While the public continues processing the contents of the leaked draft opinion overturning Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court is trying to figure out how it got out in the first place.
Chief Justice John Roberts stressed in a Tuesday statement that the draft opinion does not represent the court's final decision. He called the leak a "betrayal of the confidences of the court" but vowed that its work will not be affected in any way.
"This was a singular and egregious breach of that trust that is an affront to the Court and the community of public servants who work here," he said, adding that he had directed the marshal of the court to launch an investigation into the source of the leak.
The duties of the Supreme Court marshal typically include handling security for the building and the justices (in addition to announcing the justices' entrance into the chambers with the famous call of "Oyez, Oyez, Oyez!").

..."Col. Gail Curley, a former U.S. Army attorney, has served as the court's marshal since June 2021. Now she's tasked with finding the source of one of the biggest leaks in modern Supreme Court history — even though it doesn't appear to involve any sort of crime.
Here's what we know about Curley.
She's the second woman to ever hold this position
Curley's appointment was announced by the Supreme Court on May 3, 2021 — exactly one year before she was charged with solving one of its highest-profile mysteries.
She replaced Pamela Talkin, who had retired the previous year after nearly two decades in the role, which she was the first woman to hold. Curley is the 11th marshal of the Supreme Court since the position was created in 1867.
The court describes her role as its "chief security officer, facilities administrator and contracting executive." She is charged with calling the court to order in argument sessions, maintaining order during proceedings and managing some 260 employees — including the Supreme Court Police Force, which protects the court's grounds, justices, employees, visitors and guests."...
