The Supreme Court says it has been unable to identify "by a preponderance of the evidence" who leaked the Dobbs opinion last year.

In that leaked opinion, Samuel Alito cited Matthew Hale, a jurist who believed that dreams counted as evidence and had women executed for witchcraft as part of his legal reasoning.

So Michael Chertoff and the Supreme Court used:
* Formal interviews
* Follow-up interviews
* Looking at electronic data
* Searching of logs
* Collections of laptops and mobile devices
But nobody felt comfortable using spectral evidence to find the leaker? Nobody wanted to use what their dreams told them? Nobody felt right suspecting witchcraft?
Come on Chertoff; if that's what (poor) (minority) women have to deal with now, why not the Supreme Court, right?

Conservativism destroys everything it touches, in this case the judiciary.
