This is a really good, thoughtful article.

I happen to disagree with the conclusion, and that's even more weird since I am a "pro-transparency" kind of citizen.

My problem with SCOTUS leaks has nothing to do with the justices. My problem is that leaks make for bad journalism..
I don't want to see the kind of access journalism that infects the other two branches come to the Court. I don't want to see the Maggie Haberman of SCOTUS "reporters."

Judges have to TELL YOU WHY they ruled on cases. Let's discuss THAT as opposed to the melodrama.
Basically, I'm not here for the "Brett Kavanaugh Rehabilitation Through Leaks" game. That is BS.

LOOK AT WHAT PEOPLE DO, not what they say. The Court has to spell out its logic for doing. That's all we need to know. That maybe they felt super bad about being dicks is irrelevant.
I should quickly add, I'm HERE for leaks about Cert Grant decisions and denials. Judges don't have to explain themselves so... leak away and tell us the explanations.
