| 0:00.0 | Welcome. It is Eric Erickson here. The Eric Erickson Show across the nation from Atlanta, Georgia. The phone number 8779-7373-7-4-25. I did a disservice. In the last hour, I told folks I'd take their calls, but I had so much to say I never got to their calls. So I actually want to spend time beginning this hour with calls. A lot of people |
| 0:22.0 | have a lot of questions on this case out of the Supreme Court, the Dobbs case. A couple of things I |
| 0:26.8 | need to bring you up to speed on that are breaking news. The White House has said this matter is |
| 0:31.3 | with the Department of Justice now. There will be a federal investigation into who leaked it. |
| 0:36.1 | What would the charges be, among other things, |
| 0:38.2 | theft of government property? They release in a Supreme Court opinion is theft of government |
| 0:43.7 | property. And there will be, of course, whoever did this probably will never be able to practice |
| 0:49.3 | law in the United States again. The Supreme Court will see to it. Also, do not blame Sonia Sotomayor. |
| 0:57.0 | There's a lot of speculation. It was one of her law clerks. She is known to have the most |

| 1:26.7 | Now, to the phones, Jerry, waiting very patiently. |
| 1:27.9 | You're going to be up next. Welcome. |
| 1:32.8 | Hey, thank you, Eric. I got a question and then an observation depending on what your answer is to. When was this decision or opinion scheduled to be released? We don't know for sure, |
| 1:38.9 | but most likely June, given that every month the court has one major case and they tend to wait until the end of May or the beginning of June to release them. |
| 1:49.3 | So we're about a month away. |
| 1:51.2 | This Alito opinion draft had been authored in February, according to the timestamp. |
| 1:57.5 | Got it. |
| 1:58.4 | And so about Rush always said in an election year, everything happens with the purpose. |
| 2:03.0 | There are no acquaintances, no it just accidentally. |
| 2:05.9 | So my point is, do you think the right understands exactly who this left is and who they're |
