On Tuesday, the Supreme Court extended the waiting period for its decision in the case that could overturn federal rights to abortion.
Politico published last month a draft opinion leaked by Politico that suggested the Supreme Court would overturn Roe V. Wade. This 1973 case established federal rights to abortion.
The justices released a handful of decisions Tuesday, but not in the case Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.

The Supreme Court will soon deliver the official ruling on Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the highly anticipated abortion case that could overrule Roe v. Wade.
Politico received a draft of Justice Samuel Alito’s majority opinion in May. It triggered a social media firestorm.
“Roe was egregiously wrong from the start,” Alito writes.
“We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled,”He wrote in the document. “It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people’s elected representatives.”
“We, therefore, hold the Constitution does not confer a right to abortion. Roe and Casey must be overruled, and the authority to regulate abortion must be returned to the people and their elected representatives,”Alito wrote in the document labeled “The”. “Opinion of the Court.”
Soon after Alito’s draft majority opinion leaked, it’s assumed there were at least 5 votes in favor of overturning Roe v Wade, leaving state legislators to weigh their own abortion policies.
Following the leak, a report said that the majority of justices who signed on to Alito’s decision had not changed their minds.
The Washington Post, citing conservative sources within the court, reported that the four justices who agreed with Alito’s opinion — Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett — had thus far refused to change their minds.
It’s not clear if any of those justices changed their view in the ensuing weeks, though most court observers don’t think that was likely to happen.
Officials at the Supreme Court are intensifying their efforts to find the source of the draft opinion leaked by the leaker that would invalidate Roe v. Wade.
One Republican believes he may have an idea for “who”Leaker might also be.
In an interview with Newsmax, Montana GOP Rep. Matt Rosendale said he was certain at least some of the justices know the leaker’s identity, saying he thinks they should come forward if they do.
“We all could probably agree that the justices that were appointed by Democrat presidents know who the leaker was,”He said. “What bothers me, it’s not only the undermining that it did of the institution and the trust factor that these folks have with each other, it’s that now that the trust is broken, it’s very difficult to restore it.”
“There could be more people involved, and those people could go all the way to the top,”He said. “Don’t eliminate the judges because you know people, so there’s no way that would happen. No way. Think about it. Michael Sussmann is on trial right now for Russiagate. That happened six years ago. We’re only getting answers right now. I hope it doesn’t take another six years to get answers to what happened at the Supreme Court.”
However, the investigation has not identified any suspects and the court’s integrity is growing weaker by the day, according to NPR.
According to one source, the outlet was told by a person who knew that “the place sounds like it’s imploding.”
One more: “I don’t know how on earth the court is going to finish up its work this term.”
