Reuters (Archived): U.S. Supreme Court launches probe into leak of draft abortion opinion.
U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts on Tuesday said the Supreme Court will investigate the leak of a draft decision indicating that a majority of the nine justices are set to overturn the constitutional right to abortion, a breach of the court's trust that he called a "betrayal."
[.]
The leak can be considered a major break from the longstanding tradition of confidentiality and trust surrounding deliberations among the justices.
Amid speculation about the source of the leak, [Chief Justice John] Roberts sought to defend the institution's structure.
Who leaked this? The clerks and/or staffers for Kagan and/or Sotomayor?
Speculation abounds.
This "leak" is an abomination, an unprecedented attack, on what is supposed to be the most non-politicized branch of our government.
