Newsmax host Grant Stinchfield ludicrously accused Ketanji Brown Jackson of leaking the draft opinion overturning Roe v. Wade. There is one big problem with the theory: Jackson doesn’t even join SCOTUS until after the current term ends this summer.
Additionally, with the right convinced the leaker is a liberal attempting to energize Democratic voters and intimidate conservative justices, it was only a matter of time before right-wing provocateurs and wannabe Twitter sleuths began recklessly“I find it suspect that the first leak coming out of the Supreme Court in history come shortly after Judge Jackson is confirmed,” the Newsmax host declared during his primetime show.
“I want to know if her law clerks—who, I am sure, have already been hired, possibly even working at the high court already before her swearing-in—have access to these draft decisions,” he continued, without any evidence of course. “She would be my first suspect when it comes to the leak because Ketanji Brown Jackson is a radical left-wing activist, more radical than any other justice in the history of the Supreme Court,” the Newsmax star concluded. “I believe she is capable of undermining the court this way.”
Of course, it is patently ridiculous to suggest that Jackson or her clerks, who will not be with the court until Justice Stephen Breyer officially steps down later this summer. Furthermore, the opinion was originally drafted in February by Justice Samuel Alito—This is far from the first time that Stinchfield has tossed out bonkers claims about the Supreme Court.
