The May leak of the Supreme Court draft opinion signaling the overturning of Roe v. Wade quashed an attempt by Chief Justice John Roberts to persuade his Republican-appointed colleague, Justice Brett Kavanaugh, to vote to preserve abortion rights.
Roberts's attempts at swaying Kavanaugh persisted throughout the spring high court term and into the final week of the session, according to a new CNN report. However, the May 2 leaked draft opinion of the decision in
Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, which was ultimately handed down in a 6-3 ruling on June 24 that gave states the ability to restrict or limit abortion access significantly, severely hampered Roberts's abilities when Kavanaugh's intention to strike down
Roe became public record.

The Supreme Court won't say whether it's still investigating.
The court also won't say whether the leaker has been identified or whether anyone has been disciplined.
Or whether an outside law firm or the FBI has been called in.
Or whether the court will ever offer an accounting of what transpired.
Or whether it has taken steps to try to prevent a repeat.
To these and other emailed questions, Supreme Court spokeswoman Patricia McCabe said by email: “The Court has no comment.”
