Whats interesting here is that nothing illegal was done. It was just rude I guess? Theres no law saying you can't leak draft opinions.
Alito has chosen the scapegoat. >

I am waiting for the accusation and the target to push for discovery.  They will accuse someone who is a lawyer and well educated - a clerk.  Clerks aren't off the street people.  They are college educated lawyers.  If one get accused they aren't going to roll over and give their future to an accusation.
This is going to be a very public battle.  If a scapegoat has been chosen it might be someone who was part of the Alito crew willing to take the hit for Alito or someone higher up.  I don't think they will try to accuse someone else who will fight back if there is thin evidence.
I do know that Alito would have no problem ruining someone's life to protect his own station.
This should be intersting. >

Maybe, or they could be a diehard believer, and voluntarily roll over. Possibly in exchange for some sort of kickback (money, future job opportunities). >

Theres a shitton of money to be made on Fox or on a conservative think tank... They'll roll over. >

I'm sure they will make sure the fall guy is well taken care of. >

It's like the mafia, you take the fall for the boss and he makes sure that your family is taken care of. >

I’d say all of the justices should turn over anything and everything asked of the clerks first.  Especially Thomas >

What I found interesting in this article is an anti-abortion leader was informed of their decision in the Hobby Lobby case in 2014 weeks before it was made public.  
The justices are full of it.  But my bet is a clerk or two will be the fall guys here. >

Yeah, I think that one of the justices or their family member(s) did the leaking, and they are looking to pin it on a lowly law clerk.  This will destroy that law clerks life, too. >

Let’s be honest, this clerk will be kicked out of SCOTUS, and walk right into their new job at the Federalist Society. >

FedSoc is a terrible consolation prize to having your pick of any law firm and coast to partnership where you’ll make $2m/year >

They’ll just write a book and CPAC will buy 10 million copies to make them a “best seller” and hand out at events for the next few years. >

Most people have stopped buying/reading books, so the author would only need a fraction of that 10 million to make the book a NYT best seller.

To make the list, it is estimated that novels sell from 1,000 to 10,000 copies per week
