It was put in the hands of the Court's Marshall, whose job it is to protect the Justices and to assure order in the Supreme Court building. The office of the Marshall is not equipped to conduct difficult investigations. - The matter should have been turned over to the FBI or a special counsel appointed by the Justice Department, as was done with the unauthorized possession of classified material by President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump. - Let us be clear about one thing: the improper disclosure of the Supreme Court draft opinion in this case was at least as serious a breach as the Biden or Trump violations. Neither Biden nor Trump disclosed any classified material or actually endangered the security of the United States. They were dangerous because of the potential improper disclosure, whereas the Supreme Court leak involved an actual disclosure that impacted the High Court in numerous negative ways. - The journalist was not at fault for publishing the draft opinion. It was highly newsworthy.... - The same cannot be said about the Supreme Court employee who violated his or her commitment to confidentiality, by improperly disclosing a document that was supposed to be kept secret until the decision was rendered by the Justices.... [N]oble ends to not justify improper or unethical means, especially if the disclosure might well have threatened innocent lives. - It will not be cost-free to impose restrictions on law clerks' access to draft opinions and their handling of them. Even so, this cost, provoked by the current breach, may be worth incurring in order to protect future disclosures. The failure to discover the leaker of the Supreme Court's draft decision overruling Roe v. Wade is an unsatisfactory resolution to one of the most serious breaches of confidentiality in American history. Let us not underestimate the seriousness of this leak. It apparently encouraged a potential assassin to try to murder Justice Brett Kavanaugh in an effort to change the outcome of the case. The mystery of who leaked this draft decision must be solved.

(Photo by Drew Angerer/Getty Images) Following the Supreme Court's released findings of the investigation into who leaked the draft decision overruling Roe v. Wade, the matter seems to be closed. There has been no public disclosure of any further efforts to identify the malefactor. This is an unsatisfactory resolution to one of the most serious breaches of confidentiality in American history. Let us not underestimate the seriousness of this leak. It apparently encouraged a potential assassin to try to murder Justice Brett Kavanaugh in an effort to change the outcome of the case. It could easily have succeeded in doing so. The failure to discover the leaker will encourage others to engage in actions which they believe are well-intentioned civil disobedience even if it does not involve the disclosure of governmental wrongdoing. The mystery of who leaked this draft decision must be solved.

Someone is paying tens of millions of shekels to rent buses to transport scores of thousands of people to rallies, buy them flags, print banners and signs, rent stages and sound systems and finance ad campaigns in every newspaper and on billboards across the country." — Israeli journalist Caroline Glick, JNS, February 17, 2023. - The Biden administration, like the Obama administration, is trying to undermine Israeli democracy while preserving the power of its leftist allies to impose their coup.

(Photo by Amir Levy/Getty Images) Even while Israeli children were being murdered by terrorists, the only thing the media wanted to talk about were the leftist protests against the new Israeli government's democratic judicial reforms. And the Biden administration has joined this campaign. Israel's new conservative government under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has finally initiated the long overdue process of restoring democratic checks and balances by limiting the unlimited power of Israel's Supreme Court. And the left has threatened everything up to civil war to protect its illegitimate power, while its angry protests have been spun as grassroots opposition. What none of the news reports, editorials, public letters by prominent figures or statements by officials have revealed is that the Biden administration is funding the group behind the protests.
