A newly revealed legal filing indicates Justice Samuel Alito believes a conservative-leaning Supreme Court justice did not leak the draft opinion overturning Roe v. Wade to secure votes for its final decision. The document suggests Alito’s skepticism toward theories that the leak was orchestrated by a pro-conservative insider to influence the court’s outcome. Legal experts are now scrutinizing the filing as it adds a layer of intrigue to the ongoing investigation into the source of the explosive draft. The case raises fresh questions about internal divisions and trust within the Supreme Court.


This strongly suggests Alito does not think a conservative leaked to "lock in" the votes.
