Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas on Friday complained about having to “look over” his shoulder since the leak of the controversial draft opinion that would gut Roe v. Wade.
He called the disclosure of the opinion, which was written by Justice Samuel Alito and is not yet final, “kind of an infidelity” that weakens trust in the court, and has made justices regard one another with suspicion.
“What happened in the court is tremendously bad,” Thomas declared in Dallas at a conference organized by the conservative American Enterprise Institute, the Manhattan Institute and the Hoover Institution.
