The Dems Dirty Politics

 Michael Goodwin:

Political surprises generally come in October. This one came in May, in the middle of the night, no less.

The shocking leak of the Supreme Court draft decision that overturns the constitutional right to abortion is already achieving its main objective. It is giving Democrats something to run on this fall besides President Biden’s lousy record.

Never mind that the leak was a dirty trick that is probably a crime, with Chief Justice John Roberts calling it a “betrayal” and ordering an investigation. GOP Senate leader Mitch McConnell called it an attack on the court’s independence, saying it is “yet another escalation in the radical left’s ongoing campaign to bully and intimidate federal judges and substitute mob rule for the rule of law.”

The widely respected SCOTUSblog writes that “This leak is the gravest, most unforgivable sin” and will destroy trust among the justices and the staff.

All true — but you’re not likely to see a single Dem denounce the leak or the leaker. Quite the opposite. Desperate times lead to desperate actions and, without batting an eye, they embraced the draft’s contents as an opportunity to rally their dejected supporters around a new flag.

 The Democrats are too busy spreading disinformation about the impact of the potential ruling.  Roe was a poorly reasoned decision by an activist court that never should have been issued  The results of overturning this bad decision is that the states will decide if or how they well regulate abortions.  It will probably result in broader rules about abortion in blue states and more restrive rules in red states.  Ultimately the voters will decide the question and not a few people in black robes.
