Re: How rare is a Supreme Court breach? Very rare
#2The main topic may be a bit more heated and less aligned with typical discussions on HN, but as a DC resident and security/policy wonk I found the details of the breach of the Supreme Court's veil to be much more fascinating.
Main topic is the leak of the draft opinion overturning Roe v. Wade. https://www.politico.com/news/2022/05/02/supreme-court-abort...

#3This sort of leak, likely from a law clerk given that it was a draft opinion, is not a good development. Nobody has any loyalty to their institutions anymore. Every institutional loyalty has been subjected to team red or team blue.

Don't you think it was for money? A law clerk would be risking their entire career for this, and I can't imagine they would do that just to get the news out early.
I wonder if politico will acknowledge whether or not they paid for the leak.

This is the bigger problem. There is a process and some people seem to think circumventing it is the right response.
The courts will make a decision and then it's up to Congress to draft new laws if it wants.
Undermining the process of the judicial branch is not going to end well at all.

I'd venture it was deemed "worth it" just like the absurd amount of leaks just after Jan 20, 2017. In this case, it's possible that an intentional leak of a draft is aimed to encourage politicians and activists alike to ~~threaten~~encourage various Justices to change their minds before the final decision, ala ACA/Roberts

Wow, that was some reading. I suppose that the conservative judges will be going after Marbury next, just for the humor value. The hell.
I can see why that got leaked.

No one does anything relating to Roe purely for the money. Whatever the reason for this leak, it was (at least in part) motivated by principle.
