Republicans are just pissed that the leaker killed their weepy "we protected the unborn" moment

It would have been the Saddam Hussein dramatic pause "WE GOT HIM" moment, but with a fetus.

The Tucker Carlson Protecting The Rights Of The Unborn SPECIAL, Thursday on Fox.

This is why Cruz and McConnell are screaming for "justice."

It was gonna be a BIGLY YUGE MEDIA MOMENT for Republicans, and now it's not.

THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS!!!!

but it’s a done deal now.” IMHO that’s why they are squirming. The ruling is getting blasted from so many sides. Add to that it’s not polling well.

Conservatives are a bunch of natural liars and cheaters who lack integrity, so … kinda balances the probability out vs. what we'd naturally presume ... which is that it was a concerned liberal who leaked it.

E.G. IMHO it could just as well been a CON who wanted to tout it.

There is an awful lot of chest pounding and table slamming about the leak.

So, what is the actual wrongdoing here?

Is there any legal requirement for secrecy here? These proceedings aren't classified. The document isn't a state secret.

Is it anything more than precedent and decorum?

I have little doubt that the career of the leaker is over if found but I am not following the many calls for justice to include imprisonment, etc.
