Let me say that I don't think it is a good idea to leak information out of drafts because they are unfinished opinions and thoughts. While an investigation is likely to determine who did it and what their motives are I'm leaning on the side of "Not cool". It was a misuse of inside information and appears designed to cause serious harm to an institution. Just because someone has a personal and political perspective doesn't mean they have the right to cause chaos and/or undermine the trust in their position (It looks on the surface like a bad Karma move).
You can read the article 'Clarence Thomas says abortion leak has changed Supreme Court'
Its sad but I believe this person should be held to account. We see radicalism growing on different fronts (Republicans and Democrats) and perspectives and its difficult getting a handle on it. It wasn't long ago I was also a target of bullies (and in some cases bigots) and that is not always an easy thing to deal with. This leaked draft is a place where the laws may need to be applied once the culprit and saboteur is found.
There are differences between mistakes and actions designed to intentionally cause societal commotion on unfinished pieces of work. Its not an argument for or against abortion. I have my own opinion but it an argument that when you work with people you should be able to trust them. Hype politics is starting to cause problems in many or our institutions and this is something our leadership needs to think about. (...all three sides. There is a third sleeping side there that may emerge at some point in the future based on the need for a new version of critical thinking/rationalism and the ability to sell that to the general population. )
Either way...I lean on the side of not cool! 👎👎👎
