Interesting, if longshot theory on the leak.
Chief Justice Roberts, to show the Reich wing the complete breakdown their extreme finding is going to cause. A last ditch effort to talk either Comey-Barret or Kegs away from the cliff.
I could actually see that. I've been poking around and thinking trying to figure out, if this was a strategic leak, who might be hoping for what. My main guess is still Thomas trying to commit a wavering judge, but I could actually see Roberts trying to dissuade one. All depends on what kinds of 'when people find out, what do you think will happen?' arguments have been going on behind closed doors.
Though there is still the idea that it was leaked in order to impact the midterms... or the mundane non-strategic 'clerk thought the press should know'. Heh.. maybe time for a theory poll?
It was coming before the election, anyway.
Unintended consequence department. In the 26 states that will instantly outlaw abortion outright on the ruling becoming official, medical students working toward OB/GYN specialties will pretty much have to go to other states, because even physicians who do not perform the procedure still need a certain amount of training in some way relating to it that eventually will require them to see actual patients, of which there will be none (who can admit it without fear of arrest anyway).
Therefore, the medical schools in those states will lose those students, possibly more for related reasons and since its an odd coincidence that these states are often the ones who will not take the extra Medicaid funds a lot of training opportunities related to that push a few to go to schools in states where science is still legal.
Five years down the road, The People's Republic of the Confederate States have a severe doctor's shortage, particularly OB/GYNs.
