Chapter 1: What was the impact of the Dobbs decision leak on Supreme Court justices?
The infamous leak of the Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade violated the crucial policy of confidentiality within the Supreme Court. It also put the conservative justices at very real risk amid intense outside pressure and even an assassination attempt.
Now, new revelations about what took place behind the scenes during that tense period has shined a troubling spotlight on the polarization of the high court.
In her new book on Justice Samuel Alito, who penned the Dobbs decision, Molly Hemingway details the fraught lead-up to the release of that landmark decision and highlights the way the conservative justice has modeled the way forward for the court.

Under the Biden administration, the FDA sought to bypass pro-life state laws by making abortion drugs available through the mail. This is incredibly dangerous. It means anyone can access these drugs, including men who want to coerce or trick pregnant women to abort their unborn babies. That's what happened to a young woman named Rosalie.

It's wonderful to be here with you.
So your book just came out on Justice Alito, and it's already making headlines, actually. First, what surprised you most while reporting this book, something that really changed how you personally saw Alito in the court?
Well, I interviewed close to 100 people for the book, and these were Supreme Court justices and federal judges, law professors, really high-level people. And the thing that was the most revealing for me was about the reaction of the liberal justices to the Dobbs leak.
So when that leaked, the justices who signed on to the Dobbs decision – this was the one overturning Roe after 50 years – they had their lives threatened. They had to wear bulletproof vests. They had to be moved to secure locations. And the liberal justices actually slow-walked their dissent, quite intentionally so, and against the wishes of their colleagues to kind of drag that out until –
the very last minute, even though their colleagues' lives were under threat. And I just thought that was something, obviously, nobody knew that was going on behind the scenes, and it was just really surprising to learn that.
Yeah, honestly, I was shocked when I first read that coming out of your book. Can you unpack it for us? How exactly did they slow walk that process?
