Politico publishes leaked Alito draft opinion overturning Roe v. Wade first SCOTUS draft leak

Politico publishes a full draft majority opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization written by Justice Samuel Alito, showing the Supreme Court has voted to overturn Roe v. Wade. The leak, the first of a full draft Supreme Court opinion in the institution's modern history, triggers immediate political shockwaves. Chief Justice John Roberts confirms the draft is authentic but calls the leak "a singular and egregious breach of trust." The final ruling, released June 24, is substantially the same as the leaked draft. The source of the leak is never publicly identified.
