Oh to have been a fly on the wall

Line 'em up

Not sure they'll have the votes. I'm guessing they won't.  But it will certainly put Senators on the record.  It will be interesting to see how those who have said they favor keeping Roe twist up a defense of voting no.

[A] roughly 30-second clip shows what appears to be a nude [Madison] Cawthorn in a bed thrusting with his groin near the head of an unidentified person. A male voice can be heard saying, “Oh ma yah yah oh” repeatedly. A male voice can also be heard laughing and saying, “stick it in his face.”

The video footage emerged after photos surfaced showing Cawthorn wearing women’s lingerie ― images he said were from a “goofy” game on a cruise ― and a video that showed one of his male staff members grabbing his crotch. The latter video has sparked an ethics complaint, The Washington Times reported.

The North Carolina Republican has also made headlines over allegations of insider trading, trying to bring a loaded handgun onto a plane for the second time and having to surrender his driver’s license after driving with a suspended license. In late March, he also raised some eyebrows when he claimed that the D.C. elite had previously invited him to orgies and done cocaine in front of him.

The scope of the Roberts-authorized investigation [of the Alito draft abortion rights decision leak] is unknown. A probe of the small and clubby staff of the Supreme Court would put every justice in an uncomfortable position, exposing them to questions about their phone and email records in ways that justices are rarely, if ever, confronted. And any thorough investigation is likely to also sweep up the families and close associates of justices and clerks.

“If there’s a serious investigation of who leaked, am I right that it likely includes not only all the clerks and Court staff that would have access to the opinion, but also the Justices and their families?” wondered Orin Kerr, a law professor who has argued before the Supreme Court. “Could be pretty wide-ranging.”

Some legal experts noted that the circumstances surrounding the draft opinion’s disclosure — such as whether any money changed hands — would determine whether a criminal predicate exists. A spokesperson for POLITICO emphasized that the company did not and would not pay to obtain the document.

“POLITICO doesn’t pay for information or sources,” said spokesperson Brad Dayspring.

The discussion of a potential crime was the subject of debate among lawmakers Tuesday morning during a Senate Judiciary subcommittee hearing. When Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) suggested that the DOJ explore the disclosure of the draft opinion Tuesday, Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) shot back that it was unclear what potential crime the department would be investigating.

And, indeed, SCOTUS might well regret an investigation into their own muck.
