The Supreme Court or any other Court is supposed to be apolitical. A court's function is to be as objective as possible in interpreting the Constitution. Once upon a time, the phrase "I have full faith in the Judiciary" was frequently used because the public did actually feel like that. Those days are sadly over. . .
American Thinker It has been over two weeks since Politico published a draft opinion by Justice Samuel Alito that provides the rationale on why Roe v. Wade (1973), which legalized abortion nationwide, has to be overturned.
The document, which was leaked to Politico by an unnamed "source," launched a thousand protests all over the country.
Law enforcement was compelled to place barricades before the Supreme Court building in Washington, and U.S. Marshals had to provide around-the-clock security at the homes of Supreme Court justices because of relentless intimidation from the "protesters."
That wasn't all. "Protestors" vandalized Catholic churches and pregnancy centers. Hoodlums tossed a Molotov cocktail into the offices of a Wisconsin pro-life group. The rapidly moving news cycle and the pace at which the Democrats mobilized their hooligans could cause people to forget how it all started.
The starting point was the leak.
The word "unprecedented" is frequently used without much consideration in current times, but this leak truly was unprecedented. Supreme Court historians, law professionals, and court observers have expressed shock over the leak, saying they cannot recall any such previous instance.
Chief Justice John Roberts called the leak a "betrayal of the confidences of the Court" and vowed that its work will not be affected in any way. He also said he has directed the marshal of the court to launch an investigation into the source of the leak.
