Roberts Will Not Ask FBI to Investigate the Leak

Instead, he'll ask the Marshal of the Supreme Court -- a person/position with very little law enforcement power or experience -- to do it.

This feels like a cover up. A papering-over. He doesn't want to upset his liberal friends with an intrusive investigation into which one of them is guilty but he has to pretend to do something, so this is the something he's pretending to do.

This motherfucker needs to be impeached.

Chief Justice John Roberts on Tuesday directed the marshal of the Supreme Court to launch an investigation into the source of a leaked draft opinion showing that a majority of justices were poised to overturn Roe v. Wade.

"This was a singular and egregious breach of that trust that is an affront to the Court and the community of public servants who work here," Roberts said in a press release that verified the authenticity of the document published Monday evening by Politico.

...

"To the extent this betrayal of the confidences of the Court was intended to undermine the integrity of our operations, it will not succeed," Roberts wrote. "The work of the Court will not be affected in any way."

The Marshal handles security for the court. It also serves papers and disburses some funds.

(a) The Supreme Court may appoint a marshal, who shall be subject to removal by the Court, and may fix his compensation.

(b) The marshal may, with the approval of the Chief Justice of the United States, appoint and fix the compensation of necessary assistants and other employees to attend the Court, and necessary custodial employees.

(c) The marshal shall:

(1) Attend the Court at its sessions;
(2) Serve and execute all process and orders issued by the Court or a member thereof;
(3) Take charge of all property of the United States used by the Court or its members;
(4) Disburse funds appropriated for work upon the Supreme Court building and grounds under the jurisdiction of the Architect of the Capitol upon certified vouchers submitted by the Architect;
(5) Disburse funds appropriated for the purchase of books, pamphlets, periodicals and other publications, and for their repair, binding, and rebinding, upon vouchers certified by the librarian of the Court;
(6) Pay the salaries of the Chief Justice, associate justices, and all officers and employees of the Court and disburse other funds appropriated for disbursement, under the direction of the Chief Justice;
(7) Pay the expenses of printing briefs and travel expenses of attorneys in behalf of persons whose motions to appear in forma pauperis in the Supreme Court have been approved and when counsel have been appointed by the Supreme Court, upon vouchers certified by the clerk of the Court;
( Oversee the Supreme Court Police.

I don't see "investigate crimes" on there. I don't see "subpoena witnesses' phone and email records" on there.

So if you're scratching your head trying to remember what big crimes the Marshal of the Supreme Court cracked, the answer is none. None big crimes.

Which is as Roberts wants it.

Note Well: I do not have to believe in the FBI to also know that Roberts believes in the FBI, nor to know that Roberts avoided calling the FBI for entirely different reasons than commenters would have for avoiding calling the FBI.

Those of you saying "Well the FBI is corrupt anyway" -- yeah, Roberts obviously disagrees. He is not avoiding the FBI for that reason. He is avoiding the FBI so that he can avoid an investigation entirely.

What the Marshal of the Supreme Court does, primarily, is provide security, and right now, the leaker has put five people on the list for would-be assassins. Not a single person in the Marshal's staff should be doing anything except providing security and investigating threats to the lives of the five conservative justices.

And yes of course, the Secret Service should be bringing in all sorts of resources and bodies too.

So yes, the FBI should be handling the leak investigation.

...

But meanwhile -- Schumer's looking to get the FBI to investigate the conservative justices for perjury, it seems.


Julie Kelly

@julie_kelly2

Schumer just accused Alito, Kavanaugh, Barrett of perjury. This will be a vicious campaign of intimidation designed to bully at least one into flipping. My guess is Dems will re-energize Kav smear campaign, possibly file impeachment articles against all 3

And it's not just Schumer.

This sourc*nt wants in, too.

My theory is that the White House leaked to Politico. Sotomayor, or her clerk, gave them the draft document as a warning of what was coming so that the Dems would have time to prepare a response. The White House then decided to try and either bully a justice into switching sides, or to whip up anger and distract from the admin's failures. Roberts knows this, but also knows that it's not the first time that an administration has been given advance notice of a ruling and doesn't want that to become common knowledge.

