WaPo: Biden officials 'panicked' that they can't do anything to stop reversal of Roe v. Wade

[SugarDaddy1]

A Washington Post report said that the Biden administration was caught off guard by the leak showing the Supreme Court was primed to overturn Roe v. Wade, and officialsare panicked about their inability to stop it.

“A lot of what the Biden administration could do would be window dressing, in that ultimately we’re going to have a system of conflicting access to reproductive health and rights depending upon the state you live in,” said Georgetown health law expert Lawrence Gostin. “And there’s very little that Biden can do about that.”

The report said the administration was debating numerous executive and regulatory measures to defend abortion rights, but most of those efforts would likely be doomed if they were challenged and decided in the Supreme Court.

“Every single thing they do is going to get legally challenged, and every lawyer agrees,” said one outside adviser. “A bunch of attorneys general will mobilize, and [the administration] will lose.”

But weren't they the leakers?

No. Had to be someone inside SCOTUS with access.

One thing the WH could have done is strongly condemn the leak and speak factually about what a decision to overturn Roe actually means.

They can harm a couple of Justices or their families and get the rest to reverse their decisions by June. Probably the plan.

Delusional

This isn't a nation security issue. If you cash a government paycheck you are an employee of the citizens and taxpayers. The notion that an employer cannot inspect the work of their employees at anytime or that employees can keep work related secrets from an employer is absurd.

You might want to try that yourself.

Care to cite a factual error in something I’ve posted on this topic?

WaPo = fakenews per 45.

That reasoning rules out official secrets of any kind, even military. You won't get much support for that. The public generally accepts that, e.g., the police will not comment on an ongoing investigation for fear of tipping off the culprits.

I cited security issues. This isn't a security issue. This isn't publishing the names of under aged sex crime victims. These are government employees performing their duties just like every other person with a job and an employer. The idea that every minimum wage worker working a cash register has a camera pointed at them their entire shift but a civil servant can keep secrets from tax payers is absurd.

You remind of right wingers who love authoritarians and giving special preference to anyone in a position of power. The general public clearly understands transparency for civil servants performing their duties. Widespread support for police body cameras is a prime example.
