“I personally have a pretty good idea who is responsible, but that’s different from the level of proof that is needed to name somebody,” he says. He’s certain about the motive: “It was a part of an effort to prevent the Dobbs draft ... from becoming the decision of the court. And that’s how it was used for those six weeks by people on the outside — as part of the campaign to try to intimidate the court.
“Those of us who were thought to be in the majority, thought to have approved my draft opinion, were really targets of assassination,” Alito added. “It was rational for people to believe that they might be able to stop the decision in Dobbs by killing one of us.” When the Journal reminded Alito about theories — which, for the record, I’ve found credible — that the leaker might well have been a conservative trying to lock in the five-justice majority to overturn Roe, the far-right justice dismissed such speculation as “infuriating.”
So to recap, a sitting member of the Supreme Court spoke on the record to one of the more reliably Republican-friendly editorial boards in major American print media. He shared his theories about the leak of one of his own draft rulings, blamed ideological adversaries, presented no evidence, and expected his speculation to be taken seriously based on what the justice perceived as sensible.

Supreme Court Justice Stevens' private papers open to publicA massive selection of papers that belonged to liberal Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens is opening to researchers at the Library of Congress. The papers provide a behind-the-scenes look at the justices’ deliberations in important cases including the election-deciding Bush v. Gore. The Chicago-born Stevens served on the Supreme Court for nearly 35 years and died in 2019. In that time, the court decided cases on issues including abortion, affirmative action, presidential power, gun rights and the rights of prisoners at the Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, detention center. The papers being made public Tuesday contain Stevens' notes from the justices’ private conferences about cases, drafts of opinions and communications between justices, among other things.
