[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just doing my daily check in to see if any actual evidence has emerged as to who the leaker is.  No?  Didn't think so.  I'll check back tomorrow![/quote]

Ask the anti-abortion lobby groups. They know who leaks to them.

And who they bribe for the leaks. [/quote]

Yesterday's The Daily was about this - the guy who is the source for the NY Times story presented a compelling case that there wasn't any bribery or anything. More like wealthy, anti-abortion people were deployed to a lot of social occasions where the justices would be to cultivate friendships - and it worked. And out of those friendships came these disclosures about decisions that were coming. It was a very credible account.

Maybe there's bribery - but there seem like easier ways for justices to make $. Clerks, too.[/quote]

Like another PP above, I listened to the NYT The Daily podcast in which the author of the NYT article was interviewed. You are right. There was no hint of bribery--just an attempt to influence and gather information by cultivating friendships over years. According to the main source, these friendships were genuine and included wives, so it wasn't a scam like another PP said, but rather a masterful attempt to play the long game to overturn RvW by placing certain couples in the orbit of SC justices. Another takeaway was that because the SC court is a self-policing institution (which rarely polices itself), it is vulnerable to being influenced (the article's author used the word "permeable"). Makes one wonder which other justices shared information with friends....[/quote]

I am PP - and it reminded me of The Americans, actually, the way they described cultivating and deploying these friendships.[/quote]
