Leaving aside the intelligence supplied by the leak (court may dump Roe); the discouraging part is the existence of the leak and the leaker. The leaker abandoned loyalty to the court, one of America’s oldest and most revered institutions, to merely serve the interests of the Democrat Party. If an institution like the court cannot secure the loyalty of its personnel, what organization can? Employees who place the interests of the Democrat party ahead of the interests of their employer, be it the court, the armed services, the police, the lower courts, and more the nation is in deep trouble.
Many of the great things America has done over the years, winning wars, abolition, civil rights, huge engineering works, the moon landings, and more, were done by institutions, often against great opposition. The institutions could not have succeeded if their personnel failed to support their institution, but instead had betrayed their institution to the opposition.
As to the issue at stake, overturning Roe vs. Wade, I am in favor. Even though Roe has been the law of the land for 50 years, which ought to make it settled law, but hasn’t, I think it was a poor decision by a handful of lawyers on a matter that properly should have been decided by an elected legislature, either federal or state.
