United States Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) got into an argument with reporters on Capitol Hill on Friday over who was behind Monday's leak of a draft Supreme Court opinion reversing the landmark Roe versus Wade and Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania versus Casey decisions, which codified the constitutional right to have an abortion.
Cruz first shared his theory in a Tuesday morning Fox Business appearance, postulating to host Jim Varney that "some left-wing presumably law clerk wanted to put political pressure on the five Justices" who were named in the document's majority. "They wanted to put heat and they wanted to invoke politics to try to get them to change their vote. And by the way," Cruz continued, "if that left-wing law clerk succeeds, it would be the most grotesque politicization of the Supreme Court in the history of our nation."
