In the wake of a purported draft opinion being published, some Supreme Court watchers are urging the nation’s top court to quickly release the final opinion in the case.
“Given the leak, the court should issue a ruling as soon as possible,” Jeanne Mancini, president of March for Life, said in a statement. “This leak was meant to corrupt the process. It is heartbreaking that some abortion advocates will stoop to any level to intimidate the court no matter what the consequences.”
Ed Whelan, a senior fellow at the Ethics & Public Policy Center, offered a similar view.
Because of the leak, “the court should go ahead and issue the majority opinion as soon as it is final,” he wrote on Twitter. “Dissenters can issue their opinions later.”
