That the Supreme Court is unable to identify the individual who leaked the draft opinion is an unfortunate development for the institution and for the country (1/5)
Congress should now follow through on the Supreme Court Marshal's implicit endorsement of legislation to expressly prohibit such leaks, in order to better protect the future operations of our nation’s highest court. (2/5)
As such, I’ll be reintroducing the Leaker Accountability Act imminently. (3/5)
This bill would expressly prohibit Supreme Court leaks moving forward, and hold accountable anyone who aims to harm the institution of the Court for political gain. (4/5)
The 20-page Supreme Court Marshal report makes specific mention of this legislation, saying "Consideration should be given to supporting such legislation."
SCOTUS has concluded its investigation. Now it’s time for Congress to act.(5/5)
