After New Interview, Some Claim Justice Stephen Breyer Was Dobbs Leaker

Retired Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer gave a new interview to NBC’s Meet the Press. The liberal media outlet asked the former liberal justice about his time on the nation’s highest court.

During the interview, NBC asked Breyer about a potential compromise before the Supreme Court issued its decision overturning Roe v. Wade. In a 6-3 decision, the nation’s highest court issued a ruling allowing states to protect babies from abortions.

Before the Dobbs ruling was handed down, reports indicated Chief Justice John Roberts was attempting to forge a compromise that would uphold the Mississippi law banning later abortions but not overturn Roe itself. However the court’s 5 conservative justices did not go along with that and decided to overturn Roe in its entirety.

“I always think it’s possible, usually up until the last minute,” Breyer said.

That sparked speculation on social media that Breyer himself could have leaked the decision. But Breyer himself thinks it was not anyone on the top court itself.

“You have a theory. People have theories. I don’t mean to be coy, but I really don’t want to get into something,” Justice Breyer said. “I’d be amazed if it was a judge.”

Breyer was also asked about the Dobbs leak and the timing of it coming just months before the decision was ultimately handed down.

NBC also asked Breyer if Dobbs could be overturned.

“Oh, it’s possible. But who knows?” he said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