35 Last night when all the commentary was that the leaker would be disbarred, throw out of SCOTUS, and get a gig on MSNBC, I doubted it. I was tempted to put out my own opinion/prediction that not only would the leaker not be punished, but will probably be on the court one day. If not SCOTUS, perhaps a federal judge position, or a state supreme court.

Don't ever underestimate how far the ruling class goes to protect its own.

Further prediction: RvW won't be overturned. I hope I'm wrong.

I mean, that's a ludicrous lie, but even if it were true, it doesn't matter.

A fetus inevitably and consistently becomes a born baby, unless something intervenes to destroy the process like a planned parenthood scumbag vacuuming it out of the body. That means it is a human, even if it doesn't look like one and isn't developed enough to survive outside mommy.

One that first cell forms, its a human being.

I think there is a pretty strong chance it was one of our intel agencies which leaked it. They have shown a propensity for this sort of thing, and Biden has used them in the past to go after political opposition and to spy on other branches of government.

Most likely is a leftist law clerk. But I would put the intel agencies at number 2 on the suspect list, and Roberts' office as number 3.

The other thing Schumer going after the conservative justices does is head off any move to impeach whichever leftwing justice caused, or allowed this to happen. This sort of breach is exactly the sort of thing you would impeach a judge for --- not the substance of their rulings. Now any move by the right will be seen as tit for tat because they were too slow to move.

But the influence on the other five is still very real. The effect of riots and threats is real. Whether it is enough to change a vote? idk, but this action exerts Influence (an influence operation is a BFD).

And Roberts is basically standing down (as Ace shows), claiming it will have no effect. That is a lie ... such pressure always has an effect, and the five already have proven their ability to "go wobbly".

You'd think even an imbecile like Schumer could understand that.

Hell, most people who know what stare decisis is think it's a good idea. We need some stability in the law. But that doesn't mean that nothing can ever change.

Does the left want Plessy v. Ferguson to still be the law? Or Bowers v. Hardwick? Were Brown v. Board of Education or Lawrence v. Texas "illegitimate" rulings because they overruled existing Supreme Court precedents that had been on the books for years? Do we go back to racial segregation being legal and homosexual acts being illegal because we love stare decisis too much to allow change?

169 As much as I agree with you, I don't think it makes a difference who investigates. If the FBI did it, they'd totally cover it up and magically be unable to find the leaker if they were on the left side of the aisle. And since this was undoubtedly a left-wing leak, I think the chance that we ever know who leaked it is pretty small.

This feels like a cover up. A papering-over.

Posted by: Clyde Shelton at May 03, 2022 12:31 PM (Do5/p)

206 There is an institutional situation that most legal scholars ignore.

At times, the court tires of endless decisions on trivial matters involving a precedent is has been largely undermined by subsequent decisions. From Roth in the late 1950's to the Miller v. California decision in 1973, the Court wrestled with how to define obscenity. Eventually, the court decided that community standards should determine what is obscene. Even later decision after the internet came about, the Court simply extended the community standards to the internet instead of allowing local jurisidictions to effectively enforce local standards on the world wide internet.

Plessy itself was chipped to pieces prior to Brown v. Board of Education, the only question was when would it fall. Even Brown itself distinguishes the Plessy decision from Brown not by explicit overruling but by stating that 'separate but equal has no place in education.' Combined with previous cases, effectively, the later cases dealt with remaining segregation in public rather than education.

252 OK the current Marshal of the Supreme Court is Gail Curley. She's a JAG Colonel, so she has at least some experience in investigation and law enforcement.

Col. Curley comes the Court from the U.S. Army where she was the chief of the National Security Law Division in the Office of The Judge Advocate General. She supervised a team of judge advocates, led the strategic engagements program for the the Judge Advocate General’s Corps, and provided legal advice and support on national security law to senior Army leadership. From 2016 to 2019, Col. Curley was the staff judge advocate for Headquarters, U.S. Army Europe in Wiesbaden, Germany, where she served as the senior U.S. Army attorney for an area consisting of 50 nations and supervised over 300 legal professionals. She has held a wide variety of leadership and legal positions over her military career at many locations including Germany, Afghanistan, and the continental United States.

