While the lives of Supreme Court conservatives were in danger, liberal justices dithered — and Justice Brett Kavanaugh almost paid the ultimate price.

In the months leading up to the release of the court’s 2022 decision that overturned Roe v. Wade, a leaked majority ruling alerted radicals on the left that the cherished “right” to an abortion was on the verge of disappearing.

They would go to any lengths — including murder — to keep that from happening, and the court’s liberals were helping.

That scenario is described in a “Alito: The Justice Who Reshaped the Supreme Court and Restored the Constitution,” a bookout for release Tuesdayby conservative commentator, author, and Supreme Court watcher Mollie Hemingway.

It focuses on Justice Samuel Alito, author of the 2022 Dobbs decision, and a solid conservative voice overhis two decadeson the Supreme Court.

“Everyone knew that the leak posed a serious security risk for justices,” Hemingway wrote in the book, according toThe Federalist, the conservative website where she serves as editor in chief. “Since decisions do not take effect until issued officially from the bench, the death of a justice before then could alter the result. The threat of assassination increased dramatically.”

Most of that scenario is familiar to Americans who were paying attention at the time, because large, loud, andpotentially dangerous protestswere taking place regularly outside the private homes of the court’s conservatives.

Americans also knew that a particularly deranged supporter of abortion rightshad been arrestednear the home of Justice Brett Kavanaugh, after apparently getting cold feet in the middle of an assassination attempt on the justice.
