Do you think Roe v Wade will get overturned?

It does appear so.
The amazing thing is that most of these protests are in states that will have no changes to their abortion laws.
So, the great re-sort will continue!

Roe v wade is just a symptom of a larger problem.

The part of the 14th amendment that makes certain rights from the bill of rights applicable to state laws has been expanded by the federal courts far beyond its initial intent.

That part of that amendment is the root of most American discord. It’s what allows the federal government to muddle in state affairs just on the pretense that there may be civil rights issues at stake, which allows the federal government far to great an influence into state affairs.

I think this leak will cause a lot of pressure on the court members who might otherwise cave, that is, those who are currently a part of the majority decision penned by Alito. I don't think he will cave, nor will Thomas. But I am not so certain about the rest.

Plus, I think this will get drawn out until after Breyer vacates and Brown replaces him. Not sure what impact that might have, as well.

And if it happens that one of the justices was the source of the leak, then I suppose that justice will be impeached and probably removed, and any decisions that the court is scheduled to reach will be tabled until afterward.

Dems likely won’t impeach a liberal judge. Also you don’t need 9 justices to try a case.
