The Dobbs Leak

from Case in Point: The Legal Show on the Hottest Legal Cases in Politics and Culture · host The Heritage Foundation

This week saw the biggest leak in Supreme Court history: a leaked opinion. And not just any opinion, but an early draft of a purported majority decision in the Dobbs case, which would, if issued, overrule Roe v. Wade and return abortion policy to the people of each state. Zack and GianCarlo chat about the leak, what it means for the Court, and what ought to happen to the leaker. They also discuss all the other news that was drowned out by the leak including the memorial service for Justice John Paul Stevens and a major First Amendment opinion issued this week. GianCarlo then interviews Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch, and they talk about her career and her legal strategy in Dobbs. Finally, Zack quizzes GianCarlo about Justice Stevens' life and career.Here's a link to Zack and John Malcolm's article about whether the leaker can be criminally prosecuted.Follow us on Twitter @scotus101 and send questions, comments, or ideas for future episodes to [email protected]'t forget to leave a 5-star rating!Stay caffeinated and opinionated with a SCOTUS 101 mug.
