As you’ll see Will Chamberlain has done some pretty good research. As he says, he doesn’t have proof, but it’s speculation that runs a bit deeper than the, admittedly, very interesting Soto clerk story. But first … Is it right for people like Chamberlain to be speculating like this? I think it is—anyone who doesn’t like it has only the leaker—and the leaker’s accomplices—to blame. This was inevitable when the leak happened. Anyone who thinks their name was mentioned unfairly is free to deny it.
I just listened to Mike Cernovich. His argument is that, while Chamberlain did a super job showing the rest of us the type of wacked out ideologues liberal SCOTUS justices hire, these people are too high IQ to allow their misdeeds to be so easily traced. I suppose the response to that is twofold:
1. Very smart people have been known to do very dumb things. This is fact.
2. The number of possible perps is extremely limited: 9 justices, each of whom has four clerks. I think we know it wasn't the cleaning staff. So the perp is drawn from a pretty limited circle of high IQ people. The nature of leaking of this kind leads leakers to rely on people they know and trust, rather then mailing the swag anonymously and counting on it not going astray. Because the journalist needs assurances that the stuff is genuine.
I just don’t see Roberts being man enough to grab this bull by the tail. Sorry, but he hasn’t distinguished himself during his tenure as Chief Justice, just something else to run away from.
Nah. I’ve heard that it’s some guy named Ciaramella and his jelly roll sidekick known as the vend-man. Comes from a guy who also swears that the Totchka-U that hit the Moskva was fired directly from the Lusitania just as it passed through the Gulf of Tonkin. ;-)
Looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck. While "Elizabeth" could or could not be the reprobate here, it does seem that she may be the duck. Despicable.
The Supreme Court losing its (absurd, phony) reputation as an apolitical institution is a feature, not a bug. The left destroyed the courts long ago and the right has been playing a sucker's game in propping up the notion of them being impartial arbiters. The Supreme Court has been reduced to just another political tool. It's long past time that the right began using SCOTUS to unabashedly move the ball in the other direction. Congress and the Executive were never supposed to have been subordinate to SCOTUS, essentially requiring their imprimatur for every law and action. Marbury was the real problem and it will not be a bad thing if the court loses its supremacy.
Whether this woman is the leaker or not,it’s rather telling who these Leftist judges have working for them! Do we have any idea of when the Supreme Court will officially come out with their ruling in this case? The usual suspects are already calling for violence!
New commenter here... one who has been following this excellent SubStack for a while. Also, I am based in South Africa, so may not fully grasp US workings. My question about this leak is... I grasp the issues of concern about the actual leak, but why am I not seeing any opprobrium directed at the journalist, and The Politico for going ahead and publishing the article?

What is wrong with all these she devil Liliths anyway? Isaiah Chapters 32-34 come to mind.
@mark This may have been posted, but if not, Glenn Greenwald has a fantastic write up on the Left's reaction to this leak.

Riddle me this. What do Kevin Clinesmith, Eric Ciaramella, Jake Sullivan and Elizabeth Deutsch have in common?

Regarding Roberts losing control: couldn't happen to a more worthy chief.
