Almost certainly Alito, leaking to prevent defections from imposing Catholic theology as policy.
The Trump-owned Justice Dept seems to think Dobbs was a Liberal leak. But the leak shut down Liberal justices’ attempts at reaching a compromise. Most likely it was Alito himself or a cohort. Saying he has “a pretty good idea who is responsible” illustrates his supreme arrogance. archive.is/Zgkq9

We have our first big resignation since the election, and it’s the Justice Department official behind Trump’s whole election strategy. Harmeet Dhillon took an office built to protect voters and used it to intimidate them, all to soothe Trump’s ego. Now she’s out.
