It seems they are determined to find out who leaked (in reality, whistle blew) the RvW opinion.

(6 posts)I think the concern regarding the leak is its apparent purpose is to shame/vilify the justices and attempt to manipulate their vote on any given case. The repercussions are severe, no matter whose side of a particular case you find yourself.
The sanctity of the Court is (was) always highly esteemed. This has been lost. The leaker(s) should be found and prosecuted.

(95,244 posts)These shit-heels are not judges, they are frauds placed on the court to legislate an agenda that four-fifths of the population opposes.
Any pressure, I repeat any pressure brought to bear on these christo-fascists is legitimate and proper.

(6 posts)You are saying that ALL of the current justices are frauds?
Please provide factual support for your 4/5 agenda opposition. Not trying to be confrontational, I want to review the facts of your argument and not emotion.

(35,040 posts)"Sanctity" sounds more like a social construct and kind of arbitrary to me.
How was this achieved? Has this been maintained until the leak?

(82,849 posts)And we just spent four years watching a horrible president smash precedent and break norms because there were no law against it (mostly because nobody thought the president would ever be such a poltroon). Also, that administration did indeed break laws with impunity, knowing that the Department of Justice wouldn't prosecute them, but instead act as the president's personal law firm.
I don't remember anyone on the right wing uttering a peep about any of that. They're "outraged" now, are they? Boo fuckin' hoo.

(58,605 posts)I remember way back when, after the Iran-Contra scandal. They were more angry aboutt Ollie North for "betraying" his loyalty to Reagan than they were about the way Reagan broke the law to support RW terrorists in Central America that killed a convent of nuns.
The authoritarian roots run deep. One facet of that is valuing "personal loyalty" to the leader more than adhering to their actual oaths to the Constitution.
