Last Monday, someone leaked a draft opinion showing that the U.S Supreme Court may overturn the constitutional right to abortion. The leak brought out abortion-rights supporters who are rallying outside the courthouse and at various locations around the United States, including the homes of several justices.
The leak also caused an internal
crisis at the Supreme Court. Chief Justice John Roberts ordered an
investigation into the leaker and assigned the investigation to the Supreme
Court police force that is answerable only to the Chief Justice.
Justice Samuel Alito authored the draft
decision and cancelled a speaking engagement for security purposes. Justice
Clarence Thomas also had a speaking engagement scheduled for last week. Unlike
Justice Alito, Justice Thomas kept his engagement on Friday to speak at a
judicial conference in Atlanta. Reuters reported that he made a few passing
references to the protests over the leaked draft opinion.
Thomas said that as a society, “we
are becoming addicted to wanting particular outcomes, not living with the
outcomes we don’t like.” He continued, “We can’t be an institution that can be
bullied into giving you just the outcomes you want. The events form earlier
this week are a symptom of that.”
The Far Left is a bunch of radicals who attempt to force their politics on all Americans. Whenever something does not go their way, they resort to mob rule to intimate those who do not agree with them. (An example is the riots that took place in Washington, D.C. upon the election of Donald Trump.) The radicals may continue with their rallies in an attempt to persuade justices to change their votes before the decision is finalized. If the final decision overturns Roe and Casey, their rallies may turn into riots. They are, in the words of Justice Thomas, only bullies trying to get their way.
