    What circumstantial evidence?

    And did no other clerks attend?

    That Gerstein had a working relationship with the husband of one of Breyer's clerks, and attended their wedding!

    That post with the 'this is all guess, I can be completely wrong' was from May of '22. 9M later and it didn't go anywhere with an investigation that focused on the Court employees including signed affidavits that they didn't leak. What the investigation apparently didn't focus on is the Justices.

    That is absolutely not the most likely leaker. A clerk beginning their career wouldn't be the likely leaker. That's career suicide.

    It is hardly earth shattering that a reporting whose beat includes the Supreme Court would be social with clerk and invite them to their wedding.

    There were previous leaks regarding this issue in the the Hobby Lobby case.

    The justices never testified under oath.

    The justices, unlike the clerks had little to lose by leaking. Their careers weren't going to suffer. They are lifetime appointees.

    Given how this investigation was conducted we might never know who the leaker is.

    Since we are pulling things out of our asses. Alito leaked it himself to lock down the votes.

    One of my friends who is an attorney in DC had the idea that maybe it was Alito.

    Fox News reports

    The Satanic Temple is opening a health clinic in New Mexico to provide "free religious medication abortion" and will name the facility "The Samuel Alito’s Mom’s Satanic Abortion Clinic" in mockery of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, who authored the opinion overturning Roe v. Wade.

    TST Health, the new medical services arm of the nontheistic religious organization, will provide telehealth screenings and appointments to provide abortion pills to patients. These services will be provided free of charge as part of The Satanic Temple's "abortion ritual," though patients must still pay for the medications from a pharmacy, which typically cost around $90, according to the TST Health website.

    The New Mexico facility will be operated by licensed medical staff and will make its services available to state residents who are at least 17 years old, up to 11 weeks pregnant and medically eligible for an abortion.
    ...
    Launching Samuel Alito’s Mom’s Satanic Abortion Clinic in New Mexico is just the first step for TST Health, The Satanic Temple’s religious medical services arm. Plans are already underway to launch clinics in several more states, including those where the religious abortion practice is banned. The clinic's legal protections rest on TST’s central argument in several pending lawsuits: TST members’ participation in the Religious Abortion Ritual is exempt from state and federal restrictions, and bans on an essential part of a religious practice are unconstitutional and a violation of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

    I'm not sure how you could accuse Alito of leaking the opinions of big Alito wins to fan service the religious conservative - judiciary lobby

    The only evidence we have is circumstance - which is a circumstance of Alito leaking the opinions of big Alito wins to fan service the religious conservative community - judiciary lobby in hobby lobby
