Here's where things start to get interesting. Every law student has to write a note – a long legal research paper, usually making a novel argument about the law.

If you’re interested, Will Chamberlain has much more on this on his Twitter feed. He makes a pretty good case.

I & I Editorial Board:
“…The left’s freakout over a leaked draft of a Supreme Court opinion overturning Roe v. Wade is hardly surprising. It has a collective breakdown whenever it loses on an issue, even a trivial one. But what did surprise us was the radical, downright insurrectionist talk spewed by at least one Democrat.
The unprecedented leak of a draft of a Supreme Court opinion – apparently in hopes that it would somehow change the outcome – was a sign of the left’s unbalanced mental state. As soon as the leak hit the internet, protests erupted, calls for packing the court and ending the filibuster re-emerged, and the hyperbole gushed forth.
Case in point is the statement from the two Democratic congressional leaders. “The Supreme Court is poised to inflict the greatest restriction of rights in the past 50 years – not just on women but on all Americans,” they screeched, adding that overturning Roe would be “an abomination, one of the worst and most damaging decisions in modern history.”
What really caught our eye, however, was what Massachusetts Sen. Ed Markey said:
“A stolen, illegitimate, and far-right Supreme Court majority appears set to destroy the right to abortion, an essential right which protects the health, safety, and freedom of millions of Americans. There is no other recourse. We must expand the court.”
Read those words carefully. Stolen. Illegitimate. What does Markey mean?
The current conservative majority on the court was the result of three appointments by duly elected President Donald Trump. Those appointments were each conducted by the book. The candidates were highly qualified. They were vetted by the Senate, which carried out its duty to advise and consent.
It was the left that deployed extreme, and arguably illegitimate, measures to block each of these nominees. Democrats tried to filibuster one, engaged in a despicable display of character assassination against another, and smeared the third.
So how, in Markey’s opinion, has the Court been “stolen” or can be called “illegitimate”?
Markey can only mean that Trump never should have been president. That his presidency was also stolen and illegitimate.
If Markey were conservative, there’d be rending of garments, wailing and gnashing of teeth. He’s undermining democracy! He’s destroying people’s faith and trust in our institutions!! He’s inciting violence!!!
Markey would be made to answer for this abhorrent language, and his colleagues forced to say whether they condone it. And he’d be impeached if anyone took him at his word and in any way tried to stop the justices from issuing their decision.
None of that will happen, of course, because Markey is a liberal and liberals can say anything they want.
Just to be clear, we don’t think Markey is an insurrectionist who should be canceled. But what’s good for the goose is good for the gander.
In the meantime, let’s consider the context of the left’s meltdown.
If Roe were overturned, abortion would not automatically be illegal across the nation. Instead, residents of 50 states would once again be free – as they were before Roe – to debate this issue and decide what laws and regulations they want regarding the killing of unborn babies. Some states, California, for one, have already pledged to remove any restrictions on abortion if Roe is overturned. Others will enact limits, stricter health and safety regulations, etc. Some might ban it entirely.
Guess what. That’s how it’s supposed to work.
As the draft opinion published by Politico states: “The Constitution does not prohibit the citizens of each State from regulating or prohibiting abortion. Roe and Casey arrogated that authority. We now overrule those decisions and return that authority to the people and their elected representatives.”
In other words, overturning Roe will restore citizens’ rights, not strip them away. That’s what people like Markey find “illegitimate.”…”
“…The leak of a draft majority opinion of the U.S. Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade and Casey v. Planned Parenthood — and with it our 50-year regime of legalized murder of the unborn — has rightly captured the nation’s attention. It is without question the most important news story in the country, and, if the draft decision stands, the most important political development in a generation.
But it is also more than these things. Whether the draft opinion stands or falls, this is a great moment of moral clarity for the nation — and a time of great peril. Now we see, as we rarely have over the past five decades, the severity of what Roe inaugurated in 1973 and Casey sustained in 1992.
By snatching the question of abortion from the American people and their elected representatives, and doing so with such shoddy jurisprudence that it has since distorted many other areas of constitutional law, Roe divided the nation and sowed the seeds of a constitutional crisis. The contours of that crisis are now coming into view.
What’s clear already is that the left is willing to destroy every institution of American civic life to preserve their abortion regime…”

Supreme Court abortion leak latest in series of institutional betrayals
There is no question in my mind that we have the worst class of political and media elites of my adult life. Both sides are poor. The Democrats have taken lefty politics to an extreme I did not think possible in our country. They have been aided and abetted by an unprofessional and biased media and bureaucracy.

Met Gala red carpet 2022: Live updates of all the celebrity outfits
I enjoy fashion. I must say that the current trends on display at the Met Gala show a drift in the fashion world that parallels “elite” society. The drift is toward the sane/insane boundary where many social elites seem to be embracing the insanity side of the divide. Click on the link and decide for yourself. Just good fun?
The alleged leak of the opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization is nothing short of breathtaking. It would constitute one of the greatest breaches of security in the history of the Court.

…If this is a true copy of the draft opinion it is hard not to view this as a malicious act. What is the motivation of releasing such a decision? The only intent of such a leak is to trigger a response from outside of the Court.
— Jonathan Turley (@JonathanTurley) May 3, 2022
…The most likely motivation is obviously to pressure the Court and push the legislation in Congress on a federal abortion law before the midterm elections. It will also likely renew the call for court packing.

Just spoke with former Supreme Court clerk. They are horrified.
This is a quote:"This leak has to come from a clerk or Justice themselves. It is intended to blow up the court. Criminal investigation needs to happen now."
They suggest Sotomayor has most radical leftist staff.

I think it is pretty obvious, though not certain, that the leak came from the left. The left will stop at nothing to get their way.
Congress must pass legislation that codifies Roe v. Wade as the law of the land in this country NOW. And if there aren’t 60 votes in the Senate to do it, and there are not, we must end the filibuster to pass it with 50 votes.
— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) May 3, 2022
Sanders is correct; however, in his statement of how to change U.S. law. The problem with the Roe decision was it did not follow the procedure outlined by Sanders. On the other hand, a law-making on an issue like abortion should and must be bipartisan in nature including both Democrats and Republicans. That will require negotiations and compromise. That is how our system is built. It is built that way to prevent one-sided laws created by a simple majority that half the country is against.
I don’t believe the Democrats have 50 votes for an effort anyway. Either for ending the filibuster or for a national abortion law.
The abortion fanatics will be out in force and the irresponsible media and politicians will use them for political advantage. I believe the country has moved on this issue and the old Bill Clinton position is the current fashion, “legal, safe, rare.” But it will go to states for decisions.
In case you doubted that the issue would be demagogued by irresponsible politicians, Here are the Democrat leaders of the house and senate (Democrats control all three branches of government at the moment) issuing a joint statement:

Yes, the gates of hell have opened and Republican devils in the guise of Hitler have issued forth to prevent minority women from killing their unborn children.
BIDEN CALLS FOR ELECTION OF ABORTION ADVOCATES
Abortion is everything now. Remember what abortion is.
Abortion is the killing of an unborn child.
Abortion has become a cult religion for the left.
