One of the things that has sustained the Supreme Court amid all the politics outside that might swirl around their decisions is a fundamental agreement as to how they should proceed, upholding norms and the integrity of the Court, even if they often disagree with one another as to what the law says.
As I noted over the weekend, Justice Clarence Thomas made a concerning comment at a conference about where the Court is now, after the leak of the draft opinion.
The silence from the liberal side of the court is almost deafening.
I'd like to think that they are standing on the remarks of Chief Justice John Roberts, who condemned the leak.
The Washington Post conducted an interview with the almost-Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson who has been confirmed yet hasn't taken over yet from Justice Stephen Breyer.
Q: What was your response when you when you saw the draft leak ?A: Everybody who is familiar with the court and the way in which it works was shocked by that.
Q: What do you think about peaceful protests outside of Supreme Court justices' homes?A: I don't have any comment.
