s a leftist nearly impossible. If it was a right wing leak the trial would have started.

Is it possible that a judge leaked the draft ?

How many weeks has it been? I can't believe the leaker hasn't been ID'd

No one is above the law..hunt them down, find them, arrest them, try them in a court of law…this is the way…

A big joke. Just like that Court is. INVESTIGATE CLARENCE THOMAS.

Try finding out how the ex-defeated President could plan an insurrection and still be walking around as a free “man.”

you gonna blame uvalde on the person who leaked it?

Supreme Court wanted an established fact, but they lost, who is benefited?key word is midterm.

So ridiculous that they are concentrating on this while their crooked Justices and families commit crimes and ignore all the ones committed by an administration that committed a coup.

Make all justices and their wives take polygraphs test first

There wasn’t any law that was violated. Making up a law after the fact does not make it a crime.

I certainly hope they will ask the same from each of the Supreme Court Judges.

If they feel violated wait until they hear what they are trying to do to women…

The Handmaid's Tale. Soon no longer fiction.

Their time would be better spent investigating C Thomas.

This is literally an episode of Scandal 🙄 someone call Shonda so she can advise 😩😭

it wasn't me

They have nothing better to do? What about transparency in government? It’s about time the people of the US know what this court is doing

That’s so typical.

Maybe worry about woman's rights to make their own decisions instead of caring how the world found out what asses you are to consider reversing Roe v Wade

Run on sentence. Journalists 😏

Too bad the highly partisan SCOTUS cares more about their own potentially dirty secrets than protecting the rights of Americans.

Check Ginni Thomas' records.

If that person is found, they will be a national hero despite the penalties they will receive from 'those above'

They need to escalate the fact that one of the justices is corrupted and its public knowledge.

Are they checking the phone records of the justices and their spouses?

Exactly what are they worried about? The top secret techniques of American justice being leaked to the Chinese? Weren’t they going to tell everyone anyway? Were they ever interested in public opinion? What’s the use of secrecy to the Supreme Court?

This is more than just a leak and it's not about women's rights it's about the fundamental structure of all our rights

Who cares we already know they will overturn Roe vs Wade.

They should pay more attention to the law.

The leaker

Am suggesting that 'Membership' to the Supreme Court' by Judges should no longer be a prerogative privilege of the President of the USA. Acceptance of Judges to the Supreme Chamber by 'Democratic' election & Test exams by a Committee of Professionals and Civil Activists.

Wish they cared that much about everything else that is routinely ignored or pushed to the back. It's pretty ridiculous watching what these 'grown adults' end up deciding is important and what's not.

Talk to Ginni!!!

All this effort into a leak? Don’t we have more pressing matters?

If you’re a Supreme Court Justice anything you do at work should be public record, what you want to make rulings and only advertise the ones that are popular? Don’t be dicks the leak isn’t the problem we SHOULD know what OUR Justices are doing !!!!

I do not believe they will find the person responsible because it was a judge and word of mouth works well!

Can we instead maybe investigate the multiple justices who lied during their confirmation hearings?

Doesn't the first amendment protect political speech? Isn't their gig all about the constitution?

It's my guess that Clarence Thomas' wife was the leaker. Again, it's just my hunch.

What about Thomas recusing himself from any Jan 6 decisions ?

'Sources have told CNN' and everyone assumes that CNN has the 'verified facts' ...not just telling or told without verifying the facts.

SCOTUS, what a bunch of hypocrits. They struck down 30’ buffer zones for protesting around abortion clinics but set up fencing and police to keep protesters much farther from their building. They are more concerned about the leak than taking away women’s rights illegitimate Court

Yea sure, but the FBI is busy doing lap dances for politicians -

.50 says they never find the source

If only they are this vigorous at finding those responsible for Jan 6 insurrection.

While we’re at it, let’s have Justice Thomas sign an affidavit swearing he had no involvement in his wife’s treason.

So, they want the right to turn back the clock 1350, and they’re gonna fire or put in jail somebody who warned the American people of what was about to happen. The Goon Court is a real piece of crap. If they find you, don’t worry. We know you’re a hero.

Should be investigating Clarence and Ginny.

It was justice Thomas, in the cloak room with Ginni.

Imagine caring more about a leaked opinion, than the fact that the wife of a judge assisting an insurrection.

