The leaker needs to be identified and disbarred.  Not sure any actual laws were broken, but this cannot go unpunished.

Unauthorized disclosures are generally illegal, but even for classified info, the sentences are usually pretty light relative to the damage. [/quote]

The court is self governing and doesn't have rules about this. I am sorry, if one justice can participate in a coup against the country and not hasve to recuse themselves from related cases, then I don't GAF about this.

See how shattering norms and rules works?[/quote]

I find it difficult to believe SCOTUS has no rules to protect its deliberative process. [/quote]

I have heard former SCOTUS clerks say they were warned on the first day of the job that leaking opinions would not be tolerated and would end in dismissal and disbarment.  So, I do believe they have rules. 
Add to that the fact that no opinion has ever been leaked before.

This person needs to be identified immediately and dealt with.  This is unacceptable.  [/quote]
So you’re more concerned with the leak than the fact that SCOTUS doing away with right to privacy? Good stuff.[/quote]

Yes, I actually am.  And, they are NOT doing away with the right to privacy if this report is accurate. 
They are not even making abortion illegal.  They are returning the decision to the people.... to be decided by the state officials elected by the people.

A breach such as this is actually an insurrection on the court.  It is appalling and needs to be addressed immediately.  [/quote]

Excellent summary. Exactly correct.[/quote]

Many people are too emotionally charged over the draft opinion to comprehend what it actually means, and to comprehend the damage that was inflicted upon the court by the leak.[/quote]

The Court was already damaged.

It’s partisan and impacts the lives of Americans more than Congress does. [/quote]

So, if the Court had decided (or decides ultimately) to uphold Roe, would you still be saying that it's damaged? Are you only saying this because the Court may issue an opinion with which you disagree?[/quote]

When the Court is wildly out of step with the country, that's a problem.

This ruling is a problem.  The Court is broken.  Sotomayor was right. Roberts was right.[/quote]

The Court is not designed to simply “go with the flow” of popular public opinion.[/quote]

it was put in place (in recent years) to do exactly this - overturn Roe v Wade. We shouldn't be surprised.[/quote]

Yes, this has been the long play.

McConnell blocking nomination. 
Kennedy deal to retire. 
Three judicial nominees blatantly lying to Congress. 
Back channel activism via spouses.

This goes back MUCH further. Read the article linked ^^.[/quote]
