TL;DR

Following the monumental leak of the draft opinion to overturn Roe v. Wade in May, a former anti-abortion leader claims he was told the outcome of a 2014 case weeks before it was announced publicly, according to a report published on Saturday in The New York Times.Rob Schenck, who led an evangelical nonprofit in Washington, said he was informed ahead of time about the ruling of Burwell v. Hobby Lobby, a landmark case involving contraception and religious rights, according to a letter he wrote to Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr.Roberts did not respond to the letter.A draft of the majority opinion to overturn Roe was leaked in May and sent shockwaves across the country, galvanizing activists on both sides of the debate.The next day, the Times reported, one of the Wrights called Schenck and told him Alito had written the majority opinion, and that the case would be decided in favor of Hobby Lobby.I have no knowledge of any project that they allegedly undertook for 'Faith and Action,' 'Faith and Liberty,' or any similar group, and I would be shocked and offended if those allegations are true.""
