Isn't it something that investigators never caught who leaked the majority draft decision in Dobbs to POLITICO in 2022? Only 82 staffers could have seen the draft. No one confessed, and in 2023, the Supreme Court released a public report concluding that investigators could not identify the leaker, and the investigation was dropped.
Now, The New York Times is reporting that it has "obtained" secret memos by Supreme Court justices.
Secret memos by Supreme Court justices, obtained by The New York Times, show how they decided to bypass time-tested procedures and create the modern “shadow docket,” a controversial new way of doing business. https://t.co/xNu6GXxmdl

It’s a real mystery who dislikes the shadow docket and would leak this information. I hope we can find out one day.

She wasn’t there then. She wouldn’t have access to this stuff.

Sotomayor. Jackson wasn’t there at the time

Another leftist presumably employed in the chambers of the Supreme Court has leaked confidential court items to the media to help the left.

Fire everyone below Justice who had access. Start new. https://t.co/CaSQBSRYpw
Yes. I think this time - and last time - was Sotomayor.

and this is why they should have found and prosected the Dobbs leaker
— LB (@beyondreasdoubt) April 18, 2026
As soon as an institution is no longer serving the interests of leftists, the remaining leftists do everything they can to destroy its credibility and ruin the institution. This leak only serves the left so of course we know where it came from. A tale as old as time.

Where in the Constitution are these “time tested procedures” and where does it say they’re illegal?
— FugitiveMama (@fugitivemama) April 18, 2026
So this shows a consensus driven process and decision making. What is the supposed scandal?
— Dark Elation (@realDarkElation) April 18, 2026
“Bypassing time tested procedures” is what Dems have done ever since Trump came down the escalator in 2015. Spare us.

Time-tested procedures like leaking to the MSM?
— Tom Kasperski (@TomKaz) April 18, 2026
Guys, the memo is out!

The new leftist outrage is the "shadow docket" (and not the absurd rulings by left-wing nut job district court judges who think they are the President).
Basically liberals are upset that the Supreme Court is overruling lower court decisions quickly, because their entire plan was to jam up the works with endless lawsuits and appeals.

Sorry, your lawfare has failed once again.
The bigger story is that SCOTUS has a left wing leaker, and you're not interested in revealing who it is.

Shouldn’t someone be under arrest for leaking secret memos?
— TurningPoint (@johnflat) April 18, 2026
The FBI managed to track down people who were inside the Capitol Building on January 6 to their homes in Arizona by using facial recognition, pinging cell signals, and researching ATM transactions, but the Supreme Court couldn't find the Dobbs leaker. And now we have another leaker, or the same person doing it again, because there were no consequences.
