According to a report from CNN legal analyst Joan Biskupic, the far-right hardliners on the Supreme Court rushed to get out the final draft of the ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade over fears that Chief Justice John Roberts would persuade Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh to agree to a less draconian decision.
Noting that Roberts opposes abortion, Biskupic reports that Robert's thought the early draft by Justice Sam Alito that was leaked went too far and hoped to dial back the restrictions that impact the lives of women.
As the report notes, the draft leak created a sense of urgency among the court's more extremist members, and the race was on to arrive at a final draft and get it out before minds could be changed.

They allowed that lie to fester, knowing what they did.
Now I agree with Conservative Media -- WE NEED TO PROSECUTE THE LEAKERS

(21,786 posts)5. That is my guess. Backed with no evidence whatsoever.
They say Alito has been working on this since his college days, and I bet he wrote and rewrote this decision over and over through the years.
He finally settled on this work of jeenyus and he wanted to make sure the world got to see his unadulterated brilliance, lest the Court released a watered down version.
