(TheRedAlertNews.com) – In what appears to be organized liberal subversion of the United States Supreme Court, reports indicate that recent leaks regarding the US Supreme Court’s private deliberations on significant cases related to former President Donald Trump may be originating from a senior member of the minority.
This is according to insights shared by former clerks and long-standing court observers with The Daily Caller.
A report from The New York Times on Sunday, which cited “details from the justices’ private memos, documentation of the proceedings, and interviews with court insiders, both conservative and liberal,” provided a glimpse into how the justices are navigating decision-making on several critical cases, including Trump v. United States.
This particular case established that former presidents are protected from prosecution for actions taken while in office.
The report primarily scrutinizes Chief Justice John Roberts and his attempts to achieve consensus on contentious cases.
“This is another disturbing leak from the Court, and Congress should look into it because clearly a member of the minority is conspiring with the Left to destroy the Court,” JCN President Carrie Severino told The Caller.
According to Supreme Court protocol, justices discuss and vote on cases in a private conference following oral arguments.
This conference is closed to all staff, including law clerks, ensuring that only justices are present.
A memo dated Feb. 22 from Roberts to his peers, which the NYT obtained, criticized a lower court for avoiding the “most difficult questions” in Trump’s presidential immunity case.
Roberts advocated for addressing the case. While some conservative justices preferred to defer the case to the next term, Roberts aligned with the liberal justices in wanting to tackle it immediately, as per the NYT’s report.
In another case, Fischer v. United States, Roberts assumed the responsibility of writing the opinion—an assignment initially given to Justice Samuel Alito.
The court concluded that the DOJ had overly broadened an obstruction statute used to indict numerous January 6 defendants.
In the case of Trump v. Anderson, which dealt with Colorado’s decision to exclude Trump from the ballot, Roberts favored a unanimous, unsigned opinion.
Ultimately, he agreed with conservative justices who argued that only Congress could enforce the “insurrectionist ban” in Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.
The liberal justices and Justice Amy Coney Barrett expressed their disagreement through a concurrence, criticizing the majority for overreaching, the NYT detailed.
Josh Blackman, a professor at South Texas College of Law Houston, opined in Reason that the scope of these leaks, involving numerous insiders, was far more extensive than the 2022 Dobbs leak, where an early draft by Alito to overturn Roe v. Wade was disclosed.
Blackman suggested that the measures Chief Justice Roberts presumably implemented post-Dobbs to secure court information were ineffective.
He speculated that Justice Elena Kagan’s noticeable absence from these reports might indicate her or her allies’ involvement in the leaks, considering her recent public criticisms and actions that seem to destabilize her colleagues’ standing.
