Newsmax Genius Accuses Ketanji Brown Jackson of Leaking the SCOTUS Draft
Newsmax host Grant Stinchfield ludicrously accused incoming Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson of leaking the court’s majority draft opinion overturning Roe v. Wade, confidently declaring Tuesday night that “she would be my first suspect when it comes to the leak.”
There’s just one problem with Stinchfield’s theory: Jackson doesn’t even join the court until after the current term ends this summer.
Ever since Politico reported on the bombshell draft opinion that would reverse the landmark 1973 decision establishing a legal right to abortion, Republicans and right-wing media, rather than engage on the potential ruling at hand, have raged about the “unprecedented” nature of the leak itself. While calling the leak an “insurrection,” conservatives have urged the FBI to hunt down the source and charge them with a crime to be determined later.
