In a stunning development, the news organization Politico on Monday night  published what it said was a leaked draft  of the eagerly anticipated Supreme Court decision in the Mississippi abortion case, Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. If authentic, the  98-page draft , allegedly written by conservative associate justice Samuel A.
