Ah, I see. It is the leak that is appalling, not the blatant violation of women's reproductive rights.

[big][center]John Roberts calls Supreme Court leak 'absolutely appalling'[/center][/big]

Chief Justice John Roberts said Thursday that the leak of a draft opinion that would strike down Roe v. Wade is "absolutely appalling" and stressed that he hopes "one bad apple" would not change "people's perception" of the nation's highest court and workforce.

In his first public appearance since the leak on Monday, Roberts also said that if "the person" or "people" behind the leak think it will affect the Supreme Court's work they are "foolish."

I can't blame Roberts too much for that. He's an institutionalist, and his institution got hacked in a way that may screw up a lot of other institutions and people that depend on them.

On top of that, I actually think he wrestles with his conscience sometimes, which a lot of pro-life folks don't.

Of course, it's going to affect the way the Court works, but I think he thinks it's his job to deny it.
