The Supreme Court overturned nearly 50 years of precedent in its decision on Dobbs. There’s no guarantee that that’s the end of the road. Here's why. (via Deadline: Legal Blog)
As it turns out, they weren’t — at least not to the same extent as their clerks and staff, who were made to sign affidavits swearing that they didn’t leakThat fact alone is enough to doom whatever integrity the effort had. Indeed, it was so bumbling that the marshal, Gail Curley, an employee of the court tasked with investigating it, had to issueDuring the course of the investigation, I spoke with each of the Justices, several on multiple occasions.
There’s a lot packed into that short, sad confession. Noticeably absent is the word “interview” in relation to the justices. Contrast that with the marshal’sissued the day before, which practically boasted about locking other employees into statements that would subject them to criminal charges if they lied.
And then there’s the kicker, the affidavit line — that the marshal “did not believe that it was necessary to ask the Justices to sign sworn affidavits.” Honestly, one can see how she would feel uncomfortable doing so. She was sort of set up to fail. But even now, after some have written off the investigation as a joke at best, there’s still a simple but important step that the justices can take to make it less pathetic: sign affidavits denying the leak themselves, regardless of whether they were asked to do so.
There’s no illusion that the justices signing affidavits would fix the court's post-Dobbs trust deficit, where public opinion has been polling at historic lows. The New York Times
