If Ginni Thomas was the leaker, that means

[rateyes]

Clarence Thomas leaked it first. If that is true, then LOCK HIM UP!

1. There are many things that should happen to him...

Prison is only the beginning for him AND her...dispicable people both.

[onenote]

2. Folks here have argued and cited experts that the leak didn't break any laws

[PoliticAverse]

4. And others have ponted out that a Supreme Court clerk was once indicted for a leak. n/t

17. And the indictment ultimately was dismissed.

A single instance, involving an insider trading scheme (even though that wasn't the basis of the indictment because insider trading wasn't yet addressed in the law), from 90+ years ago, and in which the indictment was dismissed, isn't likely to be the basis of prosecuting Thomas, who had a legitimate reason to have the draft.

9. I posted a Statute yesterday...

If it wasn't someone with legal possession (say, a cleaning lady who found a copy on the xerox machine), they could be prosecuted for theft of Government documents.

3. Why would the SC RWNJs leak this ?

[PoliticAverse]

5. One theory is - to make sure one of the anti-Roe justices didn't back down...

from their initial opinion.

Other theories are:
To make the issue about the leak and distract from the opinion itself.
To make the actual release of the opinion less of a shock when it comes.

7. sounds like things arent going well for the nut caucus.

good.

10. Fundraise off it.

[rateyes]

6. To try and lock them in before weakening the decision.

8. All this speculation. Who knows. Maybe it was an accident. Someone a malware victim or something

[PoliticAverse]

14. Someone left their copy in a cab... n/t

15. I vote, it was Ginni.

Bottle King had a big sale over the weekend

16. Me too, she's vindictive enough and wanted to be sure Kavanaugh didn't get cold feet. n/t

18. I think it was one of the anti-choice justices. If it was Ginni, the real leak was Clarence.

If it was one of the anti-choice justices, the investigation will be mysteriously inconclusive.
