first I want to point out NYT headlined this newsletter with "how Dobbs happened" as if the answer wasn't obviously "Trump stole the election then stole 3 scotus appts for the express purpose of overturning roe." I don't want to hear about how Amy Coathanger Barrett thought "the timing wasn't right" or who wanted to negotiate on just how much bodily autonomy women get.

obviously alito leaked the draft. he's leaked opinions before, he had motive to cement votes in place, and there's the fact that the investigation into the leaker abruptly stopped with no result and no one being punished. all of these justices lied in their confirmation hearing when they promised to uphold roe and alito was the first.
I told y'all people can't afford 20 different subscriptions. the whole reason cable TV was invented was because nobody can afford this shit a la carte (mostly cause y'all try to charge the same or more for one channel as it costs for the whole bundle).
this is also the shortest Morning excerpt I think I've ever seen... usually you get kind of a preview summary of the whole article, including the conclusions it comes to. this time they're like "you might think Dobbs happened because a bunch of anti-abortion activist judges were appointed by a wannabe dictator to pursue a decades-long conservative goal... it's complicated, read the article."
