‘Exceptionally Unprecedented’: Shannon Bream On Roe v. Wade Leak
For the first time in Supreme Court history, a confidential draft opinion has been leaked — one containing crucial information about the future of abortion rights in the United States. In this 98-page draft, Justice Samuel Alito writes that the 1973 landmark decision that set a precedent for women’s right to an abortion was wrongly decided. If the Supreme Court does decide to strike down this precedent, control over abortion rights will fall to the states to dictate. Fox News Chief Legal Correspondent Shannon Bream joins the Rundown to discuss why this leak is unlike anything she’s seen in her fifteen years of reporting, how the Chief Justice will proceed in investigating this breach, and if this overturning could impact other major cases or privacy rights.
