Days after the devastating leak that shook America, the person who provided a draft version of a Supreme Court opinion to the media has yet to be identified but some have speculated that the culprit was a staffer for one of the high court’s leftist justices.

Now Senator Ted Cruz has gone on record with his suggestion that the most likely source of the leak was inside the office of Justice Sonia Sotomayor.

The Texas Republican, who has condemned the unprecedented leak as “the consequence of the Democrats’ rabidly partisan effort to undermine the court,” made his remarks on the latest edition of his podcast “The Verdict” during a conversation with co-host Michael Knowles about the leak and its ramifications, especially when it comes to the SCOTUS as in institution.

“I had several reporters ask today ‘what if it was a justice that did this?’ I gotta tell you, I just don’t believe that,” Cruz said, ruling out the Obama appointee herself. “It is such a grotesque violation of trust, to me it is beyond imagination that a justice would do this.”

“To use the nuclear code example, it’s like the president handing the nuclear codes to Putin, it’s just…I cannot believe that even the most left-wing justice would do this,” he added.

“I think it is very, very likely a law clerk,” he said. “And it is very, very likely a law clerk for one of the three liberal justices, that means there are twelve human beings who are your likely suspect pool, that’s not a big likely suspect pool.”

“It is likely to be someone who is a hard partisan, and who was willing to burn the place down because he or she was so upset about what happens,” Cruz continued, “If I were to guess, the most likely justice for whom the law clerk is clerking is Sonia Sotomayor.”

“Why do you say that?” Knowles asked the senator.

“Because she’s the most partisan of the justices, and so, she’s the most likely to hire wild-eyed partisans as clerks,” he answered, adding that “I have no evidence of that. I’m just making an inference.”

The self-described “wise Latina” has been more openly political than any member of the SCOTUS, frequently lashing out against her colleagues on decisions that she disagrees with.

Speculation that the leak came from Sotomayor’s crew has been swirling on Twitter for days.

Cruz previously went off on the “woke, little left-wing twit” during an appearance on Fox News.

“It is difficult to overstate how destructive it is to the Supreme Court, to the independence of the judiciary, to the integrity of the court, to have a draft opinion leaked during the process of deciding the case,” Cruz said.

“In over 200 years of our nation’s history, that has never happened, and there was one woke, little left-wing twit who decided to hell with his or her obligations to the justice they work for, to hell with their obligations to the court, to hell with their obligations to the rule of law, that they would instead try to sneak it out in order to put political pressure on the justices and intimidate them into changing their votes,” he added.

Chief Justice John Roberts has announced that an investigation is being conducted by the Marshal of the Court into the source of the “absolutely appalling” leak.

  1. the sand nig isnt even a US citizen. Needs to be deported and his boss impeached.

  2. An investigation needs to be conducted, the culprit identified, tried and sentenced and banned from ever being involved in any form of jurisprudence. However, RINO chief justice Roberts specifying an internal investigation is like having the fox guard the hen house. From an internal investigation how can the American people be assured that all the details of said investigation will be revealed?

  3. Don’t “know” who did “it”, BUT DEFINATELY a POLITICAL DEM! WHY? The Dems are “down the tubes”! Abortion “IS” their only “hope” re 2022 Nov. “elections”. NOBODY in their right mind would vote for a DEM. Do you like high gas prices, being killed shopping for groceries,AND having “kids” being schooled in “SEX”? “WHAT”? is WRONG with these people in WASHINGTON? DOES ANYBODY STILL HAVE ANY ETHICS? FAT CHANCE! “It’s” ALL ABOUT THE MONEY!

  4. She’s also the dumbest….who can forget her comments on fetus/brain dead people, her apparent ignorance on the tenth amendment, 100,000 children with serious Covid……….

