    Effects of SCOTUS leak

    J. Thomas thinks it is very bad and could herald the end of many institutions in the US. He seems to think a liberal clerk who just can't allow the fact that so many new conservatives on the bench stand.

    Effects of SCOTUS leak

    • Justice Clarence Thomas told conference for black conservatives that the leak of the Roe v Wade draft opinion was 'tremendously bad'
    • The conservative judge said that despite being at odds politically with the late Ruth Bader Ginsberg: 'She was actually an easy colleague to deal with'
    • Thomas also told the audience that conservatives wouldn't show up to protest at justice's homes
    • Thomas went on to say that he always felt that leaking of opinions was 'verboten'
    • Protests are expected across the country on Saturday, including a rally in DC
    Justice Clarence Thomas on Friday compared the leak of fellow Justice's Samuel Alito's draft opinion, which would overturn abortion protections under Roe v Wade, to 'infidelity.'

    Thomas, 73, said at a conference that the leak would weaken the public's trust in the Supreme Court as an institution, calling the unauthorized disclosure of deliberations 'tremendously bad.'


    In his remarks, the conservative justice, who has long called for overturning Roe, hinted that a liberal clerk may have leaked Alito's draft opinion, and lamented that partisan rancor has grown more entrenched on the high court.




    Thomas pondered: 'I wonder how long we're going to have these institutions at the rate we're undermining them, and then I wonder when they're gone or destabilized what we will have as a country and I don't think the prospects are good if we continue to lose them.'


    He continued: 'When you lose that trust, especially in the institution that I'm in, it changes the institution fundamentally. You begin to look over your shoulder. It's like kind of an infidelity – that you can explain it but you can't undo it,' reports Politico.

    That could've been the aim of the leak, to undermine the court.

    It is time to reread the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.


    I was a systems engineer. I see systems collapsing. We are in for hard times all started by stolen elections.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.


    I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.

    I am more concerned with what has happened before and after the leak in terms of intimidation of our justice system and our curious acceptance of it.

    First in the threats to jurors in recent cases, doxing, protest at the homes of various innocent people and now the doxing and picketing of SC Justices over a case. More disturbingly the tribalism allowing people to accept and promote juror/judge intimidation .
    Another step over the line in our national unwillingness to police our own

    It would be interesting to find out who leaked it.

    And, why.

    Notice the lack of outrage or even concern in most of the media. That shows you the attitude of the left these days as long as their causes are advanced. Also the argument that because of popular opinion (according to polling data) SCOTUS should uphold abortion as a Right no matter what interpretation of the Constitution.

    The Court signaled its corruption when Chief Justice Roberts changed words in Obamacare to make it comply with the law.

    This is just one more blatant sign that Leftists will do whatever it takes to ruin any and every part of our government as they "fundamentally change" the USA into a Marxist State.

    Justice Sotomayor's clerk who leaked the RvW ruling has taken our corruption to another level.

    One by one our systems are collapsing and it is no mistake. Leftist Democrats are fundamentally changing us into a Marxist State. It will happen or they will burn everything first and then make it happen.