The corrupt get overly terrified over their criminal actions. If they were doing things right, this investigation would not be going on.

'Terrifying Supreme Court Plot Exposed - Radical Leftist Group Plans Mission to Paralyze Them'

Whoever did it is an American hero, so I hope they never find them. The advanced knowledge of this impending action at least gives us a chance at stopping it with grassroots political power.

As they should find out and punish accordingly.

A bunch of MEN on Supreme Court deciding what WOMEN can do with their bodies.. not exactly 21st century thinking 🤨🤨🤨

But none of the justices are under investigation for lying under oath? Weird

Mistrust just fuels the hatred and fears that exist. People aren't willing to compromise. I would think that think it's will get worse. Chaos will become the norm. Not a pessimistic point of view, rather it's reality.

Shut down the killing fields and body part black market 2000Mules FJB

🙄. That's what they are concerned about. I don't applaud rule or law violations, but in this case, I feel like this was something that a person or group felt compelled to do to preserve women's rights, which evidently the court does not seem concerned about at all

Just a partisan shit show these days

Why search for the leak? Y’all still haven’t went after trump for his indiscretion and his acts to create instability in America. Shame! Shame! Shame!

But congress doesn’t have to for 1/6! Do y’all see the gop double standards?

Thomas resign ginny go to jail JAN6PLANNERS insurrection....

I’m sure it will be a big surprise if it turns out to be one of the conservative justices or an ally

We all know it was Clarence Thomas wife

Please help me! My name is Lin donglong, an employee of China telecom fuzhou branch. Company manager huang fei (communist party of China) organized the leadership of the gang of evil forces brutal persecution: surveillance location, insult,abuse, framed to take nude photos of me

Get rid of the outdated Supreme Court, which has failed us over and over. We a handful of out-of-touch people dictating what 300+ million Americans do, against the will of the majority... they've failed over and over and all they care about is operating in secrecy.

The origin of that 'leak' pales in comparison to Larence and Ginny Thomas's involvement in the insurrection. When is that going to be investigated?

Leave the whistle blower alone in these matters. They’ll never do anything like this in the future. You just can’t hurry up and wait till the ruling comes out.

If there are three sources telling you they are looking for one source, sounds like they've got a bigger problem!

That what it is

SOUNDS LIKE THEY GOT ALL POLITICAL JUST LIKE CONGRESS IS...

When the Justices catch the clerk who snitched, will they drag her out to the front steps and burn her as a witch? There's lots of legal precedent for doing so. It's called the Dark Ages.

I wish they cared this much about actual dead kids.

Hope they include Justices family members.

Come on. We all know it was Thomas.

Who’s checking the justices and having them sign affidavits ?

If only they'd put this much effort in the insurrection, rather than who leaked an opinion on something supreme court knows more than 70% ofcthe country dissagrees on them with... This only shows it *is* possible for courts to move fast if its in their own interest.

SCOTUS now surrounded by barbed wire fence. HOW SAD ,it used to be the best 'free space' in the Country. Sheron aka Dove.

You're welcome.

Fuckedup country

Seriously? THAT’S what they care about.

They should work this hard on prosecuting the Jan 6th people and their crimes!!! SMH, it’s ok to overthrow government but not have an abortion.. if only men could get pregnant!!! How fast would that change?

How about the wives of the Justices? To keep a draft from changing from outright overturn to anything resembling doing what the majority of the country wants, that’s an argument conservatives love to spew, ‘bent to the woke mob’ so leaking it early would secure it from changing.

They’re gonna see Clarence Thomas ass pics

What about their First Amendment rights?

more worried about the leak than cancelling this stupidity

Supreme Court is an epic Supreme failure a total political machine to ruin our democracy. Complete Sham now.

They need to release ALL of their secret actions and opinions and make EVERYTHING available to the public. Right after we strip them of their lifelong appointment status and let the people elect them!

The Supreme Court is a crooked cabal. Screw Clarence Thomas’ support for insurrection. Screw citizen privacy. It’s only worried about protecting a smooth path toward tyranny.

It was someone on a guided tour...

Pathetic security for such important documents. There’s more security in place to retrieve a password on Twitter. GinnyDidIt

Amy Coney Barrett leaked it

Good.

Don’t forget Ginni Thomas.