Those of you saying "Well the FBI is corrupt anyway" -- yeah, Roberts obviously disagrees. He is not avoiding the FBI for that reason. He is avoiding the FBI so that he can avoid an investigation entirely.

What the Marshal of the Supreme Court does, primarily, is provide security, and right now, the leaker has put five people on the list for would-be assassins. Not a single person in the Marshal's staff should be doing anything except providing security and investigating threats to the lives of the five conservative justices.

And yes of course, the Secret Service should be bringing in all sorts of resources and bodies too.

So yes, the FBI should be handling the leak investigation.

Or he doesn't even want the appearance of an external investigation. Any FBI investigation of this would find no wrongdoing or find, somehow, that there is no evidence of who might have done it. It would be handled perfectly fine by the FBI and everyone would walk away happy because they will have done their job of engaging in a cover-up.

But I'll bet Roberts doesn't want interlopers coming into his domain. The FBI, even though they would find the right answer, are outsiders. The Court is *his* realm. No outsiders. The outcome is all known in advance anyway and he probably also knows who did this (it couldn't have been very many people) and has no interest in punishment. Given that the outcome is the same regardless, maintain control and dominance of his institution and keep the carpet-baggers out.

328 Korematsu was explicitly repudiated by the SCOTUS in the 2018 case called Trump v. Hawaii (the "travel ban" case). SCOTUS said Korematsu was wrong from the day it was decided.

Posted by: TrivialPursuer
---------------------------
Repudiation in words is not the same as overturning a prior decision. It gets complicated but unless the fact pattern and precedents used in Korematsu matched Trump v. Hawaii, it is Scotus grandstanding with obiter dicta (reasoning beyond the facts and law involved in the case and is not binding). Essentially, Korematsu's majority did not base its decision formally on race but wartime necessity of invasion of the West Coast. The dissenters claimed detention of Japanese Americans was about race.

Race allegations were specifically addressed in Trump v. Hawaii along with national origins. The issue is that the statutory law changed between Korematsu and Trump v Hawaii--e.g. the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and various provisions in immigration law diminishing administrative discretion on barring immigrants/visitors based on race, ethnicity, etc.

Yeah, he's just doing the FBI a favor, keeping it off their plate, so they don't have to be the ones saying, "oh well, the leaker had an abundance of candor," or whatever.

Plus, this keeps it in the Court's house. They can probably make the investigation die a much quicker death if it's all in the family.

On the other hand, if you were Roberts, would you trust the FBI (an arm of the executive branch) to start going through your emails and files? That seems like it would only lead to more malicious leaks and political pressure, especially given the behavior of the DOJ over the past couple of decades.

Posted by: Warai-otoko
----------------------
Simplification Warai. First, after oral arguments in a case, the justices on Fridays have a conference where only justices are present. Tradition has the chief justice voting first (Burger changed the rule for him but Rehnquist changed it back--dunno about Roberts) to decide which side wins and which side loses. Then by order of seniority, each justice then votes with the most junior normally voting last. Then opinions to write up the legal reasoning of who wins and who loses are assigned--The Chief Justice, if in the majority gets to assign the opinion writer, if in the dissent, then the most senior justice in the majority assigns it. Dissent is more idiosyncratic and ultimately unimportant except for signalling.

But, until the final decision is released publicly via Supreme Court reports, the majority can become a minority (apparently the Obamacare case was an example). All that counts is that five or more justices sign onto the final opinion.

If they had been, it wouldn't have been leaked like this. It would have been distributed to insiders to spin up the enthusiastic reporting to hit within minutes of the decision being publishes a la Obergfell.

That it is being leaked this way serves two purposes (assuming one implication). Assuming the implication is correct that they couldn't flip anyone, they want to pressure and terrorize someone out of the majority. Regardless of if that succeeds or fails, it allows them to run full-court press early on this topic and keep it running (if they can) to make the election about "women's health care" instead of about the disastrous shit show this administration is. They will probably try to hold the Dem voters hostage by promising to legalize abortion federally, but they can't do it without stronger congressional majorities so GO VOTE.

406 Wickard vs Filburn, which set the legal stage for the Congress regulating everything in the US, via the 'interstate commerce' clause.

