Leakers Sabotaging Supreme Court AGAIN: Internal Memos Exposing Conservative Push to Block Obama’s Climate Power Grab Leaked to NYT

The Supreme Court of the United States, 2024

In yet another brazen breach of the Supreme Court’s confidentiality, internal memos from a pivotal 2016 battle over former President Barack Obama’s controversial Clean Power Plan have been leaked to The New York Times.

The documents, which were never meant to see the light of day for decades, detail a five-day flurry of confidential exchanges among the justices that ultimately led to a 5-4 emergency order blocking Obama’s signature climate regulation.

Chief Justice John Roberts and other conservatives argued the plan would cause “substantial and irreversible” harm to the power sector if allowed to take effect before full review.

Leaks at the high court have become disturbingly frequent, and they almost always seem to be targeting the conservative justices.

The leaked papers show the court grappling with whether to issue an unprecedented stay on the Clean Power Plan, Obama’s aggressive EPA rule aimed at slashing carbon emissions from power plants by 32% by 2030.

Conservative justices emphasized the immediate economic damage the regulation would inflict on utilities and states.

In one memo, Roberts warned, “Absent a stay, the Clean Power Plan will cause (and is causing) substantial and irreversible reordering of the domestic power sector before this court has an opportunity to review its legality.”

Liberal justices pushed back, but the court ultimately sided 5-4 to block the plan, a decision many legal experts now view as the birthplace of the modern “shadow docket,” the fast-track process the Court has increasingly used for emergency rulings on major issues.

WATCH:

This is far from the first time the Supreme Court has been hit by damaging leaks.

The leak of the 2022 Dobbs draft opinion, which overturned Roe v. Wade, remains unsolved despite an internal investigation.

It is time to identify the leakers, fire them immediately, and impose real consequences for their acts of sabotage.

Fox News reports:

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, an appointee of former President Joe Biden, has been among the most vocal dissenters in emergency cases during President Donald Trump’s second term as the president frequently benefits from the fast-paced docket. Jackson is sometimes joined by her two liberal colleagues, Kagan and Justice Sonia Sotomayor, in her dissents, and emergency cases have often split 6-3 in favor of Trump.

Last week, Jackson aired her grievances in a different forum, blasting emergency docket decisions during a Yale Law School speech as rushed, “scratch-paper musings” that undermine the high court’s purpose.

“Given the real world facts that a stay request asks the court to consider, the court’s stay decisions can, at times, come across utterly irrational,” Jackson said. “We cannot expect the public to have faith in our judicial system if, without clear explanation, we consistently greenlight harmful acts.”

The Supreme Court has not yet issued an official statement on the latest leak.

Chief Justice Roberts previously called a prior breach “absolutely appalling” and an “egregious breach of trust,” but no leaker has ever been publicly identified or punished.

The Gateway Pundit will continue monitoring for any official response from the Court or new developments in the investigation.

These are the so-called “peaceful demonstrators” that the Democratic Party claims are innocently making their voices heard.

A No Kings protester in Los Angeles was filmed vandalizing a federal building with a message calling for violence against ICE agents.

WATCH:

And rioters actually used deadly weapons, including concrete blocks, against agents and officers.

At least two people were reportedly arrested for assaulting federal officers, and two officers were injured by concrete chunks that were lobbed at them, according to federal officials. At least 75 arrests were made in total.

Videos from the riot show rioters breaking concrete blocks to be used as weapons and taunting agents on the other side of a security fence.

The Los Angeles police department deployed tear gas to disperse rioters as they were assaulted. At least one man was tackled by multiple officers as they attempted to fend off the violent mob.

Via ABC 7:

First Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California Bill Essayli issued a notice to the rioters on X, writing, “My office has authorized immediate arrests for anyone assaulting law enforcement. You will be arrested and charged with a federal felony.”

He later posted a photo of a suspect, writing,

Federal agents have started arresting those who assaulted our personnel at the Los Angeles courthouse. To those who were smashing concrete blocks and throwing them at our officers, we have you on video. We will find you and arrest you too. You’ve been warned.

More from My News LA:

The Los Angeles Police Department’s incident commander declared a citywide tactical alert around 5:10 p.m. Saturday after a group of demonstrators started kicking a fence in front of the Metropolitan Detention Center at Alameda and Temple streets. Demonstrators were ordered to leave the area.

“Protestors on Alameda between Aliso and Temple have been warned multiple times by Federal Authorities to not attempt to tear down the gate and not throw items,” a post on an LAPD social media account said.

The downtown No Kings Day rally at Gloria Molina Grand Park across from City Hall began around 2 p.m. Saturday, followed by a march at 3 p.m., part of a nationwide day of protests against the Trump administration.

The protest was peaceful until the late afternoon.

61-Year-Old Woman Executed in Wisconsin by Deranged Ex-Coworker Who Targeted Her for Being a Trump Supporter, Legacy Media REFUSING to Cover This Politically Motivated Murder

Christine A. Jones, a 61-year-old housekeeping supervisor from Cottage Grove, Wisconsin, was shot and killed in a downtown Madison parking ramp last week after being targeted by a former coworker for supporting President Donald Trump.

The suspect is her former coworker, 31-year-old Diamond Simone Wallace, who had previously accused Jones of racism because of her support for the president.

Police responded to the 300 block of West Washington Avenue around 8 a.m. on March 22 after reports of a person down in the parking ramp.

Jones was pronounced dead at the scene.

She had parked in the ramp before heading to her shift at a nearby hotel.

According to the criminal complaint, Wallace worked with Jones at the same downtown Madison hotel until he was fired in April of last year.

After the firing, Wallace returned to the hotel, made threats, and caused disturbances. The hotel’s general manager obtained a temporary restraining order against him.

The complaint states Wallace blamed Jones for the termination, slashed the tires on her Chevrolet Silverado, and had previously accused her of being racist just because she supported Trump.

Wallace “expressed animosity towards CAJ [Christine A. Jones] for being a Trump supporter,” the filing reads, according to a report from The Center Square.

The killer was arrested on March 23, the day after the shooting.

Police recovered a handgun and a blue hooded sweatshirt that matched surveillance video from the scene. Ballistics linked the gun to the murder.

Wallace has a prior felony conviction from 2019 for resisting an officer, which prohibited him from possessing a firearm.

The leftist killer appeared in Dane County Court on Wednesday.

Court Commissioner Jason Hanson set cash bail at $2 million.

Wallace has been charged with one count of first-degree intentional homicide and one count of possession of a firearm by a felon. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for April 1 at 2:30 p.m.

The Republican Party of Dane County issued a statement condemning the violence:

“No grievance, no workplace conflict, no personal resentment justifies violence. We reject any attempts to politicize this tragedy, but we cannot ignore the pain of losing a Dane County woman’s life… Dane County deserves better. Our neighbors deserve better. We must all do better. Be better humans. Choose decency. Reject violence.”

As of Sunday, no major national legacy media outlets have reported the political motive detailed in the criminal complaint.

If a Trump supporter had killed someone over political beliefs, it would dominate headlines for weeks with screams of “MAGA extremism” and “threats to democracy.” But when the victim is a conservative grandmother targeted for supporting Trump? Crickets.

Gateway Pundit will continue to update this story as new information becomes available.
