Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on Tuesday lashed out at Democrats for failing to complain about the leak of a draft Supreme Court opinion that would allow states to force women to carry unwanted pregnancies to term and instead choosing to criticise the draft opinion itself.
Mr McConnell – who was instrumental in allowing former president Donald Trump to appoint three of the justices who joined Justice Samuel Alito’s draft opinion striking down a half-century of precent by overruling Roe v Wade and Planned Parenthood v Casey – called the leak a “stunning breach” meant as an attack against the high court’s independence.
