A new book by Mollie Hemingway just dropped a bombshell that we all kind of suspected but never had confirmed: liberal Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan completely lost her mind after the Dobbs decision leaked in May 2022. And by “lost her mind,” we mean she screamed at fellow liberal Justice Stephen Breyer so loudly that staffers said “the wall was shaking.”

The wall. Was. Shaking. This is a Supreme Court Justice, not a contestant on *Jerry Springer*. But here we are.

According to Hemingway’s book, titled *Alito*, here’s what happened. After the draft opinion leaked to Politico’s Josh Gerstein — revealing that the Court had voted to overturn Roe v. Wade — Justice Samuel Alito asked his liberal colleagues to hurry up and finish their dissents. Why? Because conservative justices were receiving assassination threats. Actual, credible death threats. Alito himself said the leak “made us targets of assassination.”

So what did Breyer do? The decent thing. He was willing to accommodate the request to speed things along because, despite disagreeing with the majority opinion, he’s apparently the last gentleman left on the liberal side of the bench.

Kagan’s response? She screamed at him not to do it.

Let that picture form in your mind for a second. A sitting Supreme Court Justice — one of the nine most powerful legal minds in the country — threw a tantrum so violent that people outside the room thought the building was coming apart. And what was she screaming about? She didn’t want Breyer to help speed up the dissent timeline, even though her conservative colleagues were getting death threats.

“Sure, Alito might get assassinated, but we need more time to write a really snarky dissent!” That’s essentially what she was saying. Priorities!

Here’s the part that should make every American’s blood boil. The Supreme Court launched an investigation into who leaked the draft opinion. They interviewed 97 staffers. Every single one signed a sworn affidavit under penalty of perjury denying involvement. And yet — shocker — the investigation concluded that the leaker “could not be identified.”

Alito says he “likely knows who was responsible.” We bet he does.

Think about what the leak actually was. Someone inside the Supreme Court — the most sacred legal institution in the country — deliberately leaked a draft opinion to the media in an attempt to politically pressure justices into changing their votes. That’s not whistleblowing. That’s sabotage. That’s an attempt to undermine the judicial process itself.

And when it didn’t work? When the Court went ahead and correctly ruled that the Constitution doesn’t contain a right to abortion? Kagan went full banshee on an 83-year-old man whose only crime was being polite.

(Breyer retired shortly after. Can’t imagine why.)

We keep hearing from the Left about how conservatives are “threats to democracy” and “undermining institutions.” Meanwhile, their justice is literally shaking the walls of the Supreme Court building because she’s mad that the Constitution won. Their side leaked a confidential draft opinion to try to rig the outcome. Their supporters showed up at conservative justices’ homes with weapons.

But yeah, WE’RE the dangerous ones. Classic.

You know what the funniest part is? Kagan was supposed to be the “reasonable” liberal justice. She was the one media outlets always described as “pragmatic” and “willing to work across ideological lines.” Turns out “pragmatic” means “will scream at an elderly colleague until the drywall cracks” when things don’t go her way.

Imagine being so committed to abortion that you literally terrorize a fellow liberal justice for daring to show basic human decency toward colleagues who are receiving death threats. That’s not legal reasoning. That’s a meltdown. That’s someone who has confused their political preferences with moral righteousness so completely that they can’t even function when the law doesn’t bend to their will.

Mollie Hemingway’s book is shaping up to be one of the most important pieces of Supreme Court journalism in years. We already knew the Dobbs leak was a disgrace. Now we know the tantrum that followed was even worse than we imagined.

Kagan owes Breyer an apology. She owes Alito an apology. And she owes the American people an explanation for why a justice who can’t control her own emotions should be trusted to interpret the law for 330 million people.

But we won’t hold our breath. She’ll just keep sitting up there in her robe, pretending she’s the calm and measured one, while the walls tell a very different story.
