wo years since the leak of the Supreme Court's landmark abortion decision, there are no leads as to who precipitated the historic
an incident that two years ago today threatened the very core of the institution he once represented.
So far, the high court has only agreed to hear eight cases for the fall 2024-25 term, though they will likely accept 60 to 70 total before their list for the next term is full. This time last year, the justices had only confirmed eight cases to be weighed in the current term as well. Additionally, the court last year had only released five opinions by April 28, while the court this year has already decided 18 cases by the same date.
Nearly two months before that, the Supreme Court on May 5 had erected metal barricades around the building in response to continued protests and threats against Republican-appointed members of the court. The murder attempt by Roske prompted the U.S. Marshals Service to send out officers to defend the private homes of several Republican-appointed justices. It wasn’t until an annual dinner at the American Law Institute last May that Roberts admitted the “hardest decision in 18 years” was the decision to place the metal barricades around the court.
Supreme Court Justices Amy Coney Barrett, left, and Sonia Sotomayor arrive for a panel discussion at the winter meeting of the National Governors Association, Friday, Feb. 23, 2024, in Washington. What remains to be seen is whether the public will have a similar outcry once the justices issue decisions in two separate abortion-related cases this term or in forthcoming consequential decisions in cases involving the former president. A Marquette Law School poll from February found overall approval of the high court floating at around 40%, while 60% of respondents disapproved.
