The Dobbs leak has come to symbolize the ultimate disregard for justice and the rule of law at the heart of the abortion lobby’s modus operandi, which has proven quite willing to stop at … well, nothing.

“We do not pretend to know how our political system or society will respond to today’s decision overruling Roe and Casey.”

So wrote Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito in his majority opinion overturning Roe v. Wade.

“This made us targets of assassination,” Justice Alito recently told The Wall Street Journal in a feature-length interview, which describes the justice being forced to deliver a law school speech through Zoom for security reasons in the wake of the ruling. “Still, there were so many protesters and they were so loud that you could hear them,” he said.

An assassination attempt on Justice Brett Kavanaugh. The harassment of Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s minor children. The ongoing smear campaign of Justice Clarence Thomas. The leaking of justices’ addresses and illegal protests outside their homes. A justice chased out the backdoor of a restaurant. This is the stuff of banana republics.

If he could only have imagined.

No doubt Alito thought up a lot of possible post-Dobbs outcomes but having his draft leaked months before the opinion was due for release likely wasn’t among them. The courage it took to write those words couldn’t be clearer, one year later.

Indeed. We are losing the rule of law in favor of the rule of the woke mob. I don't know if this slide can even be reversed. If it can, it would have to be by a resurgence of now rare common sense.
