The hunt begins.
Pro-Trump personalities have already tagged a random Supreme Court clerk as the Roe opinion leaker and whipped up a Twitter mob. Their evidence is incredibly thin — it mostly consists of the revelation that a liberal clerk would write a pro-abortion rights article in law school.

The freewheeling speculation about the identity of the Roe leaker reminds me of when 8chan tried to identify who doxed a few GOP Senators.
They thought the doxer was a staffer in Maxine Waters' office. They were wrong! They just didn't understand how IP addresses work. https://t.co/V6QEELK95f

The performances of outrage over the leak of the Roe decision haven't been very good. They're either melodramatic to the point of obvious insincerity (like Eric's attempt here), half-hearted and listless, or lazy attempts to dox the suspected leaker via a few google searches. https://t.co/j7NA5glnbL

Dinesh D'Souza and other conservative pundits are targeting random Supreme Court clerks after the Roe leak, baselessly accusing them of being the leaker. https://t.co/mWHI3RbsQ2

Coming to your ballot.
Majewski painted his lawn into a giant Trump sign then did a Fox & Friends interview about it while wearing a Q t-shirt, he's a QAnon conspiracy theorist. https://t.co/3OgXXA3szk https://t.co/OrQ6qutykV

J.R. Majewski, who recently won the GOP primary election in Ohio's ninth district and will challenge the incumbent in November, is technically speaking "pilled to the gills." He repeatedly used QAnon slogans on multiple platforms and wore QAnon merchandise. https://t.co/TqYhFfxjZ4

U.S. House nominee J.R. Majewski lied when he said last year he's “never read any QAnon drop.” In October 2020 he discussed QAnon drops and said: “It's very mind opening. And it broadened my horizons substantially, just getting involved in the movement.” https://t.co/2DFJ07t2Wc pic.twitter.com/VopD1IyCoo

Know your publications.
Human Events, a publication purchased by a pro-Trump activist and lawyer years ago, has acquired The Post Millennial, an outrage porn blog that panders to the far-right. Now folks like Andy Ngo and Jack Posobiec are under the same masthead.
