This is from yesterday.
In a release, Chief Justice John Roberts stated the matter would go directly to the Marshal of the Supreme Court, a law enforcement official that answers directly to the court.
“To the extent this betrayal of the confidences of the Court was intended to undermine the integrity of our operations, it will not succeed,” Roberts wrote.
“The work of the Court will not be affected in any way.
“We at the Court are blessed to have a workforce – permanent employees and law clerks alike – intensely loyal to the institution and dedicated to the rule of law,” the statement continued.
“Court employees have an exemplary and important tradition of respecting the confidentiality of the judicial process and upholding the trust of the Court. This was a singular and egregious breach of that trust that is an affront to the Court and the community of public servants who work here.
“I have directed the Marshal of the Court to launch an investigation into the source of the leak.”
The current Marshal of the Supreme Court is Col. Gail A. Curley, according to Fox News, who was appointed in May of 2021.
Very very obviously, one of the employees is NOT ”exemplary” nor cared a whit for the ”tradition” of the court.
I continue to wonder why he does not state that he has directed the ”Marshal of the Court” to polygraph all employees with the exception of the Justices.
