The Repugs Have Reacted To The SCOTUS Leak-Likened It To The Insurrection.....

and said the person who is responsible and leaked this draft "should be prosecuted and should go to jail for a very long time."

They said "This is the most egregious breach of trust at the Supreme Court that has ever happened".

Top GOP leaders on the Hill also piled on. In a statement, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell described the leak as “lawless action”.

They called for an immediate investigation and said the Justice Department “must pursue criminal charges if applicable.”

What happens if it is found out that the leaker was in fact a Conservative Supreme Court Judge? Will they still feel the same?

I suspect that the usage of the word will become common.

The investigation will report to Roberts, and I would expect him to be a "good soldier" and stick to the party line.

They will begin praising it as an act of political genius. Or, they will down play the matter and try to figure some way of blaming Democrats. The probe will be attacked as partisan, trying to make Republicans look bad.
