There is no unsatisfactory outcome relating to anything that cannot be blamed on machinations of the evil leftists.

If it were discovered that a dinosaur-killer size asteroid was going to hit the Earth tomorrow, someone here would offer the explanation for why it wasn’t discovered in time to divert its path was that some “green” leftist had convinced everyone on the planet with a telescope to remain silent so that the planet could be cleansed of us horrible humans.

And as a recommendation for those who worship at the alter of the infallible polygraph, look up its use in catching spies. I know of at least two who were actively spying for Communist regimes and managed to “pass” the ones they were given. So not only do they falsely accuse the innocent, they exonerate the guilty and thereby help derail efforts to catch them—something else I personally witnessed.

That's why as a general rule, polygraph test results are inadmissible in court.

Maybe it's a tradition at SCOTUS, The original Roe decision was leaked by a clerk who admitted he did it.

A few of the clerks talked to spouses, it's plausible that a spouse contacted a news agency and leaked that the decision was coming after learning about it.

The full 98 page draft of the Roe vs Wade decision was leaked last May 2022.

So it was more than someone telling their spouse (although that was bad enough)

That makes it a bit more egregious, one day it will come out, after they move on, need a book deal, paid to tell a story...

I didn't even go down the polygraph rabbit hole. Polygraphs, in real scientific testing, with double blinds, etc. do no better at detecting lying than any other method, and all of them more or less suck. This is why they are not admissible. Courts, for decades, have recognized that that can't be shown to work. And they don't work.