  5. What totally amazes me is that why is there not more outrage over the fact there was a leak? This is disturbing and violates the sanctity of our high court. And furthermore, seeing as how this was an OPINION DRAFT, why are the radicals going so beserk? And this includes those “elected officials” in D.C!! They quite apparently don’t understand how the court works and are out there shooting off their big mouths (Biden, Pelosi, Warren..you know who they are) over an OPINION. There has been no ruling, so what’s the beef? And should this turn into a RULING, all it means is it’s out of the control of the almighty feds!! It means the issue goes back to the states, where it should have been all along. So for all those foaming at the mouth lunatics out there, if you can’t understand that, then maybe you ought to go back to school and retake American History & Civics 101.

  6. any of the loser justices on the left side and probably one of roberts or kavanaugh could have done it. The SC needs to be packed with some right wing maga justices……Too much liberal politics in the SC!!!

    1. No, we do NOT need “court packing”….I don’t believe acting like a radical liberal would benefit anyone.

  7. Will the FBI raid the homes of these people and have CNN record it as they march them into a back SUV?
    OR is the FBI a bunch of bought and paid for Democrat
    operatives.

  8. This site just gets more and more dysfunctional. Time for BPR and that wretched Tommy’s Garage to go to the trash.

    1. Oh, did they upset you? Move on to a site that you like, it’s that easy.

      1. I think they are commenting on how dysfunctional the new and improved comment section is. It’s nearly unusable and based on the very few comments on any article, I believe most feel the same.

  9. Speculation will not get it-we need facts, and if she was involved-she needs to be removed from SCOTUS.

  10. A ‘MINORITY’, PURTO RICAN LIBERAL JUDGE, FROM LEFTIST NY. IT’S NOT HARD TO FIGURE OUT.

  11. It would be far easier and safer for the unqualified, diversity token, affirmative action hire pig Sotomayor to have done this than a clerk. She owes her seat to the Traitor Obama, she’s gender and race obsessed and has never had any respect for the rule of law. This is Obama’s illegal 3rd shadow-presidency term (as he blatantly, publicly lined out for that deformed imbecile Colbert in 2016) but Biden has turned out to be more of a retard and less controllable than he imagined, his personal pick for vp, Harris, has proven to be the most ignorant hated vp ever, and he needed some flim flam to rouse his sub-moronic base. Get this f***ing pig and roast her over a fire and the truth will come out. It was Sotomayor.

  12. I’m actually thinking it was a China or Russia hack. Or a turncoat under one of conservative justices.

  13. If Sotomayor had anything to do with this why don’t the Republican senators advise that the first thing they are going to do next January is to start an impeachment trial against her. And then when that is over they can start the obvious one against Lying Joe.

  14. I still remember some of the prejudicial language that came out of Justice Sonia Sotomayor when she was approved. It is a safe bet that the leaker is connected to the SCOTUS. Of course, I doubt that the corrupt FBI would the individual, especially if he/she is a leftist!!

  15. Sotomayor was my guess for the leak all along. Maybe it was a clerk in her office but perhaps at Sotomayor’s direction.

  16. Considering Sotomayor takes her responsibility to the Court so lightly that she didn’t bother with research while discussing COVID and quoted wildly wrong numbers for children ill and hospitalized with the virus, I suspect she takes the rest of her position just as lightly. If she or someone she hired as a clerk or staff is found to be the leak, I hope the rest of the Court will ensure she resigns.

  17. There’s also speculation about a Breyer clerk named Elizabeth Deutsch, who has expressed extreme pro-abortion views in the past.

  18. to me it is beyond imagination that a justice would do this.”

    Which is precisely why the three liberal justices themselves must also be investigated as thoroughly as any of the interns. Being automatically considered to be “above suspicion” is usually a great cover.

  19. Why no noise from ‘our conservative media/pundits’ that ‘whoevers’ clerk did this… The JUDGE should resign IMMEDIATELY?!

  20. As far as I’m concerned, this is akin to treason! There should be severe punishment for it, you know, like the January 6 punishment?
