Alito Plays World's Tiniest Violin Over Dobbs Leak Making Him A Target

Oh, come on. We all know it was probably Ginni Thomas, so take your complaints to your buddy Clarence, you right-wing asshole. And it wasn't the leak that made you a target, it was the DECISION. Via the Washington Post:

The threat to the justices, he added, was not theoretical because it “gave people a rational reason to think they could prevent that from happening by killing one of us.”
