SCOTUS Liberals Caught Slow-Walking Another Ruling To Help Dems

Supreme Court liberals’ penchant for slow-walking major rulings isn’t simply political, it has put in peril the lives of the conservative majority. 

As The Federalist’s Mollie Hemingway uncovered in her New York Times best-selling new book on Justice Samuel Alito, the high court’s three liberals long delayed the release of the Dobbs v. Jackson ruling reversing Roe v. Wade. They refused to deliver their long overdue dissent for months, stone-walling even after their ideological allies at Politico leaked a draft of the majority opinion in early May 2022. 

The unprecedented leak set off a wave of leftist protests and a literal firestorm of pro-abortion-led violence. Six days later — on Mother’s Day — a radical who was eventually arrested thanks to a half-eaten burrito firebombed the Madison headquarters of Wisconsin Family Action, a Christian pro-life, pro-family organization. The attacks on the right would keep coming. 

Protesters lined the streets and sidewalks outside the conservative justices’ homes.

“Alito asked the dissenters to make the completion of their dissents their priority because delay of the decision was a security threat,” Hemingway, The Federalist’s editor-in-chief writes in Alito: The Justice Who Reshaped the Supreme Court and Restored the Constitution. “Abortion supporters had an incentive to kill one or more of the justices in the majority to change the outcome.”
