Wade. That monumental decision was announced on Friday. Yet the identity of the leaker remains unknown.<\/p>\n<p>Chief Justice John Roberts directed the marshal of the court to launch an investigation into the leaker the day after the May 2 leak, stating that the move was intended to \u201cundermine the integrity of our operations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt will not succeed,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Wire has repeatedly pressed the court as to what stage its investigation is at, more than 50 days after the leak, and whether the leaker has been identified. A spokeswoman for the Supreme Court has not addressed these requests for comment.<\/p>\n<p>The court may be waiting for the end of the term to divulge the leaker\u2019s identity \u2014 if that identity has been uncovered. Or the leaker might opt to go public themselves, suggested Josh Blackman, a constitutional law professor at South Texas College of Law Houston.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-401596\" class=\"wp-image-401596 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/GettyImages-1405092322-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/GettyImages-1405092322-scaled-1.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/GettyImages-1405092322-300x200-1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/GettyImages-1405092322-864x576-1.jpg 864w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/GettyImages-1405092322-768x512-1.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/GettyImages-1405092322-1536x1024-1.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/GettyImages-1405092322-2048x1365-1.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/GettyImages-1405092322-1800x1200-1.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/GettyImages-1405092322-1200x800-1.jpg 1200w\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-401596\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">WASHINGTON, D.C. \u2013 JUNE 24: Pro-life activists react after the Supreme Court issued a ruling that overturned <em>Roe v.
