It turns out the Dobbs leak probe was even worse than we thought. (via Deadline: Legal Blog)
It’s understandable, to some extent, that the marshal — who works for the court — would feel uncomfortable conducting real interviews of her bosses or making them swear on paper that they aren’t liars. The investigation was sort of doomed from the start.
This latest news, then, underscores the probe’s incestuous nature. We already knew that Chertoff has ties to conservatives on the court, including Dobbs opinion author Samuel Alito. It’s doubtful that many people who recognized the report’s shortcomings put much stock in his approval in the first place. But like the marshal’s relationship to the court, Chertoff’s undisclosed ties also lessen whatever value the report had.
So in addition to pointing out that this is the court's latest transparency failure, I’ll note again that the justices can stillto make the investigation a little less pathetic: Step up and sign affidavits themselves, regardless of whether the marshal asked them to do so. With the probe’s apparent ability to get weaker over time, they might want to consider doing so sooner rather than later.Jordan Rubin is the Deadline: Legal Blog writer.
