[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]

Not cash or direct bribery, but still selling access. These right-wing organizations and events are set up specifically to pay for high-end travel, hotels, meals, and any requested perks for the conservative justices to meet with wealthy corporate and evangelical Republican donors. The justices are the draw that gets donors to pay big bucks to these organizations for access and networking to build confidential inside access to the Justices. At least one Justice has a spouse who has long been paid by groups that seek this insider access and influence. There are many examples of justices going on private hunting, golfing, etc. trips with their “friends” who always turn out to be conservative activists who became their “friends” after they were on the Supreme Court.
