Supreme Court could rule on Roe v. Wade on Monday, as Biden admin braces for violence after decision
The Biden admin is preparing for nationwide violence after the Supreme Court issues a decision on Roe v. Wade

The Supreme Court could issue a ruling on abortion as soon as Monday, which would be days after a memo leaked from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reveals the Biden administration is preparing for a nationwide wave of violence following the decision on the future of Roe v. Wade.

A leaked draft opinion by Justice Samuel Alito signaling the high court plans to overturn landmark abortion case Roe v. Wade sparked pro-choice protests nationwide and an uptick in violence. Protesters have targeted the homes of conservative Supreme Court justices and vandals have targeted at least five pro-life crisis pregnancy centers across the U.S. and Catholic churches have been threatened and vandalized.

Additionally, a memo dated May 13 from DHS reveals that the Biden administration is investigating threats to the Supreme Court building and to justices in the weeks since the leak. The memo first reported by Axios details ongoing investigations into threats to "burn down or storm" the Supreme Court building.

If the right-side majority (5 justices) hasn't changed its mind, then it's Roberts who is holdin' things up.

The Court gains nothing from "holding back" this decision (as it normally would have done until the very last day of the session, if not for the leak).

Might as well get it out there, and be done with it.
Once issued, it can't be "taken back" any time soon.

Do this now, and let the chips fall where they may.

Not trusting anyone anymore it would not be a surprise if they uphold Roe.

No doubt that's what Roberts will pressure for, isn't he the one that thinks upholding the law is less important than angering the left?
