Source: Politico
The Supreme Court is set to gather Thursday for the first time since the disclosure that it voted to overturn Roe v. Wade, and theres no sign that the court is changing course from issuing that ruling by the end of June.
Justice Samuel Alitos sweeping and blunt draft majority opinion from February overturning Roe remains the courts only circulated draft in the pending Mississippi abortion case, POLITICO has learned, and none of the conservative justices who initially sided with Alito have to date switched their votes. No dissenting draft opinions have circulated from any justice, including the three liberals.
That could explain why no second draft of Alitos majority opinion has been distributed, as typically the two sides react to one anothers written arguments and recast their own.
As the nine justices prepare for their scheduled, private, closed-door conference this week, they face one of the greatest crises in modern Supreme Court history, with an internal leak investigation under way, an agitated nation focused on whether the constitutional right to abortion is about to be overturned, and some justices facing angry protests at their homes.

Trump Kept Asking if China Was Shooting Us With a 'Hurricane Gun'
Near the beginning of Donald Trumps time in office, the then-president had a pressing question for his national-security aides and administration officials: Does China have the secret technology a weapon, even to create large, man-made hurricanes and then launch them at the United States? And if so, would this constitute an act of war by a foreign power, and could the U.S. retaliate militarily? Then-President Trump repeatedly asked about this, according to two former senior administration officials and a third person briefed on the matter.
It was almost too stupid for words, said a former Trump official intimately familiar with the then-sitting presidents inquiry. I did not get the sense he was joking at all.
The sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private conversations, tell Rolling Stone that Trump began interrogating national-security officials and other staffers about the alleged weapon during the first year of his presidency, and his question would pop up sporadically until at least 2018. Two of the sources recalled that as Trump got deeper into the second year in his term, he started to drop the topic, and occasionally joked about it.
In certain circles within the upper ranks of Trumpland, the then-leader of the free worlds query became such a mockable occurrence that it became known among some as the Hurricane Gun thing.
