Former Justice Stephen Breyer seems to dismiss the idea that any current Supreme Court justice would leak information about an upcoming decision, expressing his surprise at such a notion. This comes after speculation surrounding a supposed “leak” about the court’s decision in the case Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. The case deals with one of the most restrictive abortion laws in the America and any premature details could have significant political and societal impacts. As a seasoned veteran of the Supreme Court, Breyer’s comments carry significant weight in the matter, and certainly cast doubts on these leak theories. It is important to note that the court has long held a culture of confidentiality; leaks from inside the court are extremely rare.
