Will the Justices Ever Feel That Level of Comfort Again?

Ken Starr, former Solicitor General of the United States, discusses the “egregious” and “unprecedented” leak by an unknown person within the Supreme Court last night. The former law clerk to Chief Justice Warren Burger comments that, not only is this a “profound breach of a confidential duty”, but it shows “the breakdown of institutions, break down of the basic principles that have bound us together, ties of honor”. Saying, this is “going to affect everything, this is going to be as Justice Holmes said, ‘a brooding omnipresence’ of the court, a terrible shadow.”
