“Right-wing politicians and television networks responded to the news of the leak of a draft Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe v. Wade this week by focusing not on the content of the leak, but on revealing the identity of the leaker. How will they ever recover from this breach of their personal privacy? Maybe Samuel Alito can start wearing a shirt that says, ‘My judicial body, my choice.’” —Seth Meyers
“And how do you know it’s a liberal? It could have just as easily been a conservative — [coughs] Ginni Thomas [coughs] — who leaked the opinion to freeze the majority in place and stop the chief justice, John Roberts, from trying to convince one of the other court’s conservatives to soften their stance. I have no idea, but the fact that they’re all freaking out about the leak instead of celebrating the victory is telling. It underscores yet again that even at the height of their powers, these people always have to play the victim. If they won a free car on ‘Wheel of Fortune,’ they’d immediately start whining: ‘But I already have two cars in my garage — I don’t have space for a brand-new Stingray. This is so unfair!’” —Seth Meyers
“Yes, a left-wing Antifa law clerk trying to sabotage the court, or a right-wing MAGA head trying to lock the decision in place. Or maybe it was the butler. It’s always the butler.” —Trevor Noah
“Many people are horrified, not that women and half the country would lose their rights over their own bodies, but rather that this information got leaked. Which is weird. It’s like running around the deck of the Titanic trying to find out who yelled ‘We’re sinking!’ instead of focusing on the iceberg.” —Trevor Noah
“But while everyone on regular cable channels was playing the least horny version of Knives Out, Newsmax had already cracked the case by blaming, with zero evidence, recently appointed justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. Look at you, using the tried and true investigative technique of ‘The black person did it!’” —Trevor Noah
“As usual, Fox News was committed to not reporting the news, and instead reporting spin that the leaked draft was somehow a win for Democrats. To quote former Trump adviser and Fox News pundit Kellyanne Conway: ‘It’s very curious to me that the Democrats weren’t talking about it until today.’ Typically people wait until something happens to talk about it. Nobody on the Titanic was complaining about icebergs when they left the harbor.” —Stephen Colbert

“A magisterial collection. A combination of Bukowski’s Last Night of the Earth
and Orwell’s 1984.”
