US Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas said the leak of a draft opinion in a case signalling the court’s conservative majority will overturn constitutional protections for abortion access was “tremendously bad” and an “infedility” that has undermined the institution and exposed its fragility.
Justice Thomas, speaking at a conference hosted by right-wing think tank American Enterprise Institute in Dallas on 13 May, said the leak of the opinion drafted by conservative Justice Samuel Alito in the Dobbs vs Jackson Women’s Health Organization is “beyond anyone’s understanding, or at least anyone’s imagination.”
