Has anybody considered the possibility that the Alito draft that was “leaked” might instead be a trial balloon?
Think of what goes along with that. He who floats a trial balloon always blasts the other side for “a treacherous, underhanded, politically motivated leak,” while gathering instant public feedback on what the uproar will be if they take the action they are considering.
And our beloved SCOTUS claims they are never political hacks. But they sure look the part right now.
