What you saw tonight, and Politco is confident their source and the information (the draft decision can be read on the GO-Media Jezebel site in this article) are high-level valid, is unprecedented in the history of the United States Supreme Court.
And, yes, this conspiracy-theorist will actually agree with the Republicans on one very prescient point they're already making: Some personally-dissenting jurist working with one of the Justices of the Court leaks this to start the protests and violence now.
(I've heard one claim that this might actually be a concurring jurist, forcing the 5 votes to lock in, but I'm skeptical because of the current makeup of the Court.
ON EDIT: One enemy on ZeroHedge actually makes a very good
supposition: With Justice Breyer retiring, what if he were to believe this
decision so repugnant that HE decides to blow up the Court's protocols
on the way out and tell everyone else to go to Hell?)
Yes, there ARE already barricades at the SCOTUS building -- they expect trouble and fast!
This is a virulent breach of conduct by whomever did it at the Court. This was done for a REASON.
And I think that reason was that the shit starts NOW.Watch your backs, both sides.
EDIT TO ADD 5/3 4:45 PM PDT: There appears to be one precedent. Ironically, it's Roe itself, leaked within about a month of it's January 22, 1973 release.
