Rubio Bill: Ten-Year Sentence For SCOTUS Leakers

Florida Politics reports:

Sen. Marco Rubio teamed up with Louisiana’s Bill Cassidy and Mississippi’s Cindy Hyde-Smith to introduce the “Stop Supreme Court Leakers Act.” The bill was a reaction to the unprecedented leak of a draft opinion in the case, which Rubio says was intended to intimidate conservative Justices.

This bill mandates a $10,000 fine and up to 10 years of prison time per count for those who leak confidential opinions, notes, communications, and non-public personal information, such as addresses, of Justices and staff.

“You shouldn’t receive a badge of honor or financial reward for leaking confidential documents from one of our nation’s most sacred institutions — you should face serious penalties,” Rubio said.
