Her belief is that it was a clerk for a conservative justice to try and keep the right leaning justices from caving to Chief Justice John Roberts and upholding Roe.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cPerhaps one of the clerks and the leading theory is a conservative clerk,\u201d she suggested. \u201cWho was afraid that one of the conservatives might be persuaded by Chief Justice Roberts into joining the much more moderate opinion.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Totenburg went on to say, it is highly unlikely the identity of the leaker will ever be known. Meanwhile, experts are divided on the origins of the leak, but most agree it was a clerk and not one of the justices themselves.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/cherry-blossom-park-reopens-to-the-public-in-toronto\/\">Cherry Blossom Park Reopens To The Public In Toronto<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FILE \u2013 The Supreme Court is seen at dusk in Washington, Oct. 22, 2021.
