Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas compared the leak of a draft opinion indicating Roe v. Wade will soon be overturned to infidelity.
The conservative justice spoke of a loss of trust in the high court during remarks Friday at an event in Dallas."When you lose that trust, especially in the institution that I'm in, it changes the institution fundamentally. You begin looking over your shoulder," he said, according to USA Today. He also said that, like infidelity,"you can explain it, but you can't undo it.
Protests in favor of and against Roe's reversal have popped up across the United States since a leaked draft opinion, written by Justice Samuel Alito, in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization abortion case from Mississippi was published early last week. “This is a subject I told myself I wasn’t going to talk about today regarding, you know — given all the circumstances,” Alito replied, according to the Washington Post.
The leak prompted Chief Justice John Roberts to order an investigation by the marshal of the court. In a statement, the court confirmed the draft that was leaked is"authentic" but stressed it does"not represent a decision by the Court."
