A group of Republican members of Congress introduced a bill Tuesday that would make it a federal crime to leak confidential information, including draft opinions, from the Supreme Court.
Louisiana Representative Mike Johnson (R) introduced the “Leaker Accountability Act” Tuesday, in response to the leaking of a draft Supreme Court opinion in the case of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. If enacted, the bill would make it a federal crime to obstruct Supreme Court deliberations by knowingly divulging confidential information. Eleven of Johnson’s Republican colleagues co-signed the bill.
