The leak does seem consistent with increasing polarization of the electorate as well as congress and other govt institutions. With no remaining overlap in parties, and identity groups, there just seem to be fewer and fewer restraints on confidentiality. Wikileaks, Snowden, escalating leaking during the Trump administration, all seem to have led (though not caused) to this point. The opinion itself suggests we may see more so-called established law cases overturned. Affirmative action, various gun control laws, etc. may all be on the block now that the conservatives appear to have a solid five vote majority that is willing to overturn important precedents. Rather than being an end point, this leak feels like the beginning of some sort of epochal judicial/social movement conflict.
