Professor Ilya Shapiro, Georgetown Law School:
The leak is inexcusable and threatens the Court’s functioning. The most plausible explanation is that it’s someone on the left engaged in civil disobedience—so yet again it’s those who bemoan the “loss of norms” who break them. Cf. court-packing, attacking legitimacy, etc.

Megyn Kelly, ,noted journalist: The pathetic spineless leak of a draft SCOTUS opinion has the feel of something a sad little woke 20-something-year-old would do. The kind of person who thinks their personal agenda is “more important.” Whoever did it should lose their law license.

Fraser Nelson, noted journalist:: The leaked Supreme Court judgement is about the importance of devolution, not the rights and wrongs of abortion.

blame definitely lies with the clerk who leaked it, no sensible media outlet would have refused this story of a lifetime
This idea that judges should be untouchable is ridiculous especially when you have political appointees like in America. But also here. Judges already in reality serve their political pay masters. It shouldn’t be punishable of court for the little guy to expose them. Sometimes the courts are contemptible .