Posted by: Romeo13
-------------------------------------
To some extent, Randy Barnett succeeded in the Obamacare case that the fed's commerce power does not extend to making you buy something (should have been applied to vaxx but Jacobson was precedent there). He got a 7-2 majority for that position.

But yes, Wickard is the perfect example of a bad wartime decision that should be thrown out with the trash and it distorts the precedent that it cites--NLRB v. Jones and Laughlin Steel which limited federal power over commerce to substantial linkage of the regulation to effects on the national economy. Wickard is an example where the slippery slope destroyed that distinction of NLRB entirely.

410 In 2020, information surfaced in IRS Forms 990 filed by the non-profit Resources Legacy Fund (“RLF” suggesting that the ‘climate nuisance’ and ‘consumer fraud’ lawsuits filed by Sher Edling, LLP on behalf of progressive attorneys general officials and local governments, were being privately financed to the tune of millions of dollars.

Nonetheless, emails just obtained by Government Accountability & Oversight in open records litigation in California after a two-year legal battle at least confirm that private parties were in fact “serious supporters” underwriting the litigation (and presumably still are). These include Leonardo DiCaprio who, a review of his foundation’s IRS filings suggest, routed his group’s funding through at least one other organization.

Warai, that is where concurrences come it. A justice agreeing with who wins or who loses the case can disagree with the majority opinion's reasoning in part or in full. Sometimes that results in a plurality decision where a majority of justices agree on who wins and who loses but no majority exists on the legal reasoning why one side wins.

Because they are all knowing. About 10 years ago we had a black woman run for Sheriff under the GOP banner. White women were all over Fecesbook asking "how can a woman of color be a Republican!!?" Simple, the Democrat Sheriff she ran against was sexually harassing almost every female deputy/staffer and was just a slimeball in general. She won luckily and served for 2 terms.

I agree that the majority's comments about the Korematsu case in Trump v. Hawaii were dicta, as they were not essential to the holding. That's why I said the court had repudiated the case (in saying that it had been wrongly decided), not "overturned" or "reversed" it.

524 Notice leftard "logic" regarding states rights over legalization of the dangerous and harmful drug marijuana, but somehow allowing the states the right to decide whether or not fetal humans can be slaughtered within the state cannot be allowed.

It's almost like the leftards KNOW the majority of Americans do not approve of abortion, isn't it? Moreover, that TAXPAYERS don't want to pay for the abortions of those who equate murder of the preborn as 'health care'.

All SCOTUS ruling would do is allow each individual state to pass laws as to allowing or prohibiting the killing of humans in the fetal stage of the human life cycle. 26 states would likely prohibit/limit abortion. The others could allow it. Why are leftards so angry about 'choice'?

Posted by: Pete at May 03, 2022 02:03 PM (9uoO8)

525 Kinda makes you wonder about the motivation of people who are so rabidly into killing humans in the fetal part of the human life cycle that they think it OK for SCOTUS to make up garbage about 'emanations and penumbras' to legislate the murder of the unborn (when the bloodthirsty couldn't get an actual LAW passed)...but somehow a threat to the very existence of the US if women have any limits to the desire to murder their preborn infants.

534 The timing of this is too suspicious given that the draft was written months ago. This was a democrat party operation. One of their shifty dirty tricks companies like Perkins Coie had some operatives get to know some clerks, found one with a weak spot, maybe used a honeytrap or some drugs, and made an offer of plenty of money plus keeping the clerk's social peccadilloes under wraps. This smells like an op.

535 Roberts leaked the decision. I think he's incredibly black-mailable, what with his trips to Epstein's Pedo Island and adoption history. As Chief Justice he has done many awful things, like rewriting Obamacare and refusing to hear election challenges bc of "mobs". He's the one.

Posted by: RobertsPedoPopUpPictureBook at May 03, 2022 02:51 PM (HEQed)

536 Is there any crime to investigate?

My theory is that the White House leaked to Politico. Sotomayor, or her clerk, gave them the draft document as a warning of what was coming so that the Dems would have time to prepare a response. The White House then decided to try and either bully a justice into switching sides, or to whip up anger and distract from the admin's failures. Roberts knows this, but also knows that it's not the first time that an administration has been given advance notice of a ruling and doesn't want that to become common knowledge.
